Will my workers’ comp claim be denied if I don’t report it?Answer:
I was recently asked if a claim be denied if the worker didn’t report the injury. The general answer is yes, an employer will deny a claim if the claim was not reported while at work.
If you’ve been injured at work, but you haven’t reported the claim yet, it’s important for you to report the claim as soon as possible even if time has gone by.
The earlier that you report the injury, the easier it will be for an attorney to show that the injury was caused at work and that the employer should be liable for the injury. If you have any questions as to whether or not your claims can be denied or reporting a claim, feel free to give us a call. I’d be happy to answer any of your questions.
