On a construction site or in a manufacturing plant, unsafe practices, dangerous machinery, and unrealistic expectations by employers can cause accidents. Constant lifting or lifting more weight than advisable can cause a back, neck or shoulder injury. Malfunctioning machines or machines without safety guards can injure a worker. A fall from a scaffold or a vehicle can cause multiple fractures, a brain injury or a spinal cord injury.
If you have been injured at work, remember: Colorado workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. Work injuries are covered no matter who is at fault.
If you have been injured at work, Attorney Jeffers will make sure you receive the medical treatment necessary for your recovery. Sometimes the injured worker will not be able to return to his or her former employment without retraining for a different job assignment. Other times, injured workers will return to work, but have to work under restrictions. Unfortunately, there are occasions when an employer will fire a worker simply because they were injured. This is illegal under Colorado law.
Regardless of how you were injured on the job, you have the right to discuss your case with a skilled, experienced Denver workers’ compensation lawyer. Colorado workers’ comp law attorney Mary Jeffers has extensive experience with workers’ comp and personal injury. As a former claims adjuster, she has the ability to evaluate claims quickly, and determine the need for additional treatment as well as the value of an injured workers’ claim.
