Getting injured on the job is no joke. Depending on the kind of injury you are looking at, time off of work, multiple doctor’s appointments, and recovery time. This can be very stressful for you and your family. The last thing you want to do is deal with delayed workers’ compensation claims.

You show up to work every day and deliver your best work. Then, when you get injured, you expect your work to show up for you, but they don’t. California requires that each business purchase worker’s compensation insurance in case their employers get hurt. This insurance guarantees you would be eligible for just compensation if something happens to you. This alleviates any worry that a worker may have if they get injured. Workers’ compensation claims are no-fault claims, too. This means that fault must not be proven for the claim to be accepted. So, if you were to fall off a ladder because you forgot to open it all the way, it does not mean you cannot get compensation for the medical bills or lost wages for recovery time.

However, nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Workers’ compensation claims are treated with suspicion and suspicion. And to be honest, not every worker is honest. There have been countless fraudulent claims for injuries that did not result from an injury on the job. The few bad apples leave a sour taste in an insurance company’s mouth and are suspicious of everyone. Insurance companies are also a business. They are in the business of helping provide financial assistance, but they aren’t in the business of acting as a charity. They want to help people, but if they can get away with causing frustration so that people will give up, they will.

Common Reasons For Delayed Claims

If you or someone you love suffered from a workplace injury, then you can file a workers’ compensation claim as long as you tell your employer immediately, are seeing the correct medical staff as approved by your employers, and are following the treatment plan.  However, sometimes, your claim does not go as planned, and you are delayed. Most insurance companies delay claims because they think they can avoid paying for the injury by giving you the runaround. They want to exhaust you in hopes that you will give up. Delays also come from poor management of your claim. This can come from your employer, the insurance company, or your current legal team.
