What to Do When Your Workers Comp Claim is Denied
When you've experienced an injury while working, you know that it can massively impact the trajectory of your life. A physical injury can make it challenging to perform your daily responsibilities, drain your finances as you miss work, and slow down your ability to return to work promptly. For many workers, a work injury might mean being out of work for an indefinite time while you undergo surgeries, physical therapy, or rest until your mobility is restored. This can drastically alter your financial situation and even place you into debt with mounting medical bills and no income. For many workers, worker's compensation can help your finances recoup and allow you to recover in peace. However, if your worker's comp claim is denied, you might be wondering what went wrong and if you have any rights moving forward.
Talk to Your Lawyer When Your Workers Comp Claim is Denied
First, it's important to not immediately react when your workers' comp claim is denied. You may feel hopeless, angry, confused, and taken by surprise. You might want to directly call your job and yell at them, searching for someone to blame. You might even be tempted to call the insurance company and yell at them, too. However, it's essential to stay calm when your workers' comp claim is denied. Instead, reach out to your legal team for legal assistance. Shultz Legal can work with you to understand why your workers' comp claim was denied and help you pursue additional options to help you collect benefits.

In other instances, an employer or the insurance company might need to pen out more time to investigate your workers' comp claim. Whatever the reason was, you still need to explore your available options with Shultz Legal.
