Financial Compensation to Support Your Recovery
Being injured at work can be incredibly frustrating. Whether you were performing job-related duties or simply injured on company property, you may be searching for a road to recovery and a path forward. Part of this process includes receiving workers' compensation benefits. If you are hurt at work, you may be entitled to benefits including:
Payment of your medical care which is reasonable, necessary, and related to your work injury
Payment of lost wages for the period of time a doctor has taken you off work for the injury
Payment for prescriptions related to the injury
A lump sum payment for permanent partial disability or permanent total disability.
Payment for mileage traveled to obtain medical care
Disfigurement benefits which are capped at $9,007 with small increases for cost of living adjustments
You can’t wait forever to pursue these benefits. Like every state, Colorado has deadlines on when to file a workers’ compensation claim. In Denver and elsewhere, you must file a workers' compensation claim within two years of the accident. Because injuries are not always immediately evident, the two-year time frame begins on the date when you became aware that you sustained injuries. With help from Mark A. Simon, you can file a claim efficiently so that you can seek the compensation you need as soon as possible.
Steps to Take After an Injury at Work
Mark. A Simon has navigated the maze of workers’ compensation many times. His clients know they deserve benefits after a workplace injury, but they often need guidance on how to take that first step. So how does the process work? Here is what you should do after you’ve been injured on the clock:
Report the injury to your employer. Do this as soon as you can. Don’t give your employer’s attorneys the opportunity to prove that your injury wasn’t caused on company property or during your shift.
Select a doctor. Seek necessary medical care so you can begin healing. Additionally, make sure to let your healthcare provider know that your injury occurred at work. Your doctor’s notes should indicate where and when the accident happened.
Seek representation. Your time to change doctors is limited.
In these situations, it can make all the difference to have a fearless, compassionate attorney in your corner.
How a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Help
Being injured on the job is different from any other kind of injury because you have to take your employer into consideration.

Access a Wide Range of Resources
