"Mathew Kaufman worked with me on getting a settlement for my workman's comp claim. He did his research, kept me in the loop and was very informative with everything. The whole team was very helpful and friendly. In the end we ended up settling the claim for a little more than I had anticipated which was great. He is a very smart, well-educated attorney and I would recommend him to anyone with a workman's comp claim. Thank you for everything Kaufman and Kaufman.”

Have You Been Overpaid Workers Compensation Benefits?

Legislation concerning the overpayment of workers’ compensation benefits in the state of Colorado may affect you. According to House Bill 21-1207, “the act defines ‘overpayments’ of workers' compensation benefits as money received by a claimant that:

• Is a result of fraud;
• Is the result of an error due only to miscalculation, omission, or clerical error asserted in a new admission of liability;
• Is paid in error or in excess of an admission or order that exists at the time that the benefits are paid to a claimant; or
• Results in duplicate benefits as specified in the act.”

Employer Failing to Provide You with Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

If an employer fails to carry workers’ compensation insurance, they may receive a cease-and-desist order against their business. This may require them to stop legal business operations until they have insurance.

The business may be subject to fines of up to $250 for every day they don’t have proper coverage. This fine could increase to $500 per day. If a workers’ compensation claim reaches a settlement prior to the penalty, the benefits payable to the employee may increase by 50% for failure to maintain insurance. This could be detrimental to the business.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by how complicated it can be to handle your case on your own, contact one of our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys in Colorado.

Make it Impossible for the Insurer to Deny Your Claim

The more documentation you can provide about the accident and your injury, the more difficult it will be for the insurer to deny your claim. Here are some things you can do to strengthen your claim: 

• Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible.
• When you report your injury, be as specific as possible about the circumstances of your accident. Provide everything when reporting your accident down to the last detail, including the time and place of the injury and how the accident happened. 
• When talking with your doctor, make sure to explain all your symptoms and your work limitations. Be honest and thorough. This will get vital information into your record, making it more difficult for the insurance company to deny the extent of your injury.
