How can an injured worker appeal a denied claim?

To appeal a denied claim, an injured worker can request a formal hearing with the Disability Compensation Division. This process allows the worker to present their case formally, and it is specifically designed to address disputes arising from denied claims in the workers' compensation system. During this hearing, the injured worker can provide additional evidence or testimonies to support their claim, and the Division reviews the case based on the established workers' compensation laws and regulations in Hawaii.

In this context, engaging directly with the Disability Compensation Division is the appropriate formal channel for disputes about claim denials, ensuring that the appeal is processed correctly according to legal standards. This structured approach is essential for ensuring that injured workers receive a fair assessment of their claims based on the merits of their case and the relevant provisions of workers' compensation law.
