  1. Some Reasons Your Workers Compensation Got Denied

  2. After suffering an injury at work, you may be entitled to receive certain benefits. These benefits will help you with your medical bills, and help you move on. If you lost wages due to the inability to work, you may recover them. All you have to do is report the injury to your superiors as quickly as you can, and ask your employer for help in filing a workers compensation claim. At the same time, consult with your attorneys about everything. However, there are a few reasons that may impact your claim; here are a few main reasons why your claim may get denied.

  3. Injury Happened Outside of Workplace To be eligible to receive workers compensation benefits, you have to be able to prove that your injury happened at the workplace. Without proper evidence, it will be hard convincing the insurance company to provide you with any benefits. As far as they are concerned, you are just another one trying to obtain workers comp benefits.

  4. You Failed to Notify Your Superiors Every state has a time limit within which you have to let your superiors know of the accident. In California, you have 30 days to do so; failure to provide your superiors with that information will result in your claim getting denied by the Board.

  5. You Were Drunk If you were intoxicated at the time of the accident, your claim may get immediately denied. Keep in mind that you are NOT entitled to any workers compensation benefits if you got injured while being intoxicated. If either alcohol or drugs are found in your system, your claim will be disregarded.

  6. You Visited Your Own Doctor To be eligible to seek compensation for a work-related injury, you have to visit the appointed doctor. If you do not know which ones you can visit, speak with your employer right after getting injured. It is important to go to the appointed doctor, as only then will your medical bills be fully covered by the work comp benefits. Visiting any other doctor will result in you having to pay for your medical bills on your own.

  7. If you do not have an attorney, contact the Law Offices of Kropach & Kropach and ask to speak with Los Angeles workers compensation attorneys, schedule a free consultation and you will learn everything about your eligibility to obtain work comp benefits, and a lot more.
