Why was my claim denied?

Many worker's compensation, Social Security, and personal injury claims are denied. The worker's compensation carrier may deny that you were injured at work. It may dispute the severity of the injury. It may deny any responsibility for your injury. You work hard and you do not deserve to be treated that way. Fortunately, you still have options

Likewise, the Social Security Administration may have denied your claim or even your initial appeal, saying you are not disabled "enough" or for as long as the law requires.
Similarly, a claims adjuster may be offering you "an insufficient settlement" for a motor vehicle accident that you did not cause. This process does not have to stop at denial. Our attorneys can help you get the compensation and treatment you deserve.
