Workers' comp claim denied in New Jersey: what to do next
A denial from the insurance carrier is not the final word on a New Jersey workers' comp claim. You can ask the Division of Workers' Compensation to decide the dispute by filing a formal claim petition, generally within two years of the accident or the last comp payment, and if you need treatment or wage benefits now, you can file a motion for medical and temporary benefits. Attorneys can't charge an upfront fee in comp cases, and fees must be approved by a judge.
