Tampa, FL workers’ compensation Mark Lee discusses what to do if your employer or carrier denies you workers’ compensation claim. He points out that if your claim is denied, it is recommended that you seek legal advice to discuss the reasons for the denial and whether or not you should challenge it. If you choose to challenge the denial, you can do so by submitting additional evidence to the employer or carrier, or by filing a petition for benefits with the court to compel the employer or carrier to approve those benefits.
