Why Was Your Claim Denied?

In Georgia, you have the right to know why your workers' compensation claim was denied. A rationale for the denial should accompany your denial letter, and this denial letter is the essential starting place for an appeal. Common reasons why claims are denied include:

Claim not filed in a timely fashion
No medical treatment or documentation of treatment
Insufficient documentation of your injury with your employer or authorized doctors
Doctor improperly diagnosed injury
Employer claims injury did not happen at work
Employer claims injury was pre-existing

In most cases, these reasons for denial can be overcome.

Get a Lawyer's Help

You may have thought you could file a successful workers' compensation claim on your own, but if you have been denied it is time to consult with a lawyer. Your employer may have encouraged you not to get a lawyer and may have been helpful, but in the end insurance companies are insurance companies and their profits depend on denying claims, sometimes for very trivial reasons.

A workers' compensation lawyer knows how to make sure everything is in order for your workers' compensation claim to be accepted. We can remove all impediments and give an insurance company no excuse to deny your valid claim.
