Like many communities in northern Colorado, the Lafayette area plays host to companies that operate within the state's oil and gas industry. The extraction of oil and gas can be a dangerous process, and hundreds of workers in the industry are injured each year. The team at Hoggatt Law Office, P.C. is proud to help injured oil and gas workers seek benefits under Colorado's workers' compensation system.

Our workers' compensation practice is not limited to the oil and gas industry. In fact, we handle a full range of workplace accident matters, including:

• Construction site injuries - Contractors, equipment operators, and other laborers in the construction industry are at a higher risk of suffering serious bodily harm due to the dangerous conditions that are often present in worksites. We can help workers address injuries that occur due to issues such as falling tools or materials, collapsing scaffolding, inadequate fall protection, trench collapses, electrocutions, being struck by heavy equipment, and any other safety concerns.
• Commercial transport and trucking injuries - Truck drivers, delivery personnel, and other workers involved in commercial transport face unique risks due to the long hours and varying road conditions. We can help victims of serious accidents involving commercial transportation vehicles address their medical bills and receive compensation for lost income.
• On-the-job motor vehicle accidents - When workers are driving while engaging in work-related activities, they may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits if injured in an accident. We can help people who are injured in car accidents while working get the medical care and financial assistance they need to recover.
• Injuries in fires or explosions - These dangerous situations can cause significant injuries for workers, especially those who are exposed to hazardous working conditions. We can help victims of explosions and other workplace tragedies seek proper medical treatment and ensure they receive wage benefits while recovering.
• Injuries caused by the failure of mechanical equipment - Machinery and other equipment used in the workplace that fail or malfunction can seriously injure workers. We will fight for victims of mechanical failures to ensure that their medical bills are paid and they receive wages while recovering from their injuries.
