If your employer, or its insurer, denies your workers’ comp claim, you have the right to challenge the decision. In most states, appeals are heard by a workers’ compensation board or an administrative law judge. If you and the insurance company are unable to resolve the dispute informally, a hearing will take place and the deciding authority will make its determination. A workers’ compensation attorney in your area can review your denial and discuss the options available to you.
Workers' compensation is a state-mandated insurance program that provides benefits to employees who have work-related injuries or illnesses. In most states, employers purchase workers’ comp insurance through private insurance companies, which then review and payout claims. In a few states, employers are insured through the state workers’ compensation board, which administers and pays out claims. Depending on whether you have a permanent disability and what type of work you can do, you might be entitled to permanent disability payments. A local workers’ compensation attorney can help you understand what type of benefits you can receive.
Workers’ compensation insurance covers all types of work-related physical injuries. Emotional and stress-related injuries might also be covered, provided they occur in the course of employment and arise out of employment. Your work-related injury will typically be covered even if it was caused by your own carelessness. A local workers’ compensation attorney can provide more information about the workers’ compensation laws in your state.
