Was Your Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied? You Still Have Options

Being injured at work is stressful enough—but receiving a denial for your workers’ compensation claim can make things even worse. If your claim was denied, that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road. You still have the right to appeal and fight for the benefits you deserve. At Scott M. Blumen, Attorney at Law, APC, we help injured workers in San Diego challenge denied workers’ compensation claims and navigate the appeals process with confidence.

Why Workers’ Compensation Claims Are Denied

Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons—some valid, others not. Often, denials are based on incomplete paperwork or disputes about the cause of the injury. Common reasons for claim denials include:

  • Missed deadlines for reporting or filing
  • Employer disputes that the injury is work-related
  • Lack of sufficient medical documentation
  • Pre-existing conditions blamed for the injury
  • Failure to seek treatment from an approved medical provider
  • Claim filed after quitting or being terminated

While some denials are procedural, many are based on arguments that can be challenged with proper legal support.
