Denial of Claim If an insurer decides to contest your claim they must notify you by certified mail of the denial, telling you the reasons, and must tell you of your right to file a claim with the DIA. The same procedure is followed if they began paying, and then stop, or request the DIA's permission to stop your benefits. If your initial claim is denied by the insurer, you may appeal that denial by filing with the DIA.
Your claim must be submitted on a Form 110 Employee’s Claim Form. The form must be filled out completely and accurately. All claim forms must be submitted to the Boston Office. You must also send a copy to the insurer. By law your employer must provide you with the name and address of the insurer. If your employer refuses to provide this information, or they do not have workers’ compensation insurance, notify the DIA at once.
We recommend that you keep a copy of the Form 110 for your own files. When you go to any DIA office for a proceeding, be sure to bring with you any letters the insurer or the DIA has sent you, along with any other relevant paperwork, especially the notice telling you of the proceeding.
Filing a workers' compensation claim is a complicated and difficult task. If you would like your claim to be reviewed by an attorney, complete the form below for a free evaluation.
