It is common for workers' compensation claims to get denied upon initial application to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Workers' compensation claims are commonly denied due to the following:

• Lack of medical documentation
• Alleged preexisting conditions
• Injury was not work-related
• Filing deadlines were missed
• Technical errors in the workers' comp application

Medical Documentation in Workers' Comp Cases

While you may have provided medical documentation of your work injury, the documentation submitted in your initial application for workers' compensation benefits might not have met the standards of the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. As an experienced workers' compensation lawyer and certified specialist in Ohio Workers' Compensation law, Charles Kranstuber knows Ohio laws, regulations and standards that must be met.

When handling your appeal to the Ohio Industrial Commission, we work with your doctors to ensure full, accurate documentation is provided. In addition, because we recognize the time-constraints in the workers' compensation appeals process, we put pressure, when necessary, on medical professionals to expedite this process.

There are strict time limits for appealing denied workers' compensation claims. You only have 14 days to appeal a denied workers' comp claim and you only have 17 days from the time you filed your claim to provide all required information. Don't wait or you may lose the right to obtain workers' comp benefits.
