Under some circumstances, an insurance carrier will reject your workers’ comp claim. The Alabama Department of Labor reported that there are several exceptions to these claims that often result in them being denied. For example, your claim could be rejected if you were:
- Not at the job site or not on the clock when your accident occurred
- Made redundant before the accident happened
- Determined to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol prior to your accident
- Performing a task outside the usual scope of your employment
- Not using the proper safety appliances and precautions provided by your job
- Your injury occurred more than two years ago
If you feel that your claim was denied without cause, you need to speak with our Decatur workers’ compensation attorneys. Our Alabama law firm has decades of experience helping our injured clients get the damages they are entitled to.
