What to do if your workers’ comp claim gets denied


If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied, don’t panic—you still have options. Employers and insurance companies often deny claims to minimize payouts, citing reasons like insufficient medical evidence, missed deadlines, or disputes over whether the injury was work-related.

A denial does not mean the end of your case. You have the right to appeal the decision, but the process can be complex and time-sensitive.

At Cantor Injury Law, we have successfully overturned countless workers’ comp denials by building strong appeals, gathering medical documentation, and aggressively challenging unfair claim rejections. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to deny claims—and we won’t let them take advantage of you. Our team will handle the entire appeals process, fight for your rights, and work to secure maximum compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term recovery.

St Louis Workers Compensation Lawyers FAQS

What should I do after a workplace injury?

If you’ve been injured on the job, report it to your employer immediately and seek medical attention as soon as possible. Failing to report the injury in a timely manner can hurt your claim. Keep a record of your accident, symptoms, and any treatment received. Then, call Cantor Injury Law—we can guide you through the next steps to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

Am I eligible for workers’ compensation?

Most Missouri employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of who was at fault. You may qualify if you were injured at your workplace, during work-related tasks, or while traveling for work. However, independent contractors and some specific types of workers may not be covered—contact us to evaluate your specific situation.

What if my employer says I don’t need to file a claim?

Some employers may discourage or delay workers’ comp claims to protect their insurance rates—but that is illegal. If your employer refuses to report your injury or pressures you not to file a claim, contact Cantor Injury Law immediately. We will make sure your rights are protected and that your claim is properly filed.

Can I see my own doctor, or do I have to see my employer’s doctor?

Missouri law allows your employer or their insurance company to choose your treating doctor for a workers’ compensation claim. If you seek treatment from your own doctor without approval, the insurance company may refuse to cover your medical expenses and you may have to pay out-of-pocket. We can help if you believe the company doctor is downplaying your injuries or rushing your return to work.

Can I sue my employer instead of filing a workers’ comp claim?

In most cases, workers’ compensation is the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries, meaning you cannot sue your employer directly. However, there are exceptions. If your injury was caused by intentional harm, gross negligence, or a third party (such as a defective product or negligent subcontractor), you may be able to file a separate lawsuit for additional compensation. We can evaluate your case and explore all available legal options.

What if I was partially at fault for my injury?

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, meaning you can still receive benefits even if you were partially responsible for your injury. However, if you were intoxicated, engaged in misconduct, or intentionally disregarded safety rules, your claim could be reduced or denied. We will review the details of your case to ensure you receive fair treatment.
