Plainview, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/05/2015 -- One of the toughest things to hear is that an injured worker is denied Workers' Compensation benefits. Even though the evidence was presented to the court, there's often ways that insurance companies and employers can use to receive a denial ruling. However, all is not lost. Here's a few tips on how to appeal the decision.

1) File a petition – After a case is denied, the initial appeal process requires a petition to be filed for a judge to review the case within 30 days. A Workers' Compensation attorney in Long Island can help prepare the necessary documents and find any missing evidence to present for the case.

Denials in cases may have only been the result of not having a specific document or not describing the extent to which the injuries caused harm enough to show an impact to the judge or panel.

2) Get a medical decision – The attorney may decide the client needs to be re-evaluated to show the extent of which the injuries impact their function at work and life. Having another review of medical issues would present a report on the injured worker's medical condition.

Given time, the Workers' Compensation Long Island attorney may ask for the medical reviewer to give a testimony about the injured worker's extents to their injury. Otherwise, the judge would review the evidence that was used in the original case.

In settlement cases, an injured worker has a few things they need to look at to ensure they want to settle. One thing they need to review is whether the compensation will be enough for their injuries. Depending on the amount of time the injured worker is out of work and the costs of their injuries, the settlement should cover this amount and more.

Deciding to appeal or settle a case should be carefully considered during the process of claiming Workers' Compensation. A work injury lawyer in Long Island helps claimants begin the process of appeal or settlement.
