What are the common reasons a workers’ comp claim is denied?

Claims can be denied due to a variety of common reasons. One primary reason is the failure to report the injury in a timely manner—most states have strict reporting deadlines for an employer to be notified of a work-related injury. Failure to produce medical evidence or documentation that the injury directly resulted from work-related duties can also lead to denial. If the injury took place outside of work or was not witnessed, the claim will be questioned.

How long do permanent partial disability benefits last?

The length of permanent partial disability (PPD) benefits is state-dependent and generally depends on the degree and location of the injury. The majority of states establish a particular number of weeks of coverage based on which body part is injured and what percent of impairment occurred. Benefits typically last for a specified time period stated in state workers' compensation law or until maximum payment is reached.
