Accepted
condition
When
you file a workers’ compensation claim for an injury or occupational disease,
the workers’ compensation insurance company reviews the claim. The insurer
then determines whether the major contributing cause of your injury or
disease was a work activity. The insurer reviews your medical report to
make this determination. If the insurer determines the cause was work-related,
then the insurer agrees to accept the medical condition resulting from
the injury or disease; such as if you fall while at work and break
your leg, the medical condition is the broken leg; and agrees to be responsibile
for the payment of benefits on for your claim. The insurer will provide
you with a written notice of accepted condition(s).
