Workers’ Compensation Rejection Factors

An employer or their compensation insurer may opt to refuse a worker’s claim in part due to high expenses. Many employers want to cut back on the costs involved in dealing with an injured worker. As a result, they may reject a claim even on shaky grounds if only to possibly save themselves some expense. Though they will likely not admit this, it is often the case that this is the primary motivation for the rejection of an injured employee’s claim.

If you have had your worker’s compensation claim rejected and would like to pursue an appeal, we can help. Contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 800-346-5529 today.

Employer Cost Concerns

Workers’ compensation can become a costly affair for any employer. However, this is an expense that is supposed to be preferable to the prospect of having to pay lawsuit settlements. To minimize their costs, employers may try to work around or reject a compensation claim. Some of the monetary concerns that might influence this choice are:

  • High medical care costs
  • Previous losses from compensation fraud
  • Disability accessibility costs
  • Lost productivity from that employee

While compensation may be an expense that many employers or insurers want to bypass through claim denial, it is not something injured workers can typically do without. Workers’ compensation benefits provide much-needed assistance to many workers who might otherwise suffer financial collapse because of their injuries.
