Can WorkCover deny my claim if my employer disagrees with the injury?

WorkCover can reject your claim if your employer disputes the circumstances of your injury. Unfortunately, some employers contest claims to protect their insurance premiums or avoid liability. This can feel like a betrayal, especially when you know your injury is real and work-related.

However, a denied claim lawyer can help gather the necessary evidence—such as medical reports, witness statements, and workplace records—to strengthen your case. Even if your employer refuses to acknowledge your injury, an appeal could still result in a successful outcome.

If you believe your employer disputes the circumstances of your injury, speak to a member of Gordon Legal’s WorkCover team to determine whether you can appeal this decision. Our team can support you through this, while you focus on recovering from you workplace injury.
