What recourse do I have if my employer declines my request for workers’ compensation?

Employers deny workers’ compensation benefits for many different reasons. If your employer has refused to grant your request for such benefits, you can communicate with your employer’s insurance company directly.

In addition, you can file a claim with the New Jersey Division of Workers’ Compensation. However, you should first seek legal counsel from a knowledgeable and experienced workers’ compensation attorney. Your attorney will assist you in navigating through the process, and make certain that you receive all the benefits to which you are entitled.
