Legal Help When You Are Denied Workers Compensation

Were you hurt on the job? Have you been unable to pay the medical bills that accrued while you were out of work because a workers’ compensation claim was denied? Have you racked up bills and lost wages? Help is available. South Carolina’s worker compensation laws give you rights when you have been injured at work.

Advocating for you, the workers’ compensation attorneys at CFJ Injury Lawyers have more than 30 years of experience helping people in situations just like yours. If your worker’s compensation claim has been denied, you have the right to appeal under South Carolina law. Before you file your appeal, it’s imperative to know why your claim may have been denied in the first place. Here are some of the common reasons that compensation is denied:

• An injury sustained at work is not always classified as a work-related injury. Evidence will be needed to support the claim.
• The claim was not filed within the required time frame as dictated by state law.
• The injury may not be legitimate or is a pre-existing condition.
• The injury may not be serious enough to prevent the person from working.
• The claim was denied outright as stalling tactic.
