If you were injured in a work accident or sustained an injury due to the type of job you perform and your employer and/or their insurance company has advised you that the claim is denied, it is imperative that you seek the advice of an experienced workers’ compensation trial attorney. Simply because the claim was denied does not mean that you cannot recover benefits.
Sometimes your employer and/or their insurance carrier will have a valid basis for denying your claim under New Jersey law. Many times they will not. Moreover, if your claim has been denied and there are serious issues involved, an experienced workers’ compensation trial attorney may be able to negotiate a large lump sum cash settlement on your behalf. If you have questions or concerns regarding the denial of your workers’ compensation claim, please call one of the workers’ compensation trial attorneys at Pietras Saracino Smith & Meeks, LLP for a free consultation.
