Denying Valid Claims

Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims for workers' comp benefits in the hope that you will take "no" for an answer and just go away. You have up to one year from the date of the injury to file an appeal with the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation. Our attorneys will analyze why your claim was denied and compile the facts and expert testimony required to show why your claim should be paid.

Injured workers are not the only parties who must meet deadlines. The insurance company must either reject your claim or begin paying benefits for your workplace injury within 21 days. If they fail to do so, they must pay penalties and your attorney fees.

From offices in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, our workers' compensation attorneys represent injured workers statewide.
