Workers' Compensation Process
After a claim is filed, your employer's insurance company makes a determination on whether to cover the accident. If your claim is denied, we will represent you during a hearing contesting the denial and your disability status. We will seek to get you either a lump sum benefits or disability payments.
Besides workers' compensation benefits, you may receive money by filing a personal injury suit against a third party. You will not receive pain and suffering in a workers' compensation case, but may receive it in a personal injury suit. We will advise you about both workers' compensation and personal injury cases.

Cuando uno se lastima en el trabajo, puede ser consumido por ansiedad. Aparte del dolor fisico que trae, hay preocupaciones sobre como se va poder pagar las cuentas y mantener a Ia familia. Además, uno se siento perdido sin saber cuales son sus derechos legales. Pero no hay porque sentirse nervioso. Las leyes del Estado de Colorado están muy claras que cada patron está obligado de tener aseguranza para cubrir los daños de cualquier empleado lastimado. No importa si Usted tenia Ia culpa por causar el accidente y tampoco importa si uno tiene autorizacion legal de trabajar en este pais o no. Básicamente, todos los empleados en éste Estado están protegidos con aseguraiiza que le cubra por los gastos medicos, el sueldo perdido, y compensarle por cualquier disabilidad permanente. Si el patron no tiene esta aseguranza mandatoria, el patron tiene que pagar tales gastos directamente. Su patron tambien tiene que acomodarle para que pueda regresar al trabajo aunque tenga ciertas restricciones medicas. Usted, como empleado, esta obligado de reportar su accidente al empleador inmediatamente. Tambien está obligado de ir a los doctores y clinicas designadas por el patron y tambien de regresar a trabajar mientras que el patron puede acomodar sus restricciones medicas. Consultar con un abogado con experiencia en estos casos no cuesta nada y es util para determinar si a Usted Ie hace falta iniciar una demanda en Ia corte o no.
