If a workers’ compensation insurance carrier denies your claim, your attorney can assist you in determining the cause of the denial. If an injured worker caused their own injury due to a failure to abide by a company policy, this could result in the insurance company denying their claim. Likewise, a claim can be denied if the injured worker caused their own injury due to working under the influence of drugs or alcohol or some other egregious breach of workplace safety regulations. Your attorney can advise you as to your best options if you bear any fault for causing your workplace injury.
