You may have four basic benefits if you have been injured on the job: 1. The benefit of ongoing medical care for as long as reasonably necessary to help you recover. 2. The benefit of temporary disability benefits for the lost time from work due to your injury. 3. The benefit of an award for a scar or disfigurement, if any. 4. The benefit of a permanent impairment or disability award. In addition you have many other rights, including the right to a hearing when any problem has not been resolved to your satisfaction. Never assume your employer or the insurer is correct in their views or advice to you. Always review your rights in detail. Your recovery, your family, your employment future and your dollar compensation depend on your proceeding carefully. Call or e-mail our offices for a free consultation today. We've been handling cases for people in Colorado for over 25 years. We'll help you to obtain fair and proper benefits but only after you've reviewed with us and we've both decided it is what you need and that we can help you. So let's get together. Contact us today but it does take a consultation appointment to review all this in detail. Oh...there is one more thing...it is simple how we get paid our fees...only from the amount we collect for you! You put nothing down and we are in it for the duration of our agreement to represent you. This is called a contingency fee arrangement and it is the safest way to go under most circumstances since the legal fees exclusive of out of pocket costs are never a worry. Call for more information.
