Am I out of luck if my workers’ compensation claim has been denied?
Short answer: No.
It is hard to hear that your workers’ compensation claim has been denied when you are in pain and attempting to recover. Not only have you been dealing with doctors and directions for healing, but now you have to deal with the devastating news that insurance will not be helping you with the financial struggle of being sick or injured. This seems unfair, and it isn’t, but it doesn’t mean you don’t have options. It means that you need a strong advocate who aggressively acts on your behalf. Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys at JML Law, a Professional Law Corporation, have a remarkable track record of success for our clients. We believe in a method where we listen and tactfully structure a response to what the insurance company is telling you. We know that insurance companies are just like any other business. We aren’t up to taking no for an answer and will do all we can to get the fair compensation you deserve.
Since insurance companies are a business, they are looking out for their bottom line. Billions of dollars are spent each year to provide financial help for those injured on the job. The insurance companies know that money will be spent, but they will ensure that no more money is given as needed. This means they will if they can find a reason to deny a claim. Again, is this fair? No. Instead, it is an attempt to take more time and stress from your life to fight this denied claim. Don’t go to this fight alone. Our Workers’ Compensation Attorneys at JML Law, a Professional Law Corporation in Los Angeles, are ready to fight for you.
What To Expect
California has a 30-day expiration date on when you can file a claim. This can be convoluted when it comes to injuries that don’t necessarily show symptoms right away. For example, back and neck injuries can progressively worsen but may not show symptoms within 30 days. Injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome or heel spurs may also not have a specific point starting date, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot include them in a claim.
Another reason why claims are denied is because your original attorney failed you. If that is the case, then getting new representation can be the difference between dealing with medical debt forever or getting financial help. Over 70% of denied claims have been overturned, and 50% more was given to the claim. Our Los Angeles Workers’ Compensation Attorneys are all too familiar with the workers’ compensation process, and we are dedicated to getting you the compensation necessary for your situation.
