If you’ve been injured on the job, your first instinct might be to trust the system to do what’s right. But when it comes to workers’ compensation, that can be a costly mistake. Many injured workers in Colorado settle for far less than they deserve—simply because they don’t know how to fight back.
Here are four essential steps to help you maximize your settlement:
1. Act Quickly – Report the injury and seek medical care right away. Delays can reduce your credibility.
2. Document Everything – Keep track of every detail related to your injury, treatment, and time off work.
3. Don’t Accept the First Offer – Insurers often start with lowball offers. You have the right to negotiate.
4. Hire an Attorney – An experienced Colorado workers’ compensation attorney can evaluate your case, identify overlooked benefits, and protect you from unfair tactics.
