denied WORKERS' 
COMPENSATION claims

Per California law, almost every individual injured at work is entitled to worker’s compensation benefits. These benefits can help alleviate the financial burdens associated with a serve injury. Unfortunately, an employer or insurance carrier may deny a legitimate claim.

If you received a letter informing you that your workers’ compensation claim was denied and you are in need of medical care, please do not wait to contact a lawyer in San Diego at the Mitchell Law Corporation. The sooner you contact our firm, the sooner we can contest the denial of your claim and get you the funds you need for medical expenses and lost wages.

Workers’ compensation claims can be denied for a number of reasons. The most common reasons for an employer or insurance company to deny a claim are:

• Your injury did not occur while at work or while performing your job duties
• Where your injury occurred and when it happened is in question
• Your injury was caused by a preexisting condition or injury
• A health care professional determined that you were not disabled as a result of a work-related injury
• Whether or not you sustained an injury is being disputed

Regardless of what the reason was for having your claim denied, if you try to challenge the decision on your own, it is unlikely you will obtain a different outcome.
