Why Are Workers Claims Denied?
There are many reasons why a workers' compensation claim in Florida might be denied, but some of the most common include:
01
Failure to Report the Injury on Time
In Florida, you must report your injury within 30 days of the incident. Missing this window can result in an automatic denial.
02
Insufficient Medical Evidence
If there’s not enough documentation to prove your injury is work-related, your claim may be rejected. More detailed medical records are often needed to strengthen your case.
03
Pre-Existing Conditions
If an injury aggravates an existing condition, insurance companies may deny the claim, arguing that the workplace accident wasn’t the main cause.
04
Disputes Over Causation
Sometimes, employers or their insurance providers will dispute that the injury happened at work, which can result in a denied claim.
05
Failure to Follow Treatment Plans
If you don’t follow your doctor's treatment plan, the insurance company may argue that you delayed or worsened your recovery, leading to a denial.
