5 Ways My Workers' Compensation Claim Could Be Denied

When you're injured on the job and you file a Georgia Workers' Compensation claim, be careful - small errors in your application may lead to big trouble with your claim in Marietta or Hiram. A work injury lawyer can help you rectify the damage, but try to avoid these costly mistakes from the get-go:

Failing to file your Workers' Comp claim in a timely fashion - all claims should be reported immediately, and in no event should it be reported more than 30 days after the injury;
Lack of medical treatment or lack of documentation to prove treatment;
Not gathering witness testimonies and/or medical records - in the event that your employer claims the injuries were pre-existing or that the accident didn't happen at work;
Improper diagnosis of the injury by the doctor; and
Insufficient documentation of your injury provided to your employer or authorized medical care providers.

While sometimes the Georgia Workers' Compensation claim process can be handled without a lawyer, if your claim has been denied, then it's time to consult a professional. After you suffer a work injury in Hiram, your work injury lawyer can request a hearing after your denial and he or she can compile the facts of your injury in order to present a clear, compelling case that removes all obstacles to approving your claim.
