When an employee is injured on the job, they are entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits, which include a fixed weekly wage and medical care and rehabilitation treatment.

Reasons for Denied Workers’ Comp Claims
There are a number of reasons why a workers’ compensation claim can be denied. For instance, if the employee was engaged in willful misconduct, they may not be eligible for benefits. Additionally, if the accident occurred when the employee was leaving work, the employee may have their workers’ compensation claim denied. Workers’ compensation claims can also be denied because the insurance company believes that:
- The worker’s injuries were non-catastrophic
- The injuries occurred outside of work
- The employee can work, despite their injuries
