Workers' Compensation Attorney Handling Denials

Workers' Comp Denials

When a worker is injured in a work related accident, there are certain criteria that must be met in order to receive benefits.  Texas law provides that anyone that is injured who is an employee and was performing the duties of their employment qualify for benefits as long as it did not fall under the exceptions of horseplay, self inflicted injuries, injuries sustained in a fight where the claimant was the aggressor and a few others. 

It can occur that your claim for benefits is denied for certain reasons.  Your employer may have information to the effect that your injury was not work related, or you were not really injured, or even because you failed to report your injury right away.  When you are facing a denial of benefits, it is important to obtain the advice of a qualified workers' compensation attorney who knows the exact procedures and laws involved in workers' compensation claims and can aggressively represent you.

The Texas workers' compensation system can be difficult to understand without some knowledge of the complex laws governing this area of the law.  The workers' comp insurance companies have highly trained staff that represent the employer, not you, when it comes to how they will handle your injury claim.  If you find that you have been denied compensation for some reason, our skilled lawyers can provide the legal expertise you will need to protect your rights.

To fight a denial, our legal staff will appeal your claim denial by requesting reinstatement of benefits after a discontinuation and pursue a hearing at the BRC.  The Malaise Law Firm will work to protect your worker's comp rights by thoroughly investigating the facts of your accident.  There may be additional legal filings and hearings before administrative boards to attend in order to fight against a denial of benefits, and without a skilled representative to assist you, your chances of winning against the system are small.
