If your workers’ comp claim has been challenged or already denied, yes, you will most likely need a lawyer to obtain benefits.
The simple fact is that your employer, and more specifically, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer, know the system far better than you do. If your employer is intent on making sure your claim fails, it has the upper hand.
The New York and New Jersey workers’ comp programs have many rules and regulations for pursuing a claim, or appealing a claim that has been denied. They can be hard to understand and follow. A problem with your application, or a missed deadline for filing paperwork, could be enough for your claim to be rejected, or at least delayed. Even missing doctor’s appointments may result in an end to benefits.
On the other hand, the Ginarte law firm works with workers’ compensation claimants like you to make sure their claim applications are correct and complete when they are filed, so that they’ll be processed as easily as possible.
