What's a person to do once a workers reparation claim is rejected?

Employees compensation originally appeared so as to protect employees who were injured while doing their job. This sort of claim is a 'no rubbish, no blame ' payout and is handled by the insurance carrier for the company usually inside a timeframe of 72 hours. Claims are by all desire and purpose straight forward, and do not require the service of a team of workers compensation lawyers Riverside .

However there are times when a worker may have to call upon an attorney and one such time is when a legit claim appears to have been denied. So with this under consideration, how can an attorney help?

Employees comp review board

There are some times when what an employee believes is a legitimate workers comp claim has been declined and in this instance claims can be disputed. In most circumstances a questioned claim needs to be reviewed by the employees compensation review board, who make their last call based upon the facts presented to them. This can be quite daunting for an employee who hasn't had to experience this before and this is when a very talented team of Riverside workers comp attorneys can step in to represent you, and to prep your case.

Disputed claims by employers

In a perfect world, upon the event of an accident, a compensation claim should be filed by the injured person and passed as quickly as possible to the employer. The employer should then pass it to the insurance carrier, who will make the required payments based on the info given. In some cases but the filed claim never gets to the insurance carrier. This should be because of a number of reasons as follows:

Not kept up premium payments

In California State, it is law that each company owner who employs one or more personnel has to carry workers compensation insurance. This is a 'necessary evil ' for bosses and can work out rather expensive. Some devious companies will try and cut corners by not keeping up premium payments on their insurance and thus letting the compensation cover lapse. For that reason they wouldn't require the claim to be passed. If you suspect this might be the case with your employer, then a Riverside County workers compensation lawyer can research.
