Colorado Workers’ Compensation Lawyers

Unfortunately, being injured is a risk to any job. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, almost three million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported in the private sector during 2020.[1] During the same year, private sector employers reported 4,764 fatal work injuries.[2]

Workers’ compensation laws provide employees benefits for medical expenses, lost wages, permanent disability, and disfigurement to ensure that injured workers receive compensation for their damages. Understanding these laws can be complex; therefore, you should always consult with an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer if you suffer an injury at work.

What Is a Workers’ Compensation Injury?

Workers’ compensation laws state that a worker who is injured, develops a medical condition, or dies while at work or performing work duties is eligible to receive compensation for their losses.

Common Examples of Workers’ Compensation Injuries

Examples of situations where an employee may be entitled to compensation under workers’ compensation laws include:

Developing a condition from a repetitive action such as carpal tunnel syndrome
An unintentional or intentional injury caused by a coworker, such as a coworker failing to secure the ladder you used to climb to the second floor of a construction site
An injury caused by another person who is not an employee, such as an automobile accident while you deliver parts to a buyer
A fatality or injury incurred due to the work environment, such as the employer’s failure to secure electrical lines properly
Permanent lung disease or loss of vision due to hazardous materials used to perform your work or used on the worksite
Accidently falling while stacking materials or removing items from a shelf
Tripping over torn flooring moving from your desk to the copy machine
Aggravating a pre-existing medical condition due to the work environment

It is impossible to cover every situation and scenario that may result in a workplace accident. The bottom line is that if you sustained an injury on the job, you must take steps to ensure that your right to receive workers’ compensation benefits is protected.

Workers' Compensation Law Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the basics of workers’ compensation can help you as you work with your attorney to file a claim.

What Benefits Can I Receive for My Workplace Injury?

The benefits you are eligible to receive for your workplace injury depend on its severity and whether you have a permanent condition. In most cases, the employer and/or the workers’ compensation insurance carrier covers all medical expenses related to the injury. You will receive temporary disability payments during your treatment.

What Happens if I Do Not Fully Recover From My Injury?

If you do not fully recover from the injury, you may receive compensation for a permanent disability, including an amount for scarring and/or disfigurement. Statutory limits for compensation determine the amount you receive. Because your employer’s insurance company will seek to pay the least amount possible, you need an experienced workers’ compensation attorney to ensure you receive the maximum compensation allowed under the law.

What Do I Do Immediately After Being Injured on the Job?

Seek immediate medical attention. Your health is your priority. With a life-threatening or traumatic injury, the quicker you seek medical attention, the better chance you have of preventing further injury or loss. Have someone contact emergency medical personnel and follow the instructions of onsite medical providers or emergency personnel on the telephone. If your injuries are not severe enough to require EMS, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Do I Need to File an Accident Report?

File an accident report with your employer. Many employers have a procedure for reporting an injury at work. If so, follow the guidelines for filing an accident report with your employer. You should report the accident immediately, both verbally and in writing. Request a copy of the written accident report for your records.

Do I Need to See a Specific Doctor?

See the company doctor. Some employers designate a specific medical provider for workers’ compensation claims. If so, you must see this doctor first and can obtain a second opinion if necessary.

What Records Do I Need to Keep?

Keep copies of all records, such as statements, bills, invoices, and others related to your work accident. If possible, take photos or have someone take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries. Keep a detailed journal noting dates and details of your recovery and any conversations or acts related to your workplace accident.

Do I Need a Workers’ Compensation Attorney for My Claim?

Being injured on the job can be very stressful as you worry about your health and how you will provide for your family if you are not working. A workers’ compensation attorney can help you navigate filing a claim.

A workers’ compensation claim can be complicated if you are required to attend hearings and fight for your right to receive compensation. Even though your employer and its insurance provider must work within workers’ compensation laws, you need an advocate to ensure that your best interest remains the top priority in your workers’ compensation claim.

Acudí a Ramos Law
Y mi principal persona de contacto fue la paralegal Ashley Narvaez, desde el primer momento Ashley me brindó un trato muy profesional y estuvo pendiente de mi situación siempre respondiendo con paciencia
Gracias a la abogada Emely McCurley por su dedicación y esfuerzo mi caso tuvo un resultado favorable.
Recomiendo ampliamente sus servicios a cualquier persona que esté pasando por una situación similar. Muchas gracias por todo el apoyo, son un excelente equipo!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Some cases are simply cases. Others become a chapter of your life.

My experience with Ramos Law and my attorney, Ross Iakovakis, was anything but an ordinary case.

Following my accident, I faced an extremely difficult and complicated journey that involved multiple surgeries, significant injuries, and the added complexity of pre-existing conditions. There were twists, turns, unexpected challenges, and more than a few moments when the path forward was anything but clear.

Through all of it, Ross and the team at Ramos Law never lost sight of the person behind the case.

They handled every challenge with dignity, precision, patience, and professionalism. They listened. They paid attention to the details. They understood that this wasn’t simply about paperwork or numbers—it was about my life, my future, and the impact this entire experience had on my family.

What meant the most to me was knowing that I wasn’t standing in this fight alone.

My wife and daughter stood beside me through some incredibly difficult moments, and Ramos Law understood that this journey affected them too. They treated my family with the same respect and compassion they showed me.

Ross Iakovakis deserves special recognition. His dedication, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to navigate every unexpected turn of this case meant more to me than I can adequately put into words. When circumstances became complicated, he didn’t back away. He stayed focused, continued working through the issues, and represented me with the level of professionalism and determination I hoped for when I first placed my trust in him.

There were moments when this case felt like it was taking us through a maze of unexpected turns and difficult circumstances. But Ross and Ramos Law continued to navigate those turns with me.

Looking back, I’m grateful not only for the legal representation I received, but for the respect, humanity, and genuine commitment I experienced along the way.

To Ross Iakovakis and everyone at Ramos Law:

Thank you.

Thank you for standing with me.

Thank you for standing with my family.

Thank you for treating my situation with the seriousness it deserved.

And most importantly, thank you for never allowing me to feel like I was simply another case number.

My family and I will always be grateful for the way you represented us during one of the most challenging chapters of our lives.

Ramos Law and Ross Iakovakis—thank you for being in our corner when we needed it most.
Thank you
