How Do I Know My Claim Has Been Denied?

When you file a workers’ compensation claim following an on-the-job injury, your employer has 21 days to deny or accept the claim. If your claim has been denied, your employer will provide you with a Notice of Workers’ Compensation Denial in addition to sending a copy of the denial to the Workers’ Compensation Board. Once you receive this notice in the mail, it should include information on how to appeal the claim.

Why Are Workers’ Comp Claims Denied?

Workers’ compensation denials are actually relatively common. Many initial claims are denied but are later approved once errors are corrected or additional evidence is provided. Because we have extensive experience with workers’ compensation claims and appeals in Schuylkill County, Northumberland County, and throughout Pennsylvania, our attorneys can accurately determine the reason for a denial and devise a strategy to seek a positive result.

Workers’ comp claims may be denied because:

• A worker waited too long to report the injury to his/her employer.
• The employer alleges that the injury is not work-related.
• The employer or workers’ comp insurance company alleges the injury stemmed from a pre-existing condition or previous injury.
• The workers’ comp insurance company alleges fraud on the part of the injured worker.

While you can tackle the appeals process on your own, working with an attorney can give you an edge that will make it more likely for your claim to be accepted the second time around. If you are unsure whether you would like to enlist legal help, consulting with a workers’ compensation denial lawyer near you is a great way to determine whether you would benefit from representation.
