Waiting for a denial of your claim for compensation may take a State Workers’ Compensation Program some time to make a determination on the merits of your claim. This may also be caused by the employers attorney(s). Attorneys drag their feet, I did not need to tell you that! “That a no Brainier.” Let me ask you a no brainier question? “While you are waiting for the denial of your claim.” Do you pay for car insurance? Why? Now look at your paycheck stub. Why do you pay for Workers’ Compensation Insurance? This is a mandatory insurance that is automatically deducted from your wages. This is if you have problems at work, such as, injury, medical, or doctors excuse - necessary. ###
