Workers' Compensation

Must I notify my employer of a work-related injury?

Colorado Workers' Compensation Colorado law requires you to notify your employer of an injury within four days. A judge may reduce some of your benefits if you didn’t give notice within the four day period.

Don’t believe your employer or insurance company if they tell you your claim is denied simply because you didn’t give the required notice within four days.

It is also important to know that most claims must be filed with the Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation within two (2) years of the injury. The sooner you report your injury, the better. There are many deadlines and exceptions to those deadlines in the Colorado workers’ compensation system. An experienced attorney can help you figure out whether your claim was filed on time.
