“What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ compensation insurance?”

If you’re injured at your workplace and don’t have access to workers’ comp coverage, you have two options:

 

1.     Pursue benefits from your uninsured employer – They’re liable to offer you benefits an insurance company would have provided, plus a 25% penalty. Or you can also choose to file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer for the benefits you’re entitled to.

2.     Seek aid from the uninsured employers’ fund – Colorado has a safety net for injured workers under uninsured employers. This will help you pay some of your expenses including: medical expenses and wage loss. To be eligible, the injury should have occurred after January 1, 2020, while you were working for an uninsured employer. You must also have a conclusive order from a judge confirming your entitlement to workers’ compensation benefits.

What Kind of Workers’ Compensation Do You Qualify For?

 Workers’ compensation benefits may include:

• Medical care – All the medical care and prescription costs that you need should be covered by your employer through their workers’ compensation insurance

• Medical mileage including to therapy and pharmacy visits 

• Temporary Partial Disability – If you can still work, but with limitations

• Temporary Total Disability – If you can’t work at all after the accident

• Permanent Total Disability - If you’re never able to earn any wages in the future.

• Permanent Partial Disability – If you still have limitations or disabilities after you reach maximum medical improvement from treatment.

The income you receive depends on your average weekly wage in the time leading up to the accident and whether you can work with restrictions following your injury. If you disagree with the insurer’s determination of your benefits, you have the right to contest the decision. An attorney for workers’ compensation may represent you.
