Reasons You Might Get a Workers' Compensation Denial

Insurance companies use several tactics to deny or reduce the benefits people get from workers’ compensation. Any of these situations can lead to a workers’ compensation denial:

If your employer disputes that your injury occurred at work
If your employer has witnesses who question how your accident happened
If your injury, such as straining a body part, isn’t easy for others to see
If your employer thinks your injury was a preexisting condition
If you refuse or fail a drug test
If your employer thinks you’re lying about your injury
If the insurance company attempts to award you partial benefits

We’ve seen all of these situations at our workers’ compensation law firm. And we know how to address each one. Even if your benefits were denied because you failed a drug test, you can dispute the validity of the test. Don’t give up just because of a drug test. We have years of experience pushing back on behalf of hardworking Louisianians.

Moves You Can Make to Fight a Workers' Compensation Benefits Denial

When the workers’ comp system is working against you, don’t give up.

Many Louisiana workers don’t understand their rights under workers’ comp and don’t know everything they’re supposed to be getting.

Instead of accepting that you can’t get anything more, you should know that these steps can make a difference:

Make sure your employer actually started your claim with the workers’ comp insurance company.
Negotiate with the insurance company over the benefits you should be getting.
Argue that your drug test results weren’t timely, relevant, or accurate.
Take your claim to a hearing with a workers’ compensation judge in workers’ comp court.
Take your claim to the court system outside of workers’ comp.

Workers’ comp hearings are like trials, which include gathering evidence, getting additional opinions from doctors, filing documents, making arguments, and questioning witnesses.

It’s an entirely separate legal system created under the Louisiana Workers’ Compensation Act.

You want a lawyer with extensive experience in this system.
