Legal Question in Workers Comp in Kansas

I tore my miniscus in my right knee at work and have been notified that they are denying the claim even though it happened while on duty. They said sence it happened while I was just walking that it was not cosidered as a workmans comp claim. Does this sound right?

If you were walking on the job, it should be viewed as a work place injury. You did not indicate "who" denied yoru claim. If it was your employer, they almost always do that. That is why so many injured workers have to get an attorney, to make the employer do what they are supposed to. If it was the Work Comp Hearing Officer that denied your claim, you have bigger issues. Either way, you should consult directly with a work comp attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. You may email me if you need a referral
