QUESTION
What happens next after my worker’s compensation claim was denied?
Asked on Apr 21st, 2014 on Personal Injury - Michigan
More details to this question:
My attorney kept saying he was to file a petition for a week and a hearing is in 3 weeks. I'm confused about all of this. It's a black and white case- both injuries happened at work 2 times now. I got no claim information and no money while waiting for a denial. I feel like I'm being jerked around. What happens if that petition goes through? When will I get any money or any benefits my family is going without?

If you do not file a timely appeal, you lose and you probably cannot file again for the same injury.

If the claim was denied by the insurance carrier, your only options are to try an mediate through the Alabama Dept of Labor or file suit.

You are being jerked around. Insurance companies do thhis all the time. Did your lawyer get the hearing date? If so, he's doing his job and you just have to work within the system, even though it isn't working for you.
