Colorado Workers' Comp Attorney
Denver On-the-Job Accident Lawyer
Workers' compensation was designed to ensure that injured workers have the medical treatment and lost wages caused by workplace accidents. You don't have to have a Colorado workers comp attorney to represent you in a workers' compensation matter, but it is highly recommended because the claim process is complex. If your claim was denied or if you were wrongfully discharged for filing a claim, you would be well advised to contact a Colorado workers' comp lawyer.

Important Things to Know about Workers' Compensation
- Workers' compensation is a no-fault system. You may be eligible for benefits regardless of whether you, a co-worker, or your employer actually caused the injury.
- Workers' comp laws also provide benefits for dependents of workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses.
- There are statutory caps or limits to combined temporary and permanent partial disability benefits.
- By filing a workers' compensation claim, you give up your right to sue your employer and its liability insurance company in other types of lawsuits.
- If the insurance company denies any portion of your claim, the matter will proceed to a hearing before an administrative law judge, not a jury.
- In most cases, the approximate time from the filing of an Application for Hearing to the hearing date is three months.
- If your claim is compensable under workers' compensation laws, you will be entitled to medical benefits, including medical treatment, prescriptions, and certain equipment.
- You may be entitled to temporary disability benefits to compensate you for lost wages if specific criteria are met.
- You also may be entitled to permanent partial and/or permanent total disability benefits once your medical condition stabilizes.
- Once you receive your workers' compensation benefits, attorney (and former registered nurse) Janice Greening will assist with monitoring your medical care to ensure that you are receiving adequate treatment under the law.
