Stupid workmans comp- *cry*

I'm convinced that it always gets denied the first time through. The company gets to say "yup, all our fault" or "nope, prove it!" I doubt it's uncommon for them to say prove it. I wouldn't panic until it gets past the more information page. But, don't admit anything you don't have to. This is based on my experience with L&I claims, which admittedly was quite some time ago.

Bleh, I feel for you! WC is a convoluted mess in most states, and comparable to applying for SSI disability. Stay the course and don't let them defeat you- they'll try to wear you down, but it sounds like you have a perfectly normal, reasonable medical condition going on and they will eventually capitulate. I've got some real horror stories regarding L&I, but they all end happily. (Mostly).
