Denied claim

A denial is not the end of the road. We help injured workers understand why a claim was denied and pursue the benefits they are entitled to.

## Help after a denial

When a claim is denied, the insurer is declining to pay the requested benefits for now. A denial can often be challenged. With additional evidence or a hearing, an insurer's decision can change and benefits can be paid.

The first step is to understand the reason for the denial. Once we know why the claim was denied, we can address it and pursue the benefits you are owed, including at an administrative hearing.

## Working through the appeal

We work closely with you through the process, help gather the medical and other evidence your claim needs, and represent you so you do not have to face the insurer alone.
