COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases May Qualify You For Worker’s Compensation

Did your work have the necessary personal protective equipment on hand during the COVID-19 outbreak? Nurses can be exposed to other infectious illnesses during their workday like HIV, and tuberculosis. 

One thing that nurses should never do is ignore their injuries in order to continue caring for their patients. You can't properly care for another person if you aren't in the shape to do so safely. Instead, get the care you need for your injuries so that you'll be able to return to caring for your patients once you've healed. You may need to seek workers' compensation coverage to help cover the costs of care and provide you with partial wage replacement until you can return to work.

Eligibility for Worker’s Compensation After Exposure to COVID-19 On-the-Job

Were you exposed to COVID-19 on the job and later tested positive?

Was personal protective equipment missing in your workplace?

Are you having trouble paying your bills because of your illness?

According to the Department of Labor and Employment for Colorado, “regulation is imperatively necessary for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare as ensuring operation of the workers’ compensation system is imperative to preserve the health of the citizens of Colorado.”

As reported cases of COVID-19 increase, it places a significant strain upon medical resources. Emergency rules are being promoted to increase access to telehealth services in order to assure injured workers maintain access to reasonable and necessary medical care while complying with physical distancing guidelines and mandates. COVID-19-related actions to promote physical distancing have disrupted workers’ ability to receive in-person care for their job-related injuries and illnesses. Continuity of care is essential to monitor the progress of recovery. Treatment delays impede recovery and may increase claims costs.

Can I Get Telehealth Reimbursement?

You should utilize telehealth wherever medically appropriate. Telehealth appointments are specifically allowed for return to work evaluations of essential employees. An in-person examination will not be required where either the injured worker or medical provider objects to such an examination.

When is the best time to hire an attorney?

You should hire an attorney when your case gets too complicated to handle on your own. For example, in any of these situations, you should contact a lawyer:

• Your employer denies your claim or you fail to receive your benefits promptly.
• Your employer's settlement offer doesn't cover all your lost wages or medical bills.
• Your medical issues prevent you from returning to your prior job, or from performing any work at all.
• You receive Social Security disability benefits.
• Your boss retaliates against you for filing a workers' comp claim. 
• You have a potential third-party claim.

How does the worker’s compensation benefit process begin?

1. Report the injury to your supervisor or employer immediately in writing;
2. Request to see a doctor and get a list of which doctors you’re allowed to see; and
3. Request and complete an employer’s first report of injury and or workers compensation claim form.

Until you report the injury and the claim form is returned to your employer, they're only under a limited obligation to provide benefits. A common mistake people make is waiting to report the injury until it becomes unbearable and they can no longer work.

What If I Want to See My Own Doctor?

According to Colorado.gov, “If you choose to seek your own medical care, it may result in nonpayment of medical benefits and you may be responsible for your own medical costs. If your employer does not direct you to a medical provider, you may be able to seek treatment from a medical provider of your choice.” Learn more!

Can I Change My Doctor?

You have a right to request a change of physician in the state of Colorado. In most cases, your employer will give you a list of physicians to choose from. If you suffered an on-the-job injury, your employer must give this list to you immediately upon notice of the injury. If you didn’t receive this form, you may be able to pick your own doctor.  If the form is given, the injured worker can switch to another doctor on the list within the first 90 days.

Employer Forcing You to Return to Work Before Recovery is Complete?

Is your employer manipulating the spirit of inclusive "return to work" policies? 

Is your employer forcing you to perform different tasks that utilize different skills - before your recovery is complete? Employees feel powerless to argue with their employers because they fear losing their jobs. This shouldn’t happen.

Colorado's Office of Risk Management and the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission both receive and process allegations and complaints when companies have violated fair employment practices. If you or a loved one has been forced back to work too soon following an on-the-job injury, consider speaking with an experienced workers' compensation attorney in Glenwood Springs.

How are Return to Work Policies Enforced?

The state of Colorado recommends that all companies define their "return to work" policy and remind employees about the stipulations of that policy regularly. Having guidelines in place before workers get injured can make the transition back to work easier on the employee and can potentially bring about substantial savings for the employer by avoiding unnecessary workers’ comp benefits.

However, some employers manipulate the spirit of inclusive "return to work" policies. Learn more!
