What to Do If Your Worker's Comp Claim Is Denied
If your insurance company denied your worker's comp claim, don’t panic. Here’s what you can do:
1. Request a Written Denial
Make sure the insurer sends you a formal explanation. This will help identify what to challenge.
2. Contact an Attorney Immediately
Timing is critical. You only have two years from the injury—or from your last benefits payment—to file a claim with the Indiana Worker's Compensation Board (§22-3-3-3).
3. Appeal the Denial
We’ll file the necessary paperwork, gather medical evidence, and represent you in all proceedings, including hearings before the Board if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Indiana Worker's Compensation
Do I Need a Lawyer If My Employer Is Already Paying Benefits?
Possibly. If your benefits are late, reduced, or your treatment is being delayed, it’s a red flag. We’ll review your situation for free and tell you if legal help can make a difference.
Can I Be Fired for Filing a Worker's Comp Claim?
Indiana law prohibits employers from retaliating against you for pursuing a claim. But some employers still try to let injured workers go. If this happens, we’ll hold them accountable.
Why Did the Insurance Company Switch My Doctor?
Insurers often try to “doctor shop” to find physicians who’ll downplay injuries or push you back to work early. We’ll fight to preserve your right to fair, compassionate medical care.
Am I Entitled to a Cash Settlement?
In most cases, yes. Whether through a PPI rating or full settlement, we fight to ensure you receive the maximum compensation possible.
What If I Was Injured by Someone Who Doesn’t Work for My Employer?
That may be grounds for a third-party claim, which could mean more compensation. This includes accidents involving subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or drivers in work-related crashes.
