Title: The Reason Why an Employer Refuses Workers Compensation Benefits


1
THE REASON WHY AN EMPLOYER REFUSES WORKERS
COMPENSATION BENEFITS
  • Nothing comes for free. Everything has a cost. If
    its free for you, it will be an expense for
    another. The same stands for workers
    compensation benefits. While most employers
    provide workers compensation benefits to their
    employees, they sometimes create a dispute. The
    one big reason for that is money. It is an
    expense for the employer.

2
High Insurance Premium Costs
  • As premium costs go high, so do the costs for
    employers. The insurance premium goes
    significantly high when there are more workers
    compensation claims than expected or forecasted.
    Also, in case there is an expensive claim such as
    a surgery for a certain worker that can make the
    insurance premium skyrocket high. Therefore,
    insurance companies and employers keep a constant
    check on the activities of the claimant and find
    ways to create dispute until solid proof is
    given. This is done to avoid paying high
    premiums.

3
Employer Prejudice
  • Some employers, in order to keep away from paying
    hefty amounts in workers compensation claims try
    to deny the workers benefits. They presume that
    the worker is exaggerating or telling half truths
    about their condition. Employer prejudice is most
    common in cases where the claimant files for
    injuries that are hard to prove, such as internal
    injuries, extreme muscular pains, depression due
    to work environments, etc. They dispute the claim
    for financial benefits and to avoid paying hefty
    amounts in compensation.

Common Reasons an Employer Denies Claim
  • In case your employer or insurance company
    creates a dispute in providing you your rightful
    workers compensation, it is important that you
    receive so in black and white. Here are some of
    the most common reasons for denial of a claim
    that employers give to workers
  • The injury you sustained was not serious/severe.
  • The injury didnt take place during work, or
    within the work environment.
  • You dont require medical treatment or
    consultation for this injury.
  • You dont need to take leave for this injury

How to Fight a Denial of Claim
  • The first thing to do after you find out that
    your claim has been denied is to write to the
    insurance company that your employer is
    associated with. In case youre still denied the
    claim, its pivotal to hire a work injury lawyer
    who can assist you with filing a lawsuit.
  • In such a case, it is important for employees to
    fight for the benefits they are entitled to by
    law. Also, it is important that the employee
    doesnt feel guilty for filing a lawsuit against
    the employer for denying the benefits. The
    employer is legally entitled to receive time off
    work, medical and other benefits in case of a
    work injury. Therefore, a work injury lawyer in
    PA can help you get through to the entire process
    and reach a successful end to the claim to ensure
    you receive your rightful benefits.
