·      Claiming a preexisting injury/illness was the cause of your injury

·      Arguing that your injury didn’t take place during work, or within the scope of your employment

·      Disputing the seriousness/severity of your injury or illness

·      Arguing that your claim was not reported or filed on time

·      Proving you were intoxicated on drugs or alcohol when the accident occurred

You May Think Your Employer Cares, But Business is Business.

You’d think your employer would do anything to help you if you were injured on the job. That’s not always the case. Businesses have to be concerned about their profits and losses, so many try to minimize the impact workers’ compensation injuries can have on their business.

It’s important to consult a workers’ compensation attorney in Colorado as soon as possible after an injury because you can bet your employer is doing the same - hiring an attorney to protect their bottom line. Many will work with their insurance company to undermine your injury claims.
