Who Actually Pays for Worker’s Compensation?

Are you wondering who’s paying your workers compensation?
 
Are you worried your earnings are being deducted to cover your workers compensation benefits?
 
In the State of Colorado, businesses are required to purchase workers compensation insurance if they have one or more employees. However, if you feel like you’re being misled, consult with a Vail workers compensation attorney today to ensure that your rights are protected. 
 
According to Colorado’s Workers’ Compensation Act, “Workers’ compensation insurance coverage is paid by the employer. Employers purchase insurance coverage through a commercial insurance carrier or, if qualified, through self-insurance programs. No portion of the premium may be deducted from an employee’s wages.” So, don’t worry!

According to Colorado workers compensation law, “you have two years from the date you were injured to file your claim.” The only exemption is if you have a good reason under the law that you couldn't file for up to three years, otherwise you could lose your benefits!
