Disputed Workers’ Compensation Claim

Answer:

A question that I get often here at the office either on a weekly or sometimes on a daily basis is whether an employer can deny a Workers’ Compensation under California law. The reality is the employer always has the ability to deny your claim. They can deny your claim even though your supervisor saw that you got injured. They can deny your claim even though your supervisor assisted you in filling out the Workers’ Compensation form or actually drove you to the hospital. It’s always in the employer’s right to deny your claim. If you’ve been injured at work and your employer is denying your claim, it’s important for you to understand that you have rights and that you have the right to establish that you in fact got injured at work and that your claim should be accepted under Workers’ Compensation in California. If you’ve been injured at work and you have any questions regarding this process that you’re about to go through, feel free to give me a call. I’m happy to answer any questions that you may have.
