Employers and their insurance companies can often deny your claim outright or deny certain medical treatment requests or disability benefits. Some common reasons why an employer may deny a workers’ compensation claim are:

1) the worker was not an employee of the company at the time of injury

2) the injury was not due to work

3) untimely reporting of an injury

4) lack of medical records to support a work-related injury.

Other times, even though a claim is accepted, an employer may deny temporary disability benefits if it dispute’s the injured worker’s disability status. Another instance where an employer may issue a denial is in response to a request for medical treatment.
