FAQ

Can I File a Workers’ Compensation Claim if I’m an Independent Contractor?

Independent contractors are usually not eligible for workers' compensation benefits. However, you may still have other options to obtain compensation, including filing a claim directly with the at-fault party.

I Was at Fault for the Accident. Can I Still File a Claim?

Workers’ comp is a no-fault system. What this means is that you can file a claim regardless of fault. That said, intentional self-inflicted injuries or those resulting from drug or alcohol use while on the job can jeopardize your claim.

What Are Some Common Reasons for Workers’ Compensation Claim Denial?

Insurance companies may deny your claim for several reasons, sometimes valid, other times out of bad faith. Here are a few examples:

Delayed reporting of the injury
Disputes over the nature or cause of the injury
Lack of medical evidence supporting the claim
Employer disputes on whether the injury is work-related
Failure to meet filing deadlines

Can I Settle for a Lump-Sum Payment?

You may have the option to settle your workers' compensation case for a lump-sum payment. However, you should carefully consider this decision since it could mean giving up your rights to obtain more compensation further down the line. That’s one of the key decisions we may be able to help you make if you have a valid case.
