4 Actions to take if Your Georgia Workers' Compensation Claim is Denied

When you're injured on the job, you may go through all the appropriate steps to pursue a claim, but in the end, you still receive a Notice of Dispute from your employer's Workers' Compensation insurance provider. When your Georgia Workers' Compensation claim has been rejected in Hiram, a work injury lawyer can help you evaluate the reasons your claim was denied and fortify your case for a hearing.

4 Things to Do When a Georgia Workers' Compensation Claim is Denied 

• Georgia law mandates that all denied claims be explained. Make sure the reasoning for your denial is included in your notice of dispute and that you understand it.  
• Get help from an attorney. Your employer may have advised you against this, but a lawyer may know how to strengthen your case and show that there's no valid reason to deny your claim.  
• Request a hearing with the State Board. Generally, this is the first thing your lawyer may do. 
• Keep copies of all correspondence with your employer and/or employer's Workers' Compensation insurance provider. Make sure your attorney receives copies of the correspondence along with any other paperwork.  

If your Georgia Workers' Compensation claim is denied, chances are the denial was over a trivial reason or because the insurance company has an eye on its bottom line. An attorney can get you back on track with your claim and demonstrate the legitimacy and immediacy of your claim to the provider to get you the benefits you deserve for your work-related injury.
