WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM DENIED?

What to Do if Your Workers’ Compensation Case is Denied

Getting a workers’ compensation claim denied is not an uncommon experience. There could be many reasons for the denial of the claim. One of the most common reasons is that your claim might not have been filed in time. Many states require you to file for workers’ compensation as soon as possible, usually within the first few days of your accident. It is also possible that your employer disputed your claim of injury. If your claim has been denied, contact Gilbert, Blaszcyk & Milburn, LLP.

You never know what aspect, big or small, could help you win your case.
