Workers Compensation Attorney Tarzana
The affluent neighborhood of Tarzana in California’s San Fernando Valley is set on the site of former ranch owner and author Edgar Rice Burroughs and is named after Burroughs’ favorite authored hero, Tarzan. Occupied by Spanish settlers in 1797, the area was purchased by the Los Angeles Suburban Homes Company in 1909 and had a population of over 35,500 as of 2000.
As with many neighborhoods adjacent to the city of Los Angeles, Tarzana is or has been home to many notable individuals including Jonah Hill, Selena Gomez and Blake Lively. But unlike the glamorous jobs which these individuals may hold, the majority of Tarzana residents work 9 to 5 jobs like most Americans.
So Your Employer Is Skeptical about Your Claim
Employers may be skeptical about a workers compensation claim because the employer:
- Believes that the injury or illness is not related to work
- Does not believe that an accident ever occurred
- Believes that the injury is the result of a pre-existing condition
Even if you do have a pre-existing condition, this does not mean that you are not entitled to workers compensation. For example, if your preexisting condition is aggravated due to your duties, you may still be eligible for compensation.
What to Do If Your Claim Is Denied
A skeptical employer is also one who is more likely to deny your claim. This often results in an employer disputing your claim, which can then lead to your claim being denied.
If an employer disputes your claim, gather additional evidence so that you can support the fact that you should be receiving workers compensation. Some of the best pieces of evidence include a report from your doctor and witness accounts from those who were present at the time of your injury.
If a claim is denied you do still have the chance to appeal that denial. Read the denial letter carefully and if you continue to face difficulties, contact an attorney.
