There is a reason why the language in the statute says "contested claim" and not "denied claim." Therefore, I disagree that medical legal can not occur until the claim is denied.

A delayed case is undetermined and is not "contested" as liability is neither accepted or denied. I'd love to test the issue at the Board.
