Get Medical and Financial Benefits With Help From Our Littleton Workers’ Comp Lawyers
As an injured worker, you have the right to medical and financial workers’ comp benefits. However, to obtain them, you have certain responsibilities, including reporting your injury to your employer promptly and in writing.
Per the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE), you have ten working days to do so. Failure to meet the notification/reporting deadline could mean you cannot apply for benefits.
Our Littleton workers’ comp attorneys will help you stay on top of any claim-related deadlines, including filing your appeal on time if the insurance company denies your initial application. Contact our consultation team at Matlin Injury Law to learn more with a free claim review.
Medical Benefits for Injured Workers in Littleton Start Immediately
If you suffered severe injuries, seek immediate medical care at the nearest hospital, such as AdventHealth Littleton. For non-emergency treatment, your employer will give you a list of physicians who can treat your injury. You must choose an Authorized Treating Physician (ATP) from this list. The insurance provider should cover all your medical bills, so you should get (and keep getting) all the medical care your injuries require.
Failing to stick to your treatment plan could compromise your physical recovery and create doubt about your injuries’ severity.
We Fight Hard for the Financial Benefits for Injured Workers in Littleton
How much compensation you receive and how long you receive it will vary according to your impairment rating. Accordingly:
- Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) is for workers who can return to work in a limited capacity or at a lower wage.
- Temporary Total Disability (TTD) is for workers who cannot work in any capacity for a period.
- Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) is for workers who lose a body part or its function, restricting their ability to work permanently.
- Permanent Total Disability (PTD) is for workers who cannot work for the rest of their lives due to their injuries or illness.
According to the CDLE, those with a TTD or PTD rating who cannot work for at least three shifts due to a work-related injury are typically entitled to workers’ comp’s financial benefits in the form of two-thirds of their average weekly wage (paid every two weeks).
TPD financial benefits are calculated by subtracting your current wages from the amount you would have earned pre-injury. PPD payments depend on your percentage of loss of function. Your personal injury lawyer will work hard to ensure you receive accurate payments commensurate with your salary.
Our workers’ comp team also supports clients who are seeking death benefits for the work-related death of a loved one. Our Littleton wrongful death lawyers know how to navigate the workers’ comp process effectively and get you the benefits you deserve.
