Cherry Hill Denied Workers Compensation Claim Lawyer
Last updated on April 2, 2025
Workers’ compensation is supposed to provide financial support and medical care for employees who sustain injuries on the job. Despite this intention, not all claims get approved. A claim denial leaves injured workers uncertain about their next steps.
If your claim was denied, an experienced workers’ compensation appeal lawyer will provide invaluable legal guidance and advice throughout the appeal process. At Jacobs, Schwalbe & Petruzzelli, P.C. our workers’ compensation lawyers help clients in Cherry Hill and the surrounding New Jersey communities appeal denied claims. We want to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Why Do Workers’ Compensation Claims Get Denied?
Sometimes, workers’ compensation claims will get denied. There are several reasons a claim might be denied. These include:
- Incomplete or inaccurate paperwork: If the paperwork was not completed correctly, or the information provided was insufficient, your claim might be denied.
- Reporting the injury after the required timeframe: If you don’t file a workers’ compensation claim in a timely manner, it can result in a denial.
- Insufficient medical documentation about the injury: Without accurate supporting documentation regarding your workplace injury, your claim could be denied.
- Inability to connect the injury to the work: If there is not enough evidence to show that your injury was work-related, your claim could be denied.
- Preexisting conditions: A workers’ compensation claim can be denied if there is evidence that your injury is related to preexisting health conditions.
An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you review and file your initial claim for benefits or assist with an appeal. This will help make sure that your paperwork is correct and that your claim has all of the supporting documentation and evidence that is needed to get approved. Unfortunately, claims often get denied. However, an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can review your initial claim, assess the reasons for its denial and help you file an appeal.
