Why Workers’ Compensation Claims Are Denied

It’s not uncommon for workers’ compensation claims to be denied for various reasons. Some of the most common include missed filing deadlines, insufficient medical documentation, and disputes from employers or their insurance companies.

These denials often discourage employees, but it’s important to remember that this is just the beginning of the process. A denial does not mean you are not entitled to benefits—it simply means you’ll need to take additional steps through the appeals process.

The Workers’ Compensation Appeals Process in California

The workers’ compensation appeals process in California is designed to give injured workers a second chance to secure the benefits they deserve. The first step is typically filing for reconsideration or requesting a hearing through the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB). During this process, a judge reviews your case and hears arguments from both sides. If the decision remains unfavorable, further recourse may include judicial review through California's courts.

Each stage of the appeals process involves strict timelines and detailed paperwork, which can be overwhelming without legal guidance. Properly presenting medical evidence, addressing disputes, and navigating procedural requirements are crucial for a successful appeal. Having an experienced workers’ compensation attorney on your side can significantly improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
