“What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance?”

Colorado Workers Compensation Attorneys


If you’re injured at your workplace and don’t have access to workers’ comp coverage, you have two options:

 

1.     Pursue benefits from your uninsured employer – They’re liable to offer you benefits an insurance company would have provided, plus a 25% penalty. Or you can also choose to file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer for the benefits you’re entitled to.

2.     Seek aid from the uninsured employers’ fund – Colorado has a safety net for injured workers under uninsured employers. This will help you pay some of your expenses including: medical expenses and wage loss. To be eligible, the injury should have occurred after January 1, 2020, while you were working for an uninsured employer. You must also have a conclusive order from a judge confirming your entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits.
