About 50% of all workers compensation claims are denied. You have the right, however, to file a claim with the DIA to contest the denial.  If you do so, the DIA strongly recommends obtaining a Massachusetts workers’ compensation attorney to help you with the dispute process.  You will have to complete an Employee’s Claim Form (Form 110), attaching any medical evidence of that supports your claim and a description of when and how your injury occurred.Once you send the completed form to the DIA, you will receive a date for a Conciliation meeting to try to reach a voluntary agreement with the insurer.  If no agreement can be reached, you will have a Conference with an Administrative Judge, where you’ll be permitted to argue for your right to receive workers’ compensation benefits.  A decision as to whether to grant benefits will be made at the Conference, but can be appealed by either side at a subsequent Hearing.
