Workers’ Compensation Denied Claims

Each year, many workers’ compensation claims are denied. When this happens, injured workers go without financial recovery and sometimes don’t receive the medical care they need.

Worker’s compensation benefits are denied for a variety of reasons. Following are some common reasons your workers’ compensation claim may have been denied:

• Your injury was caused by a preexisting injury or condition
• Your injury did not occur while performing your job
• A so called independent medical evaluator or doctor hired by the insurance company concluded you were not hurt or disabled as a result of your work injury
• Dispute as to when or where the injury occurred
• Dispute about whether you sustained injuries at all

If your claim is denied, you will receive a letter indicating why your claim did not qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. You can challenge the decision on your own, requesting that the insurance company reconsider its decision. A different result is unlikely, unless you are able to provide more information such as additional medical evidence.
