Although there are certainly some jobs and industries that carry a higher risk of injury for employees, workplace accidents can happen in any industry. From repetitive motion injuries and minor slips and falls to vehicular accidents and injuries caused by heavy machinery, suffering through any workplace injury can have a number of serious repercussions, including physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. Fortunately, many companies are required to hold workers’ compensation insurance, providing a way for injured employees to secure the financial benefits they need to cover their injury-related losses.
However, understanding your rights and filing a successful claim for workers’ compensation benefits is not always easy. Claims can be denied initially, there is a great deal of paperwork that must be filled out, and you must provide certain types of documentation; all of these factors serve to make the process of actually securing benefits much more difficult. Fortunately, having the support of a workers’ compensation lawyer from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., can make the process of applying for benefits much easier, and can increase your chances of securing the financial assistance you need. To learn more, or to discuss your situation in greater detail, contact us at (303) 423-1770 today.

I
was injured in a fall and the nightmare began. I found Mike Zimmerman on the
internet, read his background history and contacted his office. The Office
Staff was wonderful, patient, and helpful, even though I was probably a pain
to them. Mike is a no nonsense kind of guy. He will tell you exactly what he
feels about your case and will not sugar coat it. You will know exactly what
to expect and I appreciated the honesty! I would recommend Mike to anyone
who has their life spinning out of control because of an accident. He help
me get my life back.

Working through divorce and custody issues is an extremely difficult and
emotionally trying experience. Mike Zimmerman represented my interest in a
highly professional manner and protected my rights as a parent at a level
that exceeded my highest expectations. This firm’s expertise, ability and
professionalism earned my respect as well as my continued business for any
legal issues I encounter in the future.

We
came across mike Zimmerman when we were involved in an accident awhile back,
we had been negotiating with the insurance company for some time and getting
nowhere with a settlement. Never knowing Mike Zimmerman when we had gone and
seen him it really surprised us that he made us feel right at home and that
he was really concerned for his clients. Mike was very upfront with us a our
lawyer, and advised us every step of the way. His associates were very
professional and office personnel was very friendly also. Mike got almost
double the settlement we were expecting and we just were very satisfied and
would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a good honest lawyer.

We
were hit by an uninsured driver in 2006 and my husband was unable to work
for some time. Initially our own insurance really didn’t want to help us. On
the recommendation of a friend, we contacted Mr. Z and with his advice,
suggestions and hard work, we were able to get the what we needed from our
insurance to help us with our bills and medical costs. His staff was very
patient with us as well and was always available to reassure us and to
answer our questions. We hope nothing like this ever happens again, but if
it was to happen, we would contact Mr Zimmerman in a heart beat.

Rick – Smart and nice! We were nervous and Rick put us at ease. Kept us
informed. Never thought we made a bad choice. Also, the first time I called,
I talked to Rick…impressed us very much.
– D. & S. Bratrovsky
Exceeded expectations!
– T. Thiel
I
liked the fact that I was kept up to date throughout the process. When the
accident first happened, Rick went to bat for me right away to make sure
that I was compensated for my loss of transportation. The end result in my
case exceeded my expectations and I was very pleased.
– D. Hughley
I
appreciated the effort Rick Hull presented during the difficulties that
occurred throughout the settlement and following. I felt completely at ease
during the whole process.
– Michele Wolf
I
appreciated the fact that Rick Hull always explained everything to me. No
matter how insignificant I thought the question was, he encouraged me to ask
and was very patient when I didn’t understand some aspect of the legal
procedures. I also appreciated the fact that Rick was a real person, he
wasn’t stiff or unapproachable. He was easy to talk to, to understand, and
get along with. In addition, he explained certain aspects of Colorado law
thoroughly to me so that I could make an informed decision that best suited
my needs.
