Windsor Workers' Compensation Attorneys

Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Windsor, Colorado

Work injuries can have a major impact on the lives of Coloradans. When an injury occurs on the job, Colorado's workers' compensation laws provide benefits to help injured workers recover and return to work. However, navigating the process of filing a workers' compensation claim can be difficult. Understanding the types of benefits that may be available and how to access them is key to maintaining financial stability in these situations.

The team at Hoggatt Law Office, P.C. understands the workers' compensation laws that affect people who have suffered on-the-job injuries. We work to ensure that injured workers can receive medical benefits, wage benefits, and any other available benefits that will allow them to avoid financial difficulties while they are recovering.

Colorado Workers' Compensation Attorneys You Can Trust

Each year, thousands of Colorado workers are hurt on the job. While many are able to collect workers' compensation benefits without much of a hassle, others struggle to get the benefits they need. Employers and insurers may deny claims, delay payments, or even try to fire an employee for filing a workers' compensation claim.

At Hoggatt Law Office, P.C., we are prepared to help injured workers from any industry, including the gas and oil industry, the trucking industry, and the construction industry. We will work with you from the very beginning, making sure that your injury is reported properly and within the allotted timeframe. Our team will also help you seek the best possible medical care without jeopardizing your benefits. With our guidance, you may be able to collect compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, partial or total disability, vocational retraining, and other considerations.

We can assist with multiple types of work-related injuries, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries - Workplace accidents may cause a person to be struck in the head by falling objects, or they may hit their head on the ground in a fall. These injuries can cause damage to the brain, potentially leading to issues such as memory loss, cognitive impairments, balance and coordination issues, sensory processing disorders, and mood disorders such as depression or anxiety.
• Occupational diseases - Exposure to hazardous substances in the workplace can lead to a variety of health conditions. Workers will be eligible for workers' comp benefits if they contracted a disease while working or experienced health conditions that arose out of the work they performed.
• Repetitive stress injuries - Some work-related injuries can occur over time due to repetitive motion. Workers' compensation will cover conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, strained muscles, or other injuries that were caused by work-related activities.
• Back and neck injuries - Many occupations require heavy lifting or long hours in a seated position, which can cause injuries to the muscles or soft tissues in the neck and back. Spinal cord injuries can also occur in workplace accidents, and they can lead to severe pain, restrictions on range of motion, and permanent disabilities. Workers' compensation will cover medical treatments for these conditions, as well as rehabilitation services and compensation for lost wages if the worker is unable to perform their job duties while recovering.
• Fires and explosions - Industrial accidents can lead to serious workplace injuries, and fires and explosions can also occur in other settings, such as laboratories, factories, and offices. These incidents can cause burns or other serious injuries that may require extensive medical treatment. Workers' compensation will cover the costs of treatment for work-related fire injuries and provide benefits for lost wages or permanent disabilities.
