An overview of the Workers' Compensation System.
Nearly a century old, our system of Workers' Compensation laws are a trade-off between employees and employers about on-the-job injuries. Employees do not have to take their employers to civil court, or to show their employers are at fault, to be compensated for injuries. But the benefits employees can recover for these injuries are be limited. Employers must offer medical care and prompt disability payments, but they represent only a safety net.
If you have been injured on the job, there are generally three kinds of benefits available to you under the Colorado Workers' Compensation system: medical benefits, temporary benefits, and permanent benefits. Typically, these benefits will be handled and paid by the employer's Workers' Compensation insurance company.
