In most cases you have 90 days from the date on your denial notice to ask for a hearing. Do not wait to find out.
Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons. Some are paperwork problems. Others are disputes about what happened. The reason on your letter tells us where to start.
The insurer questions whether your injury is connected to your job.
A missed deadline or missing detail on a form can lead to a denial.
The insurer claims a condition you had before caused your symptoms.
Your employer says the accident did not happen or that you are not an employee.
Gaps in treatment or conflicting notes can weaken a claim.
The insurer sent you to its own doctor, and that doctor reached a different conclusion.
