Western Colorado Work Related Injury Attorney
According to Colorado state and federal law, each employer has a legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe work place for employees. If you are injured on the job, typically your employer has workers' compensation insurance which will provide you with benefits to pay for medical care and to make up for your lost income.
However, workers' compensation insurance companies want to keep their claim costs low, so they often minimize the extent of injuries. Without the help of an experienced workers' compensation lawyer, you may not get all of the benefits you need to recover to the fullest extent possible.
The Law Offices of Paul Gertz, P.C. works diligently to help injured workers get all of the workers' compensation benefits they deserve.

Do You Have a Third Party Claim?
When a workplace injury is caused by a third party, such as a contractor or vehicle driver not employed by your company, you have a third party liability claim. This may enable you to obtain additional compensation for losses such as your emotional distress, loss of enjoyment and your full loss of income. In many cases, this compensation can exceed the value of the workers' compensation benefits you are entitled to.
