FAQs about Pueblo workers’ comp claims
What qualifies as a work-related injury in Colorado?
In Colorado, a work-related injury is any injury, illness, or disease that happens while you’re doing your job or as a result of your job duties or environments. This can include:
- Injuries such as broken bones or brain injuries from traumatic accidents at work like slip and falls, machinery accidents, or work-related vehicle accidents
- Repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome from performing repetitive tasks
- Occupational illnesses and diseases like hearing loss, certain cancers, and respiratory issues from exposure to harmful substances at high levels or over an extended period of time
- Pre-existing conditions (if your job worsens an existing health issue)
Even injuries that occur off-site can be covered if you’re performing work-related tasks. However, injuries during personal activities or due to misconduct aren’t covered.
How do I apply for Colorado workers’ comp after an injury?
If you’re injured on the job in Colorado, you’ll need to take certain steps to start the workers’ compensation claim process and secure your benefits. This is what you need to do:
- Seek medical attention. If your injury is severe, go to the nearest emergency room immediately. In non-emergency situations, your employer should provide a list of approved doctors. Choose one from this list for your treatment.
- Notify your employer. Inform your employer in writing about your injury within 10 days of the incident or discovery of the occupational illness or disease. If you miss this window, your claim could be denied, so report it as soon as possible and reach out to a workers’ compensation attorney to understand your options.
- File a workers’ compensation claim. Next, you should complete a workers’ comp claim by submitting Form WC-15 to the Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation. You have 2 years from the date of injury to file this claim, but you should submit it as soon as you can.
The insurance company has 20 days to accept or deny your claim after receiving it. If accepted, they will begin covering your medical expenses and any wage loss benefits.
If your workers’ comp claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision. If you find yourself in this situation, you should reach out to a workers’ compensation attorney to give you the best chance at a successful appeal.
How do I know if I qualify for workers’ comp in Pueblo?
If you work in Colorado and get hurt doing your job, there’s a good chance that you qualify for workers’ comp, but there are a few things that need to be true for you to qualify.
- You need to be an employee. Most full-time, part-time, and even seasonal employees are covered. Independent contractors usually aren’t covered, but sometimes that classification can be challenged.
- Your employer must carry workers’ comp insurance. Most businesses in Colorado with even 1 employee are required to have it, although there are certain types of Colorado workers who are exempt from workers’ comp coverage.
- Your injury or illness has to be work-related. That means it happened while you were doing something for your job—not on a lunch break or personal errand.
- You have to report the injury quickly. Colorado law says you should tell your employer within 10 days. Even if you’re a little late, still report it as soon as possible.
Not sure if you qualify? It’s totally normal to have questions. Talking to a Colorado workers’ comp attorney can help clear things up fast and ensure you don’t miss out on the benefits you need while you recover.
