What is Workers' Compensation?
In Colorado, workers' compensation is a no-fault insurance program that protects both employers and employees. It provides a streamlined claims system for workplace injuries or illnesses. The program offers medical, lost wages, and other benefits to employees injured at work. Ideally, an injured employee files a claim, receives benefits, and the process is completed without the need for court intervention.
How to File for Workers' Compensation in Colorado
To file a workers' compensation claim in Colorado, follow these general steps:
1. Notify your employer orally and in writing immediately. You must provide written notice of your injury or illness to your employer within four days.
2. Seek medical attention from an approved physician. Ensure that you see a physician from the list your employer provides or obtain their approval if you wish to see a doctor of your choice.
3. Your employer must file an Employer's First Report of Injury with their insurance company within 10 days of receiving notice.
4. The insurance company should notify you and your employer if you are approved for benefits within 20 days.
If you encounter issues during the filing process, our experienced attorneys can help. Don't hesitate to reach out to the Eley Law Firm for guidance and representation.
