They will argue that they cannot determine whether you are eligible.<\/li><\/ol><div>\u00a0<\/div><div style=\"text-align: left;\">There are also denials that come as a result of alleged medical determinations. They include:<\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><ol><li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Injury not limiting work<\/strong> \u2013 A medical examiner may determine that the injury does not preclude you from continuing to work or that you were not disabled long enough for benefits to be paid out.<\/li><li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Injury unrelated to work<\/strong> \u2013 An insurance company\u2019s doctor may allege that while an injury exists, it did not occur as a result of you doing work but may have happened during your off-time.<\/li><\/ol><div>\u00a0<\/div><div style=\"text-align: left;\">There are other reasons behind denials, but these are the most common ones. While the law indicates that you receive up to $10,000 in medical care while your claim is being evaluated, it can be a struggle to obtain the other benefits you may deserve after an initial denial.<\/div><div style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/div><div style=\"text-align: left;\">One reason to work with a workers\u2019 compensation attorney with experience is their ability to litigate and advocate on your behalf.
