Why Your Oklahoma Workers Comp Claim is being Denied?

In Oklahoma, the workers have a coverage of workers comp. This means if anyone is injured during their working hours, they are entitled to receive all the facilities provided by the workers compensation system. But sometimes, in OKC the workers get denied their claim of workers comp. For that reason, taking precautions is very important.

In this article, we are going to tell you about some of the most common mistakes that people make and lose their workers comp claim in the process. Read the article and make sure that you do not make the same mistakes.

Insufficient Information

It is a very common incident when a workers compensation claim is denied because sufficient information is not available. To avoid such a scenario, you can get your claim checked by an experienced lawyer and make sure that all the necessary information is there.

Late Notification

In order to get the claim from the workers compensation scheme, you would have to report the injury within 30 days of occurrence of the injury or 30 days since you had to leave the job because of the injury. But if you do not file your claim within that time period, your claim has a very high chance of being rejected.

Off Site Injury

Your claim might get denied if your employer thinks that your injury did not occur on the site of the work. So you should also be prepared. Submit all the necessary documents and proof that denote that you were indeed on the site of work when you were injured.

Lack of Witnesses

If there is some information that cannot be found in the papers, alibis and witnesses are called. But if you do not have anyone like that on your side, getting the claim might be a bit more difficult. Because of that, it is very important that you talk to all the available witnesses and make sure that they take stand for you.

Not Being treated by an Approved Medical Organization

Once the injury occurs, getting proper treatment is very important. But if you do not get your treatment from an approved medical service provider, then your OKC workers comp claim might get denied.
