Denver Workers' Comp Denial Lawyer
Has your workers' comp claim been denied?
Many employees are under the assumption that they will be fully protected in the case of an injury or accident in the workplace. They believe they do not have to worry, as their "workers' comp will take care of it." In the state of Colorado, though you are entitled to workers' comp benefits as part of a no fault system, you are limited to the amount adjudicated to you through that system. You may also find that your claim is denied for various reasons, when disputes arise with your employer and their workers' compensation insurance company. Who is going to fight for you and your rights? An experienced Denver workers' compensation lawyer from Anderson, Hemmat, and Levine, LLC is committed to representing workers' comp claim denials for loyal and dedicated employees like you.
Reasons why your claim may be denied
There are a number of reasons why your claim may be denied. These include:
- The injury was caused by a pre-existing condition
- You did not receive medical treatment for the injury, so there is no documentation for your claim
- The injury was not a severe one
- The injury happened outside of the workplace
- You filed your claim too late
- You violated company policy/rules
No matter what the reason for your workers' comp claim being denied, a Denver workers' comp claim attorney has the expertise needed to maneuver through the worker's comp system's processes and procedures to help you fight for your rights to compensation. Having the support of skilled legal counsel can bring about a better outcome when appealing a denial of a valid claim.
