Kentucky Denied Workers Compensation Claim and Appeals Attorney

Kentucky Workers' Compensation Claims BenefitsHave you received a denied workers compensation claim in Kentucky or Indiana?  Don’t worry, we have helped countless injured workers through this challenge and will work to help you.  There is a process you must follow to ensure that you are eligible to receive maximum workers’ compensation benefits.  You must notify your employer when you are injured at work.  If you are diagnosed with an occupational disease or a condition that is related to employment (such as a repetitive motion diagnosis) you must report your claim as soon as you become aware of the diagnosis.

Your workers’ compensation claim must be formally filed in within 2 years of the date of your original injury or you will lose part or all of the benefits to which you are entitled.

The attorneys at the Jennings Law Offices have decades of experience serving Kentucky and southern Indiana injured workers and managing their workers compensation claims.  We help to make it easy to organize the information required and file your claim while ensuring that your information is accurate and completely conforms to the filing requirements.  Initial consultations with the Jennings Law Offices are free either by telephone or office appointment.

Workers Compensation Claim Denial

Denied Kentucky Workers Compensation Claim

If and when your workers’ compensation claim is denied by the insurance company, contact us immediately.

There are several reasons why your claim may be denied:

The insurance carrier may assert that you did not submit your claim on time.  Our attorneys can help to document important dates and seek the testimony of medical professionals and co-workers to help appeal a timely submission denial.

Your employer may dispute your claim alleging that your behavior directly caused or significantly contributed to your injury at work.  This would include horseplay, intoxication or self-inflicted injuries.  If these assertions by your employer are untrue, the Jennings Law Offices will support your claim by gathering witness statements, video footage and other documentation or evidence that helps to prove you were responsibly working at the time of your injury.

Your employer or the insurance carrier assert the injury happened outside of work or at home.  It is possible for our experienced workers compensation lawyers to prove you never sought treatment prior to the injury at work, or that the work injury resulted in a “harmful change” to a pre-existing condition.

If you have been denied a valid workers’ compensation claim or received a claim denial letter from the Kentucky Department of Workers’ Claims or your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance carrier, contact our office immediately.  There are strict time limits for you to successfully appeal the denied workers compensation claim and our team must work quickly and aggressively to protect your interests.

What should I do if my employer or the insurance carrier denies my workers comp claim?

Often this is due to missing medical information and a comprehensive application. Our attorneys review your claim, organize the proper information and appeal your case to get you the benefits you deserve.

How do I know if the settlement offer is fair?

Workers comp insurance companies look for every opportunity to reduce the amount paid to you or your medical team. Our attorneys work to make sure you receive the maximum benefits you deserve.

What happens if my employer denies liability for my injury?

Employers and their insurance carriers often try to shift part or all of the blame away from themselves. Our attorneys help to prove your case, when and how you were injured or that work aggravated your condition.

What happens if I can't go back to work?

Our attorneys work to ensure you receive the maximum Permanent Partial Disability (PPT) or Permanent Total Disability (PTD) settlement you deserve. We also investigate your qualification for Social Security disability benefits.
