Claims Are Not Always Accepted. When This Happens, Speak to a Knowledgeable Attorney
If you have filed for workers’ compensation benefits and have received a denied claim or have been given reduced benefits, you have the legal right to dispute the decision. In order to do this, you will need to file an Application for Adjudication of Claim with the California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board. During this process, you will have the option to request for a hearing.
The workers’ compensation system in California is handled through a network of insurance companies. These for-profit businesses will work aggressively toward paying injured workers the least amount as possible. When you have suffered a work-related injury or illness, obtain the support of a qualified attorney who can represent you throughout the claims process.
The workers’ compensation attorneys at Castillo & Associates work tirelessly to ensure injured workers receive the benefits they need to make a full recovery. Having worked alongside major insurance companies such as Allstate, Fireman’s Fund Ins Company, CIGNA Property & Casualty and Fremont Compensation Insurance Company, the firm is well-aware of the tactics insurance companies and employers use to deny workers benefits.
