If your workers’ compensation claim was initially rejected, do not give up your right to benefits. First, carefully examine the letter informing you that your claim has been denied. It will very certainly include the grounds for the rejection. If you believe the problem was caused by erroneous documentation or something similar, you should contact the claims adjuster to see if you can resolve the issue. However, unless your employer or the insurance provider committed a genuine error and admitted it, this path is unlikely to succeed. You’ll almost certainly have to consider appealing the denial. Some workers’ compensation claims are, of course, legitimately dismissed. Employees who fake or grossly exaggerate their ailments will not be eligible for benefits. Employees who were inebriated at the time of the accident and injuries may also be properly denied workers’ compensation benefits.
