How do I report an injury on the job?
It is important to notify your employer immediately after you suffer an injury. Be sure you fill out all of the necessary paperwork at that time as well. A Workers' Claim for Compensation must also be filled out and sent to the Division of Workers' Compensation at 633 17th St., Suite 400, Denver, CO 80202.
Am I entitled to collect lost wages?
If you have missed more than three consecutive days from your regular work schedule as a result of your injuries and you have a written note from a doctor stating that you are unable to work, you are entitled to compensation. Your compensation will be equal to two thirds of your average weekly pay prior to the accident.
What if I am released back to work on modified duty?
If you are released for modified duty at your job, you are entitled to receive Temporary Partial Disability Benefits to make up for missed or lowered wages during your recovery.
What if I am released back to my job too soon?
If you have been released from medical care, you are legally entitled to a second opinion. A Level II accredited physician will examine you and your rate of impairment will be rated. Then a date of Maximum Medical Improvement will be determined.
What if my employer denies my workers' compensation claim?
You have the right to argue the insurance company's denial of benefits. A hearing will be scheduled during which you must be able to prove your accident was job related. You may want to hire a skilled and qualified attorney that is well-versed in workers' compensation law.
What if my employer is giving me a hard time about making medical appointments?
Following an injury that occurred on the job, you are entitled to keep doctor appointments, physical therapy appointments and any other medical appointments relating to your job accident. Many employers intimidate their injured employees to avoid paying lost wages and higher insurance premiums. If you are a victim of this type of illegal treatment, you need to retain a lawyer to protect your rights.
If you have been injured on the job and your employer is refusing to cooperate and is denying you the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to, do not hesitate to contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to prove your claim and protect your legal rights. At the law offices of Hull & Zimmerman of Denver and Boulder, Colorado, we are dedicated to helping those who have suffered on the job injuries to obtain the workers' compensation benefits they are entitled to.
