Denver Workers' Comp Denial Appeals Lawyer

Has your workers' comp claim been denied?

Denial of workers' comp claims happen more often than you may think. If your workers' comp claim appeal has been denied and you feel strongly that you are entitled to workers' comp benefits, don't give up hope. Whatever the reason for denial, your Denver workers' compensation lawyer will do whatever is necessary to appeal your case. They have many years of collective experience appealing denied claims and winning appeals benefits for their clients.

Our attorneys will thoroughly review what occurred during the filing of your claim. What exactly did your employer do or say? What did the insurance company do or say? Were there misunderstandings or lack of communication that contributed to the claim being denied? Once this investigation has been completed, the results will be used to build an appeal that supports your case.

The Worker's Comp Appeals Process in Denver

The appeals process in Denver consists of a number of sequential actions. First, your attorney will file your Petition to Review in a timely manner. The next step is to then file a brief in support of your appeal. The Administrative Law Judge will review your appeal, and may issue an order. A hearing may also be held. If an order is not issued, your case is moved to the Industrial Claims Review Office (a panel of 2 or more appellate Administrative Law Judges) for their review of your case. A written decision is then issued. If you are not satisfied with this decision, you have the recourse to appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

As you can see, the appeals process can be a complex, lengthy and time consuming one. Though you are not required to hire a lawyer to pursue your appeal, a simple mistake on your part such as failing to file the correct form, or filing late may result in you losing your case. It is in your best interest to hire a capable Denver workers' comp appeal attorney to represent you. While you are taking care of yourself after your workplace injury or accident, the team of attorneys at Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC will take care of your legal needs.
