Fort Collins Workers Compensation Attorneys

A worker's compensation claim is the formal process of getting fair treatment after a work injury. The State of Colorado has robust laws that protect employees when they get hurt at work. You deserve appropriate medical care at no cost to you. You also deserve replacement income that takes your pay rate and disability into account.

However, employers don't always treat you fairly. They may try to make the process difficult, hoping that you give up, or they simply refuse to pay you what they should. However, you are not alone. A worker's compensation claim is the process of demanding fair compensation.

There are two major factors to a worker's compensation claim. First, you deserve payment for your medical bills. In fact, your employer should cover your medical bills in their entirety. If the employer or their insurance company resists paying, you may need to develop the evidence to prove that your injury or illness is workplace-related. Our attorneys can assist you in collecting the evidence you need for your claim.

Second, you deserve payment for your lost income. When you're unable to work, you are owed compensation. You will receive a percentage of your income for the period of time that you are disabled. Determining the amount that you deserve may be a complex undertaking. Too many employers try to get away with paying too little. Fortunately, you can fight back by bringing a worker's compensation claim.
