The Majority of Workers' Comp Claims Are Denied at First
If your claim was denied, you should not give up. In most cases, we are able to determine the reason for the denial and work to resolve it. Many times, submitting the correct accident information and medical evidence will resolve the claim. We understand Tennessee workers' compensation law and know what type of information the Department of Labor wants to see.
Most denials can be appealed. Our firm has handled denials for reasons such as:
- Lack of causal relationship between the injury and accident
- Denying that the accident happened or that the employer was at fault
- Failure to meet the deadline for notifying the employer of the accident
- Employer claims the employee was drunk or on drugs
- Employee has a pre-existing condition
- Treating physician does not rate employee as disabled
We can investigate your accident, gather and review your medical records, and represent you at hearings before the Workers' Compensation Specialist assigned to your case. If necessary, we can pursue your case in court.
