Denied Claims Lawyer in East Brunswick
Experienced in Appeals
The workers’ comp system in New Jersey was established to protect workers – and employers. You exchange the right to sue your employer for the right to benefits through this “no-fault” system.
You should expect to have your medical treatment covered, and to receive benefits for a percentage of your paycheck, if you are injured at work, whether due to:
- An accident
- Toxic exposure
- Repetitive motions
- A fall
- Or other incidents
Unfortunately, it isn’t always that easy.
Contact the Law Office of Howard S. Teitelbaum online or at (732) 338-0785 if you’ve had a claim denied. Our denied claims lawyer in East Brunswick can help you file an appeal.
Why a Workers’ Comp Claim Can Be Denied
A valid claim may be denied for various reasons, including but not limited to:
- No one witnessed the injury, causing your employer to claim it did not occur on the job
- You failed to report your injury
- You reported your injury, but your employer did not report it
- You failed to submit the required documentation
- Your medical records do not match the accident report
- Your injury was pre-existing and not work-related
- You are attempting to defraud the system
A staggering percentage of valid claims are denied, leaving a worker in a tough position with medical bills piling up, unable to work, and without an income. This is the time to reach out to our legal team.
