Denied Claims

Unfortunately, being injured while on the job does not guarantee a workers’ compensation claim or a successful resolution. There are many circumstances where an injury or accident at work will not result a workers’ compensation settlement or payment. Not all employees file claims when they are injured at work, but even those claims that are filed are not always accepted.

Unfortunately, the reason that many workers’ compensation claims are denied is poor legal counsel or an inexperienced lawyer working for the injured employee. Most employers do not want to make any payments that they do not absolutely have to make, so they will find any way around the claims that they can by using the best legal team they can assemble.

Some claims are denied for other reasons as well. Other pre-existing conditions, no medical treatment required for the injury, or a lack of medical documentation are all grounds for denial of a workers’ compensation claim. It is very important to document any medical care or diagnosis that you receive after being injured at work because that will be a key part in obtaining the compensation that you deserve.
