“Denial” is not just a river in Egypt, it is a tactic used by the Employer/Carrier to stop paying your benefits.

If the Employer/Carrier has denied benefits, we can help. They may file a formal “Notice of Denial” (form DWC-12), or simply fail/refuse to provide the benefit.  It is hard enough trying to deal with the pain and disability caused by an injury, but when the insurance company denies that your injuries are related to work, or denies your entitlement to compensation and necessary medical care, things can become much more difficult very quickly.  Just because the insurance company denies benefits, it does not mean they are correct.  

If you have been denied benefits, you should have a free consultation with a Board Certified workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible.  

A petition for benefits (workers’ comp. lawsuit) can and should be filed to contest the denial, and if the insurance company does not make things right and provide the requested benefits within 30 days receipt of the petition, they will be responsible for paying for your attorney’s fees and costs.
