Denied Claims

Workers’ Comp Claims Denied In Delaware

It is frequently stated that Delaware's workers' compensation system is designed to protect both the employer and the employee in the event of an on-the-job injury. That's true to a point. However, obtaining full and fair workers' compensation payments can be a complex and frustrating process that often leaves injured workers feeling as if the system is rigged against them.

If your employer denies your claim, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a petition for compensation due with the Office of Workers' Compensation. If the case goes to a hearing, the employee must arrange for the presence of a medical witness or the scheduling of a deposition prior to the hearing date.

If you receive a notice of denial, or you simply do not hear back from your employer's workers' compensation carrier, the experienced attorneys at Nitsche & Fredricks LLC can help you understand your legal rights and what steps to take to obtain the workers' comp benefits you deserve.
