Denial of Worker Compensation Claims
Denial of Legitimate Claims For Workers Compensation Benefits
Legitimate
claims for workers compensation benefits are often denied. From
the standpoint of the injured worker, such a denial can be devastating.
The
denial of legitimate benefits impacts the worker and the worker's
family very deeply. Benefit denials are frustrating and discouraging
to say the least. Far too often, benefit denial leads to further
psychological, financial and family stress. Family crisis, bankruptcy
and divorce are all very common in these situations because the
injured worker is unable to make a living and the entire family
structure suffers.
There
are numerous reasons why a legitimate claim may be denied. Some
common reasons include:
1.
Preexisting injury claims. Indeed, Workers Compensation claims
can be much more complicated and involved when the nature of your
work injury involves the aggravation of a condition that you already
had.
2.
There may be a lack of witnesses to your accident which opens
the door to the employer or the insurer trying to claim that the
injury did not occur at the workplace.
3.
You may have been tardy in reporting your injury to your employer.
This is complicated especially when the nature of the injury can
sometimes arise over a long period of time, for example, with
repetitive use type injuries or the seriousness of your injury
may not manifest itself immediately at the time of the accident.
There
are many other reason why your claim can be denied. It is no secret
that the Workers Compensation system can be very unfair and frustrating
to the injured worker. That is why you need experienced legal
counsel to handle your claim. When you file a claim yourself,
you are putting yourself up against powerful insurance companies
who have the ability to hire teams of lawyers if necessary. You
are entering the arena when you are injured and under other ancillary
stress. This is not the time to "go it alone."
