  • What Should You Do If Your Florida Workers’ Compensation Claim Is Denied?
  • By Touby, Chait & Sicking

Getting your workers’ compensation claim denied can be incredibly frustrating – but a denial isn’t the end of the road. At Touby, Chait & Sicking, PL, we help injured workers across Florida fight back and pursue the benefits they deserve.

Common Reasons Claims Get Denied

  • Missed Deadlines: Failing to report your injury within 30 days or file a claim within two years.
  • Lack of Medical Evidence: Insufficient documentation connecting your injury to your job.
  • Disputes Over Cause: Employers or insurance companies claiming the injury didn’t happen at work.
  • Non-Compliance with Treatment: Missing appointments or not following medical advice.
  • Pre-Existing Conditions: Insurance companies blaming personal conditions or prior injuries for your work-related injury.

Why Having a Lawyer Makes a Difference

Injured workers with legal representation often recover more in benefits. Our attorneys at Touby, Chait & Sicking, PL can:

  • Navigate Florida’s complex workers’ compensation system.
  • Build strong medical and factual evidence to support your claim.
  • Handle all communications with the insurance company.
  • Ensure critical deadlines and requirements are met.
  • Represent you at mediations, depositions, hearings, and trials.

Has taking me a while to be able to put into words my thoughts and feelings about the firm of Touby, Chait & Sicking, PL. And it is because to write a review of Mr. Mark A. Touby feels disrespectful, at least in my mind, about someone who has done so much for me and my family. So this is not a review but a note of gratitude. My journey began 23 years ago when I had an accident at the job site (not sure if I can name the company for legal reasons) and suffered an injury that completely changed my life

Mark Touby is an amazing Attorney and his staff is great. Especially my favorites who include Mireya, Dale and Natalie who genuinely show they care. Never had any issues and this team is a great one. They helped me out in so many ways and are very approachable in not only your case but personal matters as well. They made me feel great and really go to bat for you, I highly recommend Mark and his team to help you with your Comp Case and encourage you to give them the chance to help you through out this extremely difficult time in your life, they made it so easy and comforting for me, there’s a lot of egotistical Attorneys out there that like to over shadow the true purpose of these Cases which is to help their Clients and like to make themselves out to be bigger than life and love to hear themselves talk instead of listening, Mark Touby is the complete opposite and Is the Best Attorney at this Firm and any other for that, thank you all for helping me through this difficult time in my life, looking forward to having lunch with some of you in the near future, Thanks again
