Medical Benefits Start Right Away for Sick or Injured Employees in Denver
If an injury you sustained at work requires immediate medical attention, workers’ comp should cover any emergency care you receive. According to Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) guidelines, workers’ comp insurance should also cover your ongoing medical care if:
- You choose a doctor from your employer’s designated provider list.
- You submit to an independent medical examination when asked to do so.
Medical benefits include all the treatment required to achieve Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI). Track your medical care, referrals, and medications. Our legal team will use these documents to prove the extent of your injury.
Besides timely notification of your injury, you generally have two years to file for workers’ comp benefits. We will help you understand the filing deadline and the risks of non-compliance.
Do Not Wait to Report Your Workplace Injury or Disease
According to additional CDLE guidelines, you have 10 days to report a workplace injury in writing to your employer.
Avoid any delay in making this mandatory notification since doing so could jeopardize your right to receive benefits. Our law firm can handle this notification if your injury prevents you from doing so.
Financial Benefits of Workers’ Compensation for Ill or Injured Workers in Denver
An essential part of applying for financial benefits is understanding the type and amount of benefits you can receive and their duration. Our workers’ compensation lawyer serving Denver will clarify and document the required waiting period. It requires you to miss three days of work, reimbursable after you miss two weeks due to your injury.
