Colorado’s stunning landscapes and seasonal industries bring thousands of temporary workers to the state each year—from ski resorts and rafting companies to agricultural operations and summer festivals. But if you suffer a workplace injury while working one of these jobs, are you covered by workers’ compensation?
In most cases, yes. Colorado law requires nearly all employers to carry workers’ comp insurance, even for seasonal and part-time positions. If you’re injured while performing your job duties—and you’re classified as an employee—you may be entitled to medical benefits, wage replacement, and more.
Common injuries among seasonal workers include slips and falls, joint damage from repetitive tasks, frostbite, or even injuries from machinery. But not all employers are transparent about your rights. Some may even misclassify you as a contractor to avoid providing benefits.
