Common Reasons Workers' Comp Claims Are Denied
- You waited too long to file. The law requires that you report claims immediately, otherwise it can be easier for your employer to dispute that the injury even happened at work.
- Not enough medical evidence. You must provide medical documentation that shows the severity of your injury by a qualified doctor.
- Did not receive medical treatment. Once you see a doctor, you must continue to receive the treatment in order to show the necessity of benefits.
- WE CAN OVERTURN A DENIAL FOR ANY ONE OF THESE REASONS
