A Denial Is Not the End of the Process
After a work accident or injury, you should notify your employer immediately. It is also important to get the names of any witnesses, fill out the incident report and get medical treatment. You can contact an attorney immediately, even before you file the workers’ comp claim. We will ensure that you understand your rights, including the right to choose a doctor for your work injury.
If you receive a denial, we can review your claim and help you appeal the decision. Sometimes, we just need to resubmit it with the correct information. In many cases, people do not include all of the necessary information and medical reports when they apply. However, some claims are denied without a valid reason. Regardless, we can take the case as far as it needs to go. We have successfully argued cases before the Rhode Island Supreme Court and Rhode Island Workers’ Compensation appellate division.
