How is a claim denied?

Within 21 days from the date the employee provides notification of an injury, the employer/insurer denies liability and issues a Notice of Workers' Compensation Denial to the employee. The Denial must also be filed with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. After the Denial is issued, the injured worker can pursue a claim through litigation.
