What reasons would someone have for not awarding me workers’ compensation benefits? 

There may be a couple of reasons that your employer or their insurance company may have for choosing not to give you the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve. 

• Your employer or the insurance company does not believe you were injured or that you were making the injury up. 
• There is a question as to whether your injury happened while you were working or whether you were made ill outside of work. 
• You were injured while you were working but they believe that you may have been under the influence of alcohol or abusing drugs. 

Will I be notified of why my claim was denied? 

When the insurance company denies your workers’ compensation claim, they should send you a letter outlining why they denied it. Your workers’ compensation attorney Brooklyn offers can go over your letter and begin coming up with a way to appeal your denied claim.

Will a doctor’s word help to serve as evidence for my claim? 

The most important thing you can do after getting injured on the job is to seek medical treatment. While you may not have the option of who you see immediately following the accident (because your injuries may be so serious you go to the first doctor available), many employers will ask you to be seen by certain doctors to have your injuries assessed. Speak with your attorney if you are unsure of which doctor to go to.
