If your claim is denied, you can challenge the decision. The denial notice will outline the reason, which can be used to file an appeal. A Colorado Springs workers’ comp attorney can guide you through the appeals process.

If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, you still have options. At Bradford Pelton P.C., we can help you challenge the denial by requesting a prehearing conference with an administrative law judge to present evidence and clarify any misunderstandings. If the initial appeal is not successful, we may be able to escalate the case to the Colorado Court of Appeals to continue pursuing the benefits you deserve. Contact us today to discuss your options and how we can assist in the appeals process.
