Injured At Work: Medical Claim Denied
Even after the incident, was told by my management that it would be in my best of interest to go to the E.R and miss work that it would be covered. Just got in the mail that the claim was denied and I am responsible for the medical bills, which includes at least 4 x-rays. Should I hire a lawyer or what?

Who denied it, your health insurance company? Did you file a worker’s comp claim? If you were injured at work, even if you weren’t clocked in, you were still injured at work. Click here to find a pre-screened attorney.
First of all what is the reason of denial? I need to know , maybe its denied as not a medical emergency… lets just say that is the denial .. what you will do is submit an appeal….. call your insurance why was it denied and what can i do to process? IF there are medical records needed , ask what they are….. and submit a written appeal together with that records…..
find a good liability lawyer who will take your case on a contingency basis, don’t sign off on anything. you went to the e.r under your "employers instruction", after being "injured at your employers place of business" and also "your work place". use an out of town attorney who doesn’t have to worry about ruffling feathers where he lives. there lawyer referral services available by searching the inet and your states legal services. also check with your states labor dept. if you missed any regular scheduled work hours because of your accident , exam and treatment. don’t say anything to anyone connected with your job or friends about this until your atty. settles your case for you. good luck.
