Denver Workers' Compensation Accidents Attorney

Accidents on the Job and Workers' Compensation

If you have an accident on the job and are injured or disabled, the State of Colorado provides that your medical expenses, any lost wages and any resulting disability are covered under its "no-fault" Worker's Compensation program. This means no matter who the negligent or responsible parties may have been, you are eligible for medical care and compensation.

Receiving all your benefits can be a problem when you are involved in a work-related accident because there are very specific rules that must be followed under the law. In fact, the rules and conditions can be so confusing that, if not understood and complied with properly, you may not receive all the benefits you deserve. You should speak to a Denver workers' comp accidents attorney at Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, LLC to help you understand your rights and insure you receive all the compensation you are entitled to.

What kinds of accidents or injuries are covered?

Typically, if the accident takes place at your worksite or while driving for your job you will be covered by workers' comp. There has to be a clear connection between the accident that caused your injury and what your job duties or responsibilities are. Examples of such work related accidents would be falls caused by a defective scaffold or injury due to defective equipment. Lifting heavy objects can cause back injuries and injuries caused by equipment malfunctions, fires, or explosions at the workplace would all be covered.
