All too often, workers’ compensation claims are aggressively denied. Many claimants who have tried to secure benefits know this firsthand. The claims are myriad. It may be claimed that you were not injured on the job, or that you were behaving improperly, or even illegally.
Other common workers’ compensation defenses include:
- Willful employee misconduct
- An employee’s attempt to injure another
- Willful failure to properly take advantage of a safety appliance
- Willful failure to perform duties required by statute
- Horseplay
- Intoxication or impairment by intoxicant during the time of accident
- Disability or injury caused in part by undisclosed pre-existing medical condition
- Failure to timely report an accident
Only if you were questioned about pre-existing conditions prior to employment can the “failure to disclose” denial arise.
