Resolving Workers’ Compensation Disputes
Worker's Compensation Disputes: Experienced Willmar Attorneys
If you’ve suffered an injury or illness covered by worker’s compensation and followed all the necessary procedures for filing a claim, it's frustrating when benefits are still denied. Insurance companies often employ various tactics to minimize their costs, even at the expense of valid claims.
If you believe your claim has been unjustly denied, there are legal avenues available to you. At Schneider & Madsen P.C., our Willmar workers' compensation attorneys are well-versed in handling disputed claims. We’re dedicated to helping you navigate the process, whether through mediation or filing a "Request for Benefit Review Conference," to ensure you receive the benefits you need to recover and move forward with your life.
Common Reasons for Claim Denials
Insurance companies might deny your claim for reasons such as:
- Suspected fraud
- Injury or illness not occurring at the workplace
- Pre-existing conditions
- Late filing of the claim
- Insufficient evidence
- Failure to attend a timely medical examination
Has the Insurance Company Made an Error or Acted in Bad Faith?
If you have a legitimate claim and have followed all the proper steps, you should receive the benefits you’re entitled to. Unfortunately, mistakes and bad faith practices by insurance companies can occur. Given the time-sensitive nature of these matters, it’s crucial to act quickly if your claim is disputed. Our experienced workers' compensation lawyers offer free consultations to review your situation and are committed to resolving your dispute effectively.
