Being denied workers’ compensation benefits can be devastating, especially if you were relying on that compensation to help you pay bills and get medical care while you are not working.
Unfortunately, an employer can deny a Workers’ Compensation claim for any reason, even if it is not a good reason. There is no penalty for an employer to deny a claim, even if they realize the claim should be paid. The reasoning seems to be that if 100 claims are denied, and two people get an attorney, then they will pay those two people. Make sure you are one of the people who gets paid!

There could be a variety of reasons your workers’ compensation claim was denied, but denials most commonly happen because of the following:
