Why workers’ comp claims get denied
Insurers deny claims over late reporting, disputed medical opinions, or questions about whether the injury happened at work. A denial is not the final word: you can object and ask a judge to decide.

Review the denial letter
We identify the stated reason and the deadline that applies.
Step 2
Gather medical evidence
We obtain records and, when needed, a qualified medical evaluation.
Step 3
File and argue the case
We file with the WCAB and represent you at hearings.
Denied claim questions
How soon do I have to report a work injury?
Report it to your employer as soon as possible, and within 30 days. Waiting can put your benefits at risk.
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim?
California law prohibits retaliation for filing a claim. Talk to a lawyer if you were disciplined or let go after reporting an injury.
How much does a workers’ comp lawyer cost?
Workers’ comp attorney fees are set by the court and paid from your award, so there is nothing to pay up front.
