As long as your company has more than four employees – full-time, part-time, seasonal or otherwise – you’re eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits, including fully comped medical care and disability benefits. But how much you receive often comes down to the strength and ferocity of your legal representation.

Many companies’ insurance providers will work hard to try and minimize your benefits to preserve their bottom line. They may try to deny your claim by shifting the blame onto misbehavior or argue the accident didn’t occur while you were performing covered activities, such as alleging you sustained your injuries during activities unrelated to work, during your commute or while violating company policies. Some workers have even had their request for benefits denied due to false claims of intoxication or attribution of an injury to pre-existing conditions.

While these unfair denials are awful in any workplace injury scenario, they’re particularly egregious in the case of debilitating injuries that prevent the worker from finding gainful employment in the future.
