What if my claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, you can ask the insurance company to reconsider, or you can try the Workers' Compensation Court's alternative dispute resolution process. In most cases, though, you will ultimately end up with two choices: 1) accept the denial (and the fact that nothing further will be paid for by the Workers' Compensation insurance carrier, including medical treatment); or 2) retain an attorney to file a Petition in the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court. Unless you just don't care about getting treatment or a paycheck, you are probably going to want to select option 2. Fortunately, you don't have to have any money up front to pay us, which can be a pretty big deal when you have a denied insurance claim and have not been able to work for some time. Call (800) 665-0064 to talk to an attorney and discuss how to begin the process of having that decision reversed.
