| Once a claim form is filed, your employer/insurer must either "admit" or "deny" liability within 30 days. If they fail to do so, they may be liable for penalties. If the employer/insurer denies your claim, you will have to file for and prevail at a hearing. At the hearing, you will need to prove specific elements of your claim/injury. Certain evidence needs to be properly presented (complying with the rules of evidence and procedure). Failure to establish the employer's liability through a hearing will result in the injured worker being left without any benefits. We have successfully assisted hundreds of injured workers by prevailing at these hearings. Trust our experience.
