Workers Comp Claim Denied?
Don't Give Up - We Fight Denied Claims and Win
Common Reasons for Claim Denials
Missed Deadlines
Failing to report your injury within 30 days or file a claim within one year can result in denial. We can help determine if exceptions apply to your case.
Disputed Work-Relatedness
Insurance companies often claim your injury didn't happen at work or wasn't caused by your job. We gather evidence to prove the work connection.
Pre-Existing Condition Claims
Having a prior injury doesn't automatically disqualify you. We prove how your work aggravated or worsened your condition.
Insufficient Medical Evidence
Weak medical documentation can lead to denial. We work with your doctors to build strong medical evidence supporting your claim. Learn more about specific injuries like neck injuries and shoulder injuries.
Intoxication Allegations
Claims that you were under the influence at the time of injury. We challenge unfair drug test results and prove your injury is compensable.
Lack of Witness Corroboration
No witnesses to your accident can make proving your case harder. We use medical evidence, expert testimony, and other proof to support your claim.
The Appeals Process in Georgia
Request for Hearing
We file a WC-14 form with the State Board of Workers' Compensation requesting a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. This must be done within strict time limits.
Discovery & Investigation
We gather medical records, take depositions, obtain expert opinions, and build a strong case to prove your injury is work-related and compensable.
Mediation Conference
Most cases go through mediation first. We negotiate aggressively to reach a fair settlement without the need for a formal hearing.
Formal Hearing
If mediation fails, we present your case before an Administrative Law Judge. We present evidence, examine witnesses, and argue why your claim should be approved.
Appellate Board Review
If the judge's decision is unfavorable, we can appeal to the Appellate Division of the State Board and, if necessary, to the Georgia Court of Appeals.
