Did you submit a workers’ compensation claim and wonder what happens next? Attorney Stephen Vicari of Stewart Law Offices explains the key differences between an accepted claim and a denied claim in South Carolina.
When a claim is accepted, the injured worker should begin receiving benefits such as medical treatment coverage and wage replacement. However, even accepted claims can face disputes over the extent of treatment, the length of benefits, or return-to-work issues.
When a claim is denied, it means the employer or insurance company disputes responsibility for the injury. Denials may be based on arguments that the injury wasn’t work-related, that notice wasn’t provided in time, or other technical reasons. In these cases, workers often need to file an appeal and present evidence to the South Carolina Workers’ Compensation Commission.
Stephen discusses what injured employees should expect in both situations and why speaking with an attorney can help protect your rights. If your claim has been denied, or if you’re facing delays and disputes with an accepted claim, Stewart Law Offices can help guide you through the process.
