If your workers’ compensation claim was denied, review the denial letter to understand the reason and contact a workers’ comp attorney immediately. A lawyer can help you gather medical evidence and file an appeal to protect your benefits.

Claims are often denied due to missing medical documentation, delayed reporting, employer disputes, or insurance companies claiming the injury was not work-related. An attorney can challenge these arguments.

If your claim is denied, you may be billed directly by medical providers. However, if your claim is later approved or you win on appeal, those bills are typically covered by workers’ compensation. A lawyer can help stop collections and fast-track approvals.

To win a hearing, you need strong medical evidence, accurate documentation, work injury proof, and often expert testimony. A workers’ compensation attorney presents your case to the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board judge.

Yes. An employee may refuse workers’ compensation, but doing so may prevent recovery of medical treatment and wage benefits. Before refusing, speak with a lawyer to understand the consequences.

An employer may try to deny the claim, but they cannot legally refuse to provide claim forms or stop you from filing. If they do, that may be considered employer retaliation.

In most cases, workers’ comp replaces the right to sue your employer. However, if your employer intentionally caused your injury or retaliated against you, you may have the right to pursue a separate legal claim.

You can appeal by filing an Application for Adjudication of Claim and requesting a hearing before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. A workers’ comp attorney can handle the appeal and represent you in court.
