Reinartz Law Firm was founded by attorney Richard A. Reinartz. We focus on helping people in New Jersey who’ve suffered serious injuries. Our team handles various personal injury cases, with a strong focus on workers’ compensation.
As workers’ compensation attorneys at Reinartz Law Firm, we understand how life-changing a work injury can be. Our legal team works hard to protect the rights of injured workers and ensure they are treated fairly.
We aim to fight for every client’s legal rights, seek the best possible results, and offer personal care throughout the process.
Why Workers’ Compensation Claims Get Denied
Workers’ compensation claims often get denied for simple but costly reasons. Missed deadlines are a major one—insurers can reject the claim outright if paperwork isn’t filed on time.
Another issue is insufficient medical evidence. Without strong doctors’ reports linking the injury to work, insurers may argue it wasn’t job-related.
Employer disputes also lead to denials. Some companies claim the injury happened off-duty or wasn’t serious enough to qualify. When a claim is denied, workers face lost wages, mounting medical bills, and stressful appeals. Without benefits, even routine recoveries can become financial crises.
Reinartz Law Firm’s Expertise in Preventing Denials
At our firm, we take steps early to help reduce the risk of claim denials. Our experience handling tough cases has taught us what can go wrong—and how to prevent it.
- Proactive Case Evaluation: We review each case closely from the start. This helps us catch any gaps or issues before they become a problem.
- Thorough Documentation: We ensure everything is complete: medical records, accident reports, and any witness statements supporting the claim.
- Timely Filing and Compliance: Missing deadlines can cost workers their benefits. We track every deadline and handle the paperwork to keep claims on track.
- Negotiation and Appeals: When claims are unfairly denied, we step in. Our attorneys are skilled at challenging denials and advocating for fair outcomes.
Our team has secured major victories, including a $16 million class settlement against the State of New Jersey for wrongful death in COVID-19 nursing homes. That level of experience matters when you’re up against a denial.
