When injured workers file claims for workers’ compensation benefits, the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance company may investigate the claim. This investigation may include an examination of the medical report and other details related to the injury.

The insurance company may also hire investigators to ensure that the worker is in fact injured and complying with their doctors orders. If the insurance company finds evidence to reject the workers’ compensation claim, then the injured employee may need to take legal action to receive workers’ compensation benefits.
