Denied Workers’ Compensation Claims

A denied claim is not the end. In every state we serve, workers have the right to contest a denial by filing a formal claim petition. A workers’ comp judge will hear evidence and decide the case.

The Legal Detail

Common denial grounds: injury did not occur at work, did not report in time, is a pre-existing condition, or is not a compensable injury. Each ground has specific legal defenses. We know them and we use them.

State-Specific Procedures

Pennsylvania: Bureau of Workers’ Compensation claim petition, heard by a Workers’ Compensation Judge. New Jersey: claim petition in the Division of Workers’ Compensation, mandatory mediation. New York: C-3 Employee Claim, judge hearings through the Workers’ Compensation Board. Maryland: Claim Form filing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
