    Two Possible Reasons Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Was Denied

    If you’ve been injured at work and your workers’ compensation claim was denied, it may be important that you reach out to a Fort Lauderdale work injury lawyer. Contacting a work injury lawyer in Fort Lauderdale increases your chances of getting the benefits you need, even if your claim has been denied. One of the first steps in getting benefits is determining why your claim was denied in the first place.

    Denied Due to Documentation

    Your workers’ compensation insurer needs to see a lot of documentation about your injury. This includes medical records and proof that the injury was work-related. You may think that you have enough evidence to file your claim, only to be denied.

    Claims are more often denied than not, which is why it’s important to work with a Fort Lauderdale work injury lawyer who has experience in filing claims, and knows what the insurance agency is looking for. An experienced work injury lawyer Fort Lauderdale trusts may help you prepare your case and submit your claim so you have the best chance of receiving benefits.

    Denied Due to Insurance Fraud

    You claim could have been denied due to insurance fraud. You may be thinking that nothing about your claim was fraudulent, but it doesn’t matter. Insurance fraud committed by others makes insurers very careful of their claims approval process.

    No matter how legitimate your claim is, it may be met with suspicion from the beginning because insurance companies don’t make money when they have to pay it out. If anything looks the slightest bit off, your claim can be denied. Work with a Fort Lauderdale work injury lawyer from the beginning to create the most legitimate case possible.

    What Do You Do If Your Claim is Denied?

    If your claim is denied, you have two options: accept the decision and get no benefits, or appeal it and hope they overturn their decision and award your benefits. Since you will likely choose to appeal the decision in hopes of getting the benefits that you need to support yourself while you recover, you may need to have an experienced Fort Lauderdale work injury lawyer on your side.

    A work injury lawyer in Fort Lauderdale may help you gather the documentation that you need to appeal the decision. An experienced attorney may know the legal requirements and how the insurance companies work, so you may have a much better chance of getting an appeal when you work with a lawyer.

    One of the most important things about appealing a workers’ compensation denial is that you should do it quickly. There is a limited amount of time in which you can file the appeal, so your best choice may be to appeal as soon as possible once you have your documentation together. An experienced lawyer can gather the documents and move the appeal forward quicker than you’d be able to do alone.

    My husband was hurt and never dealt with an attorney before. He looked up attorneys online & thru the grace of God got Lissa Dorsey as his attorney & she was truly amazing! She was very involved, always returned our phone calls & made the whole process as easy for us as she possibly could while my husband treated with Dr's and started his healing process. I would recommend her to any & everyone without a doubt.
