When Your Claim is Denied
Was Your Workers' Compensation Claim Denied? YOU HAVE OPTIONS!
At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., we know all the ways the law applies to workplace injury cases. We will not be put off by a complicated claims process. Contact our offices right away to discuss your situation.
Typically, an employee injured on the job reports the injury to a supervisor or manager, which begins the claims process. Sometimes the workers' compensation insurance carrier may look for any reason to deny or reject a claim. We know the law — and we know your rights. Don't give up if your claim is denied!
The following are some common reasons an insurance carrier might deny a claim:
- A treating physician says the insured worker can return to work before he or she is physically able to do so.
- The employer disputes the claim by arguing that the injury was not job related or that the claim was never reported.
- The insurance adjuster may argue that the injury did not occur on the job.
Insurance carriers may use other reasons to deny your claim. You have options. You may request a hearing with the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission. It's highly advisable to speak with an attorney if your employer or the insurance company is not cooperating with you. At Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A., an experienced workers' compensation attorney can help you pursue the benefits you deserve.
What Happens at Hearing When Claim is Denied?
The Commission will hear both sides and consider evidence, including records and witness testimony. The Commission then will make a determination.
