If Your PA Work Comp Claim is Denied
Your Employer Denies Responsibility For Your Claim
If your employer denies responsibility for your injury, you will receive a letter titled "notice of workers compensation denial." If you were receiving temporary payments this letter means your employer will no longer approve payments.
If you receive a denial or have temporary payments stopped, you should call us immediately. If you told your employer about your work-related injury or illness within the required 120 days, you have 3 years from the date you were injured to file a claims petition. You should file as quickly as possible.
Keep in mind, if your medical bills are being paid, that is not the same as the having your Pennsylvania work comp claim accepted. Having your claim accepted means that you are receiving payments for lost wages.
What happens next?
- After you file a Pennsylvania work comp claims petition, your case will be assigned to a judge .
