How to Tell if Your Work Injury Will Be Covered by Work Comp

April 21, 2014 by Dianne Sawaya Leave a Comment

The work comp attorneys at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya have seen a lot of injuries over the years.  The Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety recently released a report on the top 10 causes of workplace injuries. They include :

• Overexertion, caused by excessive lifting, pushing, pulling, holding or throwing
• Falls on a level surface, such as slipping or tripping
• Injuries caused by slipping or tripping, but not from falling down
• Being struck by an object, such as a tool falling on you from a worker above you
• Falling down, such as after slipping or tripping
• Incidents while traveling at work
• Caught in or compressed by equipment or objects
• Repetitive motion injuries due to repeated stress or strain
• Assaults or violent acts
There are conditions that must be met for an injury to be covered by work comp, such as a connection between your injury and performing the duties of your job. Colorado workers’ comp law is complicated, though, and the paperwork and deadlines are very strict. It’s important that you contact us right away if you’ve been hurt. We can review your situation and help guide you through all the steps.
If you’ve been hurt in a work accident, you need an attorney who will get you the money you’re entitled to. Give me a call at (303) 758-4777, email me at DLS@dlslawfirm.com or visit us on the web at www.dlslawfirm.com. Let’s talk about your case. There’s no cost or obligation. We’ll help you get the money you and your family deserve for the injuries you’ve suffered. And remember: If we take your case, we don’t get paid unless you get paid.
