Workers' Compensation Appeals
If your claim was denied, that does not mean you should give up. Our attorneys are often able to identify the problem with the claim and help you correct it. In many cases, the reason for the denial can be resolved by providing the correct information and medical reports.
There are numerous reasons why a workers' compensation claim may be denied. Some of the denials we see most often include:
- Employer says the employee was playing around, drunk or on drugs
- Insurance company says employee has a pre-existing condition
- Lack of causal relationship between injury and accident
- Denying that the accident happened
- Failure to notify employer of accident within the proper timeframe
If the company denied your claim without a valid reason, we may be able to help you move your claim forward. Please call our office at 614-360-2637 or 888-899-3586 to schedule an appointment with a Columbus workers' compensation denied claim lawyer. Your consultation is free.
