Claim Denials
Dealing With Denied Claims
When you get injured on the job, you might assume you can readily get coverage through workers’ compensation. However, the reality is that many claims get wrongly denied. A claim denial adds another layer of stress to an already stressful situation, leaving you wondering how to move forward and where to turn for help.
The solution can be found at our law firm. At Milavetz Injury Law, P.A., we can assist you in appealing your claim denial, working hard to turn your case around.
Why Was My Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied?
Common reasons include:
- Improper documentation or reports. Both you and your employer are required to file detailed reports offering information and insight into the incident that led to the work-related injury. This process can be both tedious and time consuming, and it is also very confusing for workers who are just trying to get the compensation that they need. Insurance companies can be extremely picky when processing these reports and are known for denying claims based on small mistakes or inadvertent omissions.
- Disputes over your level of disability. There are standards in place to define work-related disabilities, and many times, the insurance company or the employer will try to say that your injury does not meet these standards.
- Injury disputes. In some instances, either the insurance company or the employer will try to argue that the injury is not the result of a workplace accident or workplace conditions. Therefore, it is critical that you document the incident that led to your injury, and that you have evidence to support your claim.
What Step Should I Take Next?
