High Insurance Premium Costs

As premium costs go high, so do the costs for employers. The insurance

premium goes significantly high when there are more workers

compensation claims than expected or forecasted. Also, in case there is an expensive claim such as a surgery for a certain worker that can

make the insurance premium skyrocket high. Therefore, insurance

companies and employers keep a constant check on the activities of

the claimant and find ways to create dispute until solid proof is given.

This is done to avoid paying high premiums.

Employer Prejudice

Some employers, in order to keep away from paying hefty amounts in

workers compensation claims try to deny the workers benefits. They

presume that the worker is exaggerating or telling half truths about their condition. Employer prejudice is most common in cases where the

claimant files for injuries that are hard to prove, such as internal injuries,

extreme muscular pains, depression due to work environments, etc.

They dispute the claim for financial benefits and to avoid paying hefty

amounts in compensation.

How to Fight a Denial of Claim

The first thing to do after you find out that your claim has been denied is to write to the insurance company that your employer is associated with. In case you’re still denied the claim, it’s pivotal to hire a work injury lawyer who can assist you with filing a lawsuit.

In such a case, it is important for employees to fight for the benefits they are entitled to by law. Also, it is important that the employee doesn’t feel guilty for filing a lawsuit against the employer for denying the benefits. The employer is legally entitled to receive time off work, medical and other benefits in case of a work injury. Therefore, a work injury lawyer in PA can help you get through to the entire process and reach a successful end to the claim to ensure you receive your rightful benefits.
