Workers’ Compensation insurance companies will deny claims for a number of reasons, however they fall into a several categories.
You did not notify your employer of your injury. Make sure that you tell your supervisor right away and file an accident report.
You waited to long for medical treatment. Go to the doctor as soon as possible and get your treatment.
You have a pre-existing condition that became worse but not because of work. Do you have a defined injury that made things worse?
You got hurt somewhere other than work. This why reporting your accident right away is so important.
Make sure that you contact an experienced Illinois Workers’ Compensation Attorney right away if you are denied.
