Accepted claim: A claim in which the insurance company agrees your injury or illness is covered by workers' compensation. Even if your claim is accepted there may be delays or other problems. Also called admitted claim.
Denied claim: A claim in which the insurance company believes your injury or illness is not covered by workers' compensation and has notified you of the decision.
Whether your claim has been accepted or denied, if you are a seriously injured worker in California you should seek legal assistance. Remember this, the insurance company hires good lawyers - - the only chance you have at recovering compensation for your work injury is hiring a good lawyer.
You Need Evidence
In a nutshell, if your California workers compensation claim is denied you are going to need evidence. Usually medical evidence. You need evidence to address the reason why the workers compensation insurance carrier denied your claim. Then you need to file for an Expedited Hearing at your local WCAB.
Always tell the truth
This is the most important rule for seriously injured workers in California: Tell the truth.
Don't try to fudge or exaggerate or whatever. It is the best way to ruin your case. Always tell the truth.
