What Qualifies as a Workers’ Compensation Injury?

If your injury happened on the job while performing work-related duties, you may have a valid workers’ comp claim. If eligible, you could receive coverage for medical bills, lost wages, disability, and other necessary benefits. Compensation typically comes from the employer’s insurance provider. Having an experienced lawyer strengthens your claim and improves your chances of a favorable settlement.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury in Colorado

A work injury can be overwhelming, but taking the right steps protects your health and legal rights:

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health. Seeing a doctor is also required to qualify for workers’ comp benefits.

  2. Report the Injury to Your Employer: Colorado law requires reporting within 10 working days.

  3. Document Everything: Take photos, collect witness statements, and track medical expenses.

  4. Consult a Workers’ Comp Lawyer: An attorney helps you navigate the claims process and maximize your benefits.

  5. File for Workers’ Compensation Benefits: Notifying your employer isn’t the same as filing a claim. Your lawyer can ensure the proper paperwork is submitted.

Understanding Colorado Workers’ Compensation Laws

Colorado workers’ comp laws provide financial and medical support for job-related injuries. Key points:

  • Employers Must Carry Workers’ Comp Insurance – Almost all employers must provide coverage.

  • Workers’ Comp is the Exclusive Remedy – Employees usually cannot sue their employer for workplace injuries.

  • No-Fault Coverage – You don’t have to prove employer negligence to qualify.

  • Timely Reporting is Critical – Delays in reporting can hurt your claim.

Available Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Injured workers in Colorado may be entitled to:

  • Medical Benefits – Covers all necessary treatments.

  • Temporary Total Disability (TTD) – Wage replacement if you’re unable to work.

  • Permanent Disability (PPD) – Compensation for lasting impairments.

  • Vocational Rehabilitation – Training for a new job if you can’t return to your previous one.

  • Death Benefits – Financial support for families of workers who suffer fatal injuries.

Third-Party Liability Claims

Workers’ comp isn’t always the only option. If a third party caused your injury—such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer—you may have a separate personal injury claim. These claims can provide additional compensation for pain and suffering.
