Denied Workers' Compensation Claims
Understanding Denied Claims and Your Rights

Common Reasons for Denied Claims
There are various reasons why workers' compensation claims get denied. Understanding these reasons can help you build a strong case to overturn the denial. Some common reasons for denial include:
- Lack of timely reporting: Failing to report the injury to your employer within the required timeframe may lead to a denied claim.
- Pre-existing conditions: Insurers may argue that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition and not the result of a workplace incident.
- Insufficient medical evidence: Providing detailed medical records and documentation is essential to support your claim.
- Dispute over the cause of injury: Employers or insurers may dispute whether the injury occurred while performing work-related duties.
- Missed deadlines: Missing important deadlines during the claims process can result in claim denial.
