Denver Workers' Compensation Lawyer
About Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation coverage was developed across the United States to protect injured workers when they were injured at work. As a no-fault system, regardless of who may have caused an accident that led to a work related injury, the employee could feel secure that their injuries would be treated and that they would be able to receive at least a portion of their pay when unable to work due to the injury. This also prevented the injured worker from having to pursue legal means against his/her employer in order to attempt to obtain compensation for injuries suffered on the job. While the system works on the most part, there are times when there are disputes regarding whether the injury was sustained on the job or not, the extent of the injury or ability to return to work. At these times it is vital to retain a Denver workers' compensation attorney to assist you in pursuing your claim.
The Division of Workers' Compensation in Denver has the authority to assign a treating doctor and monitor the claim in a cost effective manner. But like any bureaucracy, your personal needs may be lost in the shuffle and can lead to your not receiving the benefits you are entitled to. At Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC, we work with you and your workers' compensation insurance company to ensure you are treated fairly and receive every available benefit provided by your coverage.
