There are several reasons why the insurer might choose to deny your claim, including:
The belief that your injury was self-inflicted or was caused by illegal behavior, such as being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The belief that your injury was pre-existing or that it didn’t happen at work, or that the illness you acquired was not occupational.
If you fail to notify your employer of your injury or illness within the required time period.
There were no witnesses to your injury who can verify that it occurred at work.
