If you have recently filed for workers' compensation and have had your claim denied, don't lose hope. You still have the ability to fight for the compensation you need after your workplace accident injury. Your employer may try to convince you that your claim has no grounds, but if you did not cause your injury, you have rights as an injured worker to receive workers' comp. By acquiring the assistance of an Atlanta workers' compensation lawyer and filing a workers' comp appeal in a timely manner, you may still be able to receive the payment you deserve.

The Workers' Comp Appeals Process in Georgia

After a workers' comp denial, a Georgia employee can file an appeal to have their denial reviewed in court before an administrative law judge (ALJ). The hearing will be scheduled for a date two or three months from the file date. The ALJ could then issue an award, or confirm the denial of your claim. Should that happen, you can still take your appeal to higher court, even as far as the Supreme Court, as long as they grant request to be heard. If you need to file an appeal after a workers' comp denial, make sure you have excellent legal advice. Call The Law Office of Brian H. Sumrall today.
