And then sometimes they’re bad enough to be called catastrophic, because your life will never be the same. Serious brain injuries damaged spinal cord, paralysis, amputated limbs, or severe burns.

No one is mentally prepared for an injury of that magnitude, and sustaining an injury like that can have far more long-reaching mental and emotional effects than most people expect.

Often in catastrophic injury cases, it’s not difficult to convince a jury that you’ve been injured. The extensive damage speaks for itself, so you don’t need a lawyer who can explain your injuries. What you will need, however, is a lawyer who can create a thorough, comprehensive treatment plan for both physical and mental injuries so that you can be assured of getting the compensation that you deserve.

It’s far too easy to settle for less than you are owed, but unless you know how much money it will cost to be treated, you can’t possibly know what sort of payout is fair. One hundred thousand dollars may sound like a lot of money in the courtroom, but rising medical costs and expensive medical procedures will use up that kind of money faster than should be possible.

Without a representative who can fight to get you the full compensation that you’re owed, you may find that you can no longer work, and that you don’t have enough money to pay medical bills.

If you or someone you know has suffered a catastrophic injury due to someone else’s negligence, call an experienced lawyer today!

Those are easy to see, and easy to understand.

It’s far more difficult to understand the idea that small doses of a chemical over days, months, or years can cause serious health problems many years later. There’s no clear link.

In addition to making it hard for regular people to understand, it makes it extra hard for a court to make the connection. After all, that cancer could have come from anything. Do you smoke? Well, clearly it was the smoking.

No one wants to pay large amounts of money for someone’s else’s health care if they can avoid it, so companies will find every excuse not to pay you. Anything you do can become ammunition for them to use to deny you your payments.

The fact of the matter is that workers can easily be exposed to harsh, cancer-causing chemicals that may take five, ten, or even twenty years to cause cancer, but their progress is inexorable, and the cause-and-effect chain is made of steel.

If you suspect that you’ve been exposed to chemicals that may cause serious illnesses in several years, or if you’ve already developed an illness that you think was caused by chemical exposure on the job, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that you have someone on your side, advocating for you to get what rightfully belongs to you.

But what happens when you’re using a piece of equipment at work, and it breaks? If there’s no injury involved, you just report it to your boss and go on with your day, but what if that piece of equipment is responsible for you getting injured?

Companies never want to pay extra money to their employees if they can help it, so in cases like that, they’ll try to shift the blame. They may blame it on a manufacturer defect and claim that it isn’t their fault, or even try to say that the accident was nobody’s fault.

The fact of the matter is that if you get injured on the job for ANY reason, it’s somebody’s fault, and you deserve compensation.

The law is often confusing and difficult to understand, which is why if you’ve been injured by a piece of equipment, defective or not, you should contact an attorney experienced in workers’ compensation in order to help get the compensation that you deserve.

Don’t let corporate rhetoric stop you from getting compensated for your injury, especially if that injury prevents you from working in the meantime. Being injured can change your entire life, and you need to fight back!

Brain injuries have the problem of not being outwardly visible, so they can be very difficult to diagnose and treat, and even more difficult to convince others to pay for. To make matters even worse, many brain injuries don’t manifest immediately. So you can feel ‘fine’ after a concussion, but then hours later you may suddenly fall unconscious, or not be able to remember your name.

It’s much easier to get compensation for something like a broken leg, because everyone can see that the leg is obviously broken. But when it comes to brain injuries, there will always be someone who suspects that you are just ‘making it up’.

Symptoms can be as straightforward as loss of consciousness, or as subtle as mood swings, but both cases need extensive, expensive treatment.

That’s why it’s so important to have a good attorney on your side when you’re trying to get the compensation that you deserve for a work-related injury.

If you’ve suffered some sort of head trauma while on the job, you should really consider visiting a specialist to get tested for a brain injury. Some of the symptoms may be so subtle that you aren’t even aware of them. It often takes someone else to say, “You know, you’ve been acting really strange ever since…”

The longer you wait for treatment, the worse it can be!

The change was spurred by last month’s decision regarding the Uranium Mill at Shiprock, New Mexico, that determined the mill workers fell under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. Once this decision was in place, a survey was conducted that identified the additional plants that met the statutory definition of controlled radiation facility. These mills dated back as far as 1942, however the benefits may only extend to illness claims up until the year 2000.

The U.S. Department of Labor will be notifying eligible workers about potential benefits via mail. However, those workers from the mills who feel the new announcement may affect them may want to contact an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney to ensure that they receive the maximum amount of benefits and compensation.

This documentation is one of the single most important pieces of paper you will receive during your Colorado workers compensation claim, and unfortunately it doesn’t include all of the facts. When you receive the Final Admission of Liability, this is the paperwork that the insurance company is required to have to close your case. Typically, they don’t include any documentation regarding deadlines, or any of the other information you need to protect your rights. Enlisting the help of an experience Colorado workers compensation attorney, if you haven’t already done so during your claim process, is a must at this stage. If you have any permanent impairments resulting from your workplace injury, you simply cannot afford not to have an attorney to help you get the maximum benefits.

Facts Your Insurance Provider Will Not Tell You

• You must file an Objection to the Final Admission within 30 days from the date postmarked on the envelope or the date on the letter, whichever is earlier.
• Missing the deadline means you may be stuck with whatever the Final Admission of Liability States
• You must request a hearing or a Division Independent Medical Examination (DIME) within that 30 day period
• The insurance company will not, nor is it required to, provide the Objection to Final Admission or the Notice and Proposal to Select a DIME. You will have to secure these forms on your own, and have them submitted within the 30 day period, typically without exception
• If you choose to exercise your right to a DIME, your insurance company knows which doctors on the list will favor their case. You need an attorney with the same insider information to defend you during the selection process.

If you have received a Final Admission of Liability, or expect to reach your maximum medical improvement, and have not hired an attorney to represent you, now is the time.

What Happens Next?

Unfortunately, many people are a long way from feeling great when they hit this important milestone in their Colorado workers compensation case. You will see a doctor whose job it is to determine the level of your impairment. A rating is given that puts a value to the percentage of loss you have sustained as a result of the original injury. If your rating is severe enough, you may qualify for permanent disability at this time. Once your insurance provider knows the impairment rating, they will issue a Final Admission of Liability.

What if I Disagree With the MMI?

If you disagree with the doctor’s determination that you have reached your maximum medical improvement, you will have the ability to dispute the determination. It is best to enlist the help of an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney at this point, as contesting the maximum medical improvement determination can often be challenging to overcome. An application is required, and if granted you will have the opportunity to see an independent doctor for an evaluation.

There is no doubt that it can be significantly more difficult to obtain medical treatment as part of your workers compensation benefits once you move. The following steps should be done by your attorney to ensure there are no snags in your plans.

Step 1: Notify the workers compensation claims adjuster in writing of your move. Include your name, new address, new phone number and any other documentation needed.

Step 2: Contact your Colorado workers compensation claims adjuster to see if they have a preferred medical provider for the area you are moving to.

Step 3: Contact doctors in your new state to find one that will accept the Colorado fee structure and payment options for their services. Not all doctors will be willing to work with Colorado’s requirements, so you must shop around before your move.

Step 4: Obtain authorization from the Colorado workers compensation claims adjuster for out-of-state care with the doctor you have chosen.

Step 5: Complete your treatment with the new doctor. When you are released from his or her care, if you are diagnosed with a permanent disability be certain to follow the adjuster’s process for traveling back to Colorado to have your impairment rating determined. The adjuster will typically pay for this trip.

These actions are in response to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s reports showing that the milligram-per-person use of prescription opioids has increased dramatically in recent years. Typically, doctors increase the dosage when pain is not being managed, but this increase, combined with ongoing use, is what is most likely to be the cause of opiate addiction.

In Colorado workers compensation cases, chronic pain that is being treated by prescription painkillers is a trigger for the guideline that requires the patient’s urine to be tested. The downfall with the guidelines is that there is no specific dosage that calls for precautions to prevent addictions.

Washington state has led the way in making changes to prescribing guidelines, and it is likely Colorado will follow in Washington’s footsteps. Doctors in Washington are prohibited for increasing the daily opioid dose above a daily morphine equivalent of 120 milligrams. This increase is only to be used when the patient is not improving in functionality or without consulting with one of the state’s pain management experts. The reason for the consultation is to be sure that there is an agreement regarding the risk factors versus benefits.

If changes to the guidelines will negatively affect your pain management, consider consulting an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney.

Are you entitled to benefits for the injury, if you already agreed to be discharged as healed?

According to a recent case that went through the courts in Colorado, the answer may surprise you.

Elaine Loofbourrow worked as a manager in a fast food restaurant. While covering someone else’s shift, she injured her back. After a month of care, she was discharged and feeling great. Three months later the pain comes back, and her physician finds that she has a bulging and torn disc. The pain increases to the point her doctor said she can no longer work, and her employer’s insurance denied her claim.

Under previous guidelines and rulings, Ms. Loofbourrow would have been left in a bad spot, with no income or workers compensation benefits. But when she pressed the issue, the courts sided with her. The determination was that an injured worker that has reached maximum medical improvement may still have later issues related to the workplace injury. After a long court battle, she was able to receive the benefits that she deserved.

If you or someone you care about are in a similar situation, and having ongoing difficulties from a workplace injury that had reached maximum medical improvement, don’t give up hope. With the help of a qualified Colorado workers compensation attorney, you may still receive the benefits you need and deserve.

The majority of employers are required to provide a list of medical providers for you to choose from. If you choose poorly, or your treatment isn’t going as planned, you may have options. You are generally permitted one change of doctors during your treatment, as long as it is from the list provided by your employer. You must properly notify and record the change, so seek the help of the Division of Workers Compensation or an experienced workers compensation attorney to assist you. If you fail to submit the proper paperwork and notify the proper parties, your coverage may be terminated.

If you didn’t receive a list of providers to choose from, you will need to request a change. To start with, ask your employer or your employer’s insurance company if there is another medical professional you may see. If they permit a change, be sure to get notification of the change in writing. They are not required by law to change providers at your request.

Do not miss any scheduled appointments during the wait for a change of doctors. If you miss a scheduled appointment, you will be sent a notification of rescheduling. If you do not receive this notification, contact the insurer or the medical provider for rescheduling information, as missing the rescheduled appointment could result in the termination of your claim and future benefits.

When you are injured on the job, you must notify your employer of the accident. The company then has ten days to report the injury to its insurance company. Once the accident is reported, the workers compensation claim process begins.

If your company fails to report the injury to their insurance, does not provide you with an Admission of Liability, or does not have workers compensation insurance in place, you must file a claim with the Colorado Division of Workers Compensation Customer Service Unit.

Navigating the waters of filing a claim if your company denies liability for your injury can be challenging, especially if your accident has left you seriously injured. If you find yourself dealing with a resisting company, an experience Colorado workers compensation attorney can help you get a resolution that covers your medical and financial needs.

1. First, decide if your injury is a “life or limb” threatening injury. A life or limb threatening injury is an injury severe enough that it could cause death or serious damage to your body if not treated immediately. If your injury is life or limb threatening, seek medical attention immediately. If not, notify your employer verbally before seeking medical attention.
2. Colorado law requires you to notify your employer of your injury in writing within four days of your injury. Even if you had verbal communication about the injury, you must send written notification within four days.
3. See the medical professional your employer tells you to see if they tell you before or at the time of the injury which medical facility to go to.  If they do not tell you to see a particular provider, you may choose whomever you prefer.
4. Seek the assistance of a Colorado workers compensation attorney if you have any difficulties during this process.

Failure to report your injury in a timely manner does not mean that you cannot make a workers compensation claim. You can be penalized up to one day of compensation per day that passes before you report the injury in writing. If your employer challenges your choice of medical providers and did not direct you to a specific provider, seeking the help of an attorney may help you recoup any medical expenses you incurred.

The definition of an independent contractor, per the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Division of Workers’ Compensation Employee Guide is providers of labor or services that are:

• Free from control and direction over the means and method of performing work
• Customarily engaged in an independent trade, occupation, profession or business related to the work being performed

You may think that if you have a contract signed with the employer stating that you are an independent contractor, or if you receive a 1099 from the company for tax purposes that you are unable to make a workers compensation claim on the basis of being a contractor. However, the documentation may not rule over the facts of how the work is done.

If you are indeed an independent contractor, you are limited to $15,000 in damages if you are injured on the job and file a civil suit, so it is very important to speak with a qualified Colorado workers compensation attorney if you are injured on the job and listed as an independent contractor.

Some expenses you might incur for services related to finding a new line of work include:

Career Counseling

You may need to meet with a licensed career counselor or other type of occupational therapist tohelp you explore your goals and opportunities. Often these services include personality assessments, transferable skills analysis and testing and interview coaching.

Education and Training

It may be possible that the type of work you can now do is completely unrelated to what you did prior to your injury. For example, if you were injured on a construction site and can now only do work that requires you to sit at a desk, you may need to return to school for a degree or certification to enable you to secure a position in fields with suitable requirements.

Resume and Job Search Services

If you are changing industries due to your accident, you may need the help of a professional recruiter, staffing firm or resume writer. There may be costs associated with the services these professionals provide, and it may be possible to have these fees covered.

If you need assistance with a major career change after a worker’s compensation related injury, contact the Law Office of Mary Jeffers today.

During the DIME process, a separate independent doctor will review your records, perform an examination and give his or her opinion. This process allows you the option of second opinion, and may be the only option for seeking additional treatment after being released from your physician’s care and determines if you were assigned the correct impairment. When you consider the fact that the impairment you were given will determine the amount you receive in workers compensation, this second opinion can have a lifetime impact.

Having a Colorado workers compensation attorney during the DIME process is a must. If you and the insurer cannot agree on a doctor, the Division of Workers Compensation will randomly choose a panel of three doctors. You will have the ability to strike one name off the list, and the insurance carrier will also strike one name off the list. The remaining name is the physician that will perform the DIME exam.

The problem with this is that insurance providers typically know which doctors will side with the worker, and which will side with the insurance company. The insurance company will strike the name from the list that will most benefit you. Having an attorney that specializes in workers compensation may be the difference between choosing a fair doctor, or unknowingly selecting one that will be detrimental to your case.

There is some debate on how minimum wage increases effect the local economy. Some experts believe that the increase of minimum wage encourages spending and boosts the local economy, while others believe that the increase in wages decreases the number of hires a company will make, thus having a negative effect.

In addition to the increase in Colorado minimum wage, businesses will also see their Colorado workers compensation insurance rates increase in 2012. When combining these two, it’s possible the job market may not grow as much as some would hope in 2012.

Regardless of the effect the increases have on the businesses, the news is good for those currently working in minimum wage positions. The yearly earnings of a person making minimum wage in 2012 will come out to $15,891.20, which is $4,752.20 more than the federal poverty level established in 2010 by the Census Burea.

A report was issued by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board last year that stated that Xcel (the parent company and RPI failed to implement proper procedures for the safe handling of flammable liquids along with the hazards of static discharge. They were also found to not have proper emergency response and rescue or fire prevention procedures in place.

In addition to the settlements made to the victim’s families, the company is required to pay a $100,000 penalty to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and is placed on probation with OSHA for five years. Should another willful safety lapse happen, the company could be fined up to $2.5 million.

The plea deal approved by the judge on December 19, 2011 dismissed the charges against Phillipe Goutagny and a second company executive. The deal that was struck requires the surviving family members to drop any lawsuits that sought damages against RPI.

This case was a rare example of a corporation being charged criminally for safety violations, and will hopefully serve as a valuable lesson for other companies in regards to employee safety standards and practices.

Insurance companies don’t make money by paying money. It’s been said many a time that insurance is the one service for which you pay, that you hope never to have to use. In many cases, personal insurance companies will raise rates or cancel insurance coverage the moment you use it. While that’s not the case with mandated workers compensation insurance, adjusters will go out of their way to find reasons to deny a workers compensation claim. Again, they don’t make money if they’re doling it out and make no mistake: the insurance industry is a business.

Denial of a claim can be disastrous for the injured party. It means you have to pay all those medical bills yourself, and you aren’t entitled to any compensation for your injuries, which means if you’re not able to work, you could be in real trouble.

However, just because you’re on the receiving end of a denied workers compensation claim, it doesn’t mean the game is over. A good Denver workers compensation attorney will step up to the plate and fight for your corner—the attorney can help you battle against the claim, and it is true that the attorney is your friend. The difference between an attorney and an insurance company is that the attorney does, in fact, make money by fighting for what you deserve.

The system in place for workers compensation is extremely complex and difficult to navigate, and isn’t one that anyone should tackle without expert assistance. It’s full of loopholes that have served the purpose of allowing unscrupulous individuals to commit instances of workers compensation fraud, and has all too often allowed insurers and employers to escape having to pay out altogether.

Take, for example, the idea of what physician you can see if you are injured at work. Many people don’t realize that you might not have the option to see your family doctor or primary care physician as part of a workers’ compensation claim—your employer has the right to determine which doctor you can see.

There is also the factor of claim denials.  Many people might just give up if their claim is denied, but this doesn’t have to be the end of the story. You can fight to have the claim reviewed again, and indeed, many claims adjusters will go out of their way to find reasons to deny your claim.

Keep in mind also that compensation laws vary from state to state. Colorado workers comp may be very different from the laws in another state, and even if it’s similar, the devil, as they say, is in the details.

There are many other reasons why workers comp isn’t something you should tackle alone. A qualified Denver workers compensation attorney knows all of the ins and outs, all of the pitfalls and traps that are inherent in the system, and they can help you to avoid or overcome these road bumps by offering advice and help in dealing with insurance companies and employers.

Early records of workers compensation systems date as far back as ancient Sumeria, in approximately 2040 B.C.E. At this time, the law of Ur provided for monetary compensation for personal injuries to specific workers’ body parts. By the industrial revolution with the advent of British Common Law, there were three aspects (the “unholy trinity of defenses”) that went into deciding if an injury could be compensated.  These were:

• Contributory Negligence
• The “Fellow Servant” rule
• The “assumption of risk.”

It was around this time that the concept of mandated workers’ compensation insurance came into being. By 1880, more and more countries had come to accept the necessity of legally mandated workers’ comp.  It was 1906 by the time the United States Congress began to get the message and pass laws that would provide for injuries on the job, but placed the laws in the hands of individual states, a system that is in place even today.

The amazing thing is that the modern system of workers’ compensation across the board in the United States is loosely modeled on that original Prussian system from 1880. Since 1990, however, major reforms have continually took place in American workers compensation law, which has served to provide more benefits for a wider range of injuries, but has also become far more complicated to navigate, with many more loopholes, making legal experts a necessity for navigating the waters.

There are, of course, possible explanations. It’s unlikely, but perhaps the driver didn’t realize they’d hit someone or something. They could’ve been distracted, otherwise impaired, or simply didn’t register the impact. They could, very likely, be terrified of the consequences they must face when they do own up and are simply running away.

Certainly there will be consequences, and not just the potential criminal charges that might be filed. There could also be civil suits wherein the family contacts an attorney specialized in automobile accidents and files for compensation against the accused.

However, regardless of these consequences, the frightened driver’s conscience might eventually get the better of them, and they could turn themselves in. That would be a best case scenario, as the battle will go easier for them in court if they have stood up and admitted to their wrongdoing. We can certainly hope that this is the case here. One would hate to think that this is a case of someone who killed another person and didn’t care.

There are a lot of chemicals used in the fracking process to release natural gas from its rock prison deep within the Earth. Many of these chemicals—those common to the process—are well known and well described. Unfortunately, others, such as aldehyde, which is in both cilantro and formaldehyde, are not so well articulated. As it stands, many natural gas drilling companies are citing “trade secrets” when asked to reveal what chemicals they use.

The Colorado Oil and Gas Commission is holding a meeting, given this fact, to discuss the implementation of a new regulation that would require natural gas fracking companies to reveal and describe every chemical used in their process, as well as the percentage by volume of each chemical used.

Fracking companies have really taken advantage of their status as job providers and as providers of renewable alternative energy sources to get away with a lot of things that other companies don’t. Unfortunately, we have let them for the same reasons. It might be high time for government regulators to take a closer look at how these businesses operate, to better and more closely regulate their actions and methods, and protect not only the citizens who live near these plants, not only the environment around, but the actual workers who may experience personal injury due to the chemicals and processes with which they have to deal on a daily basis.

While the boost to local economies by natural gas drillers is huge, we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the need for safety and sanitation regulations and oversight that need to be imposed.

Even as unemployment rates fall to their lowest level in 2 ½ years, there are roughly 25 million Americans looking for work right now, and only roughly 3 million jobs available. That’s a huge discrepancy, and an economic factor that could trigger catastrophic effects, including a state-by-state re-examination of the existing workers compensation laws.

Part of the problem is that many injured workers end up out of work for long enough that their jobs have to be filled, and aren’t available when they want to go back. The existing jobs may not match their qualifications, skills, or desires, leading them to join the ranks of the under- or unemployed.

While the number of jobs are increasing, they need to more than double on a monthly level—300,000 new jobs must be added monthly—for levels to get back to normal within the next five years. This isn’t something that’s happening right now. Since the workers compensation system contributes to extended unemployment benefits, this is putting a massive strain on things.  Unfortunately, given the current climate and situation, it doesn’t look like a simple solution is in sight. One thing is for certain: the system will be examined closely if things don’t change soon, and that could be trouble for workers comp.

In light of that rather bleak scenario, one of the major workers comp insurers in Colorado, Pinnacol Assurance, has put forth a proposal that it transfer from half-government ownership to a completely privately owned mutual assurance company. While the company would be privately owned, the state would still get a 40% subsidy, which would be something of a financial windfall.

Successfully pulling this off would see Colorado joining but a few other states which have made the leap to privatizing workers compensation insurance, Nevada and Virginia among them.

Now, however, a panel appointed by the governor has many questions about the proposal which may stall it from going through. The questions involve whether it is legal for the governor and Colorado lawmakers to authorize such a deal, and whether it could be challenged in court. In addition, allowing Pinnacol to go private could potentially create a conflict-of-interest for lawmakers who currently sit on the company’s board of directors.  Provisions would have to be made for these people to avoid such a legal pitfall.

It’s a tense and interesting situation, since Pinnacol currently holds a 56% stake in the overall Colorado workers compensation business.

Sure, this doesn’t directly affect Colorado, but it’s very encouraging news, as several states have now joined the ranks of those who are bringing rates down instead of raising them. The landscape for workers compensation was starting to look somewhat scary for a time, as states were pushing in some cases as high as twenty percent—sometimes even higher—increases in workers compensation rates. Colorado itself raised rates in 2011.

If more states are reducing the costs of workplace and personal injury insurance on workers, this is a hopeful sign that the times may be looking up.

Higher costs are bad all around—they equate to higher profits for insurance companies, but more hardship for workers, who have to all-too-often bear the costs in the form of fewer raises from employers, and sometimes even pay cuts and freezes, which leads to lower employee morale, which inevitably leads to more workplace injuries and thus to more workers compensation suits. As the number of compensation suits rises, workers compensation attorneys have to work harder to get their clients the payout they deserve, as insurance claims adjustors work equally hard to avoid having to pay out.

It’s a vicious cycle, and if insurance companies as well as state governments are willing to let the costs associated drop, things may indeed be looking up for all of us.

The most recent of these (thankfully minor, so far) eruptions occurred on November 13, when police got into several altercations with protestors that were described as “shoving matches.”

When the dust cleared, three protestors were arrested and charged with felony assaulting police officer charges. At least one of the protestors has a record of arrests associated with the Occupy movement, both in Denver and in other cities.

It doesn’t seem a stretch to mention that passive resistance has gone a bit too far when it ceases to be passive—in this case, protestors blocked the police from leaving, and then surrounded their car, a dangerous prospect both for the police and the protestors.

At least two police officers suffered personal injuries in the altercations. One was hit over the head with an unknown object and taken to the hospital; a second suffered a knee injury.

What purpose do these sorts of acts serve? It seems that what may have started off as a good idea has somehow morphed into something darker and more dangerous. Few of the protestors have been able to articulate exactly what it is they are protesting, and arrests, violence, and injuries seem to be increasing at an alarming rate. Personal injury lawyers appreciate the potential business, but things are getting out of hand.

Many of the protestors claim to be peaceful; engaging in shoving matches with police who are trapped and unable to escape safely isn’t likely what Gandhi would’ve considered ideal passive resistance.

The current proposal would reduce benefits received from the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, capping benefits for recipients who are of retirement age at the level of benefits they would receive as retirees anyway. The effort is clearly a cost savings measure, to reduce the overhead the government faces from paying out these benefits, likely in the face of rising workers’ compensation insurance rates.

Unfortunately, as with many hastily drawn legal proposals, it doesn’t take a good workers compensation and personal injury attorney to spot a few flaws in this proposal. For example, retirement benefits are intended to support well and healthy retirees. Medicare doesn’t always cover the costs inherent with such things as physical therapy, surgery, and other expensive recovery necessities that arise when a worker suffers a serious injury on the job.

But in order to save money, we will remove those necessary benefits, reducing the payout to standard retirement benefits and leaving seriously injured workers with no way to pay their medical bills.

Other critics have said that the changes will damage recipients while not saving nearly enough to make a difference, and that a more comprehensive and far-reaching overhaul is needed; one that would reduce fraud and waste and not rob Peter to pay Paul.

During the disaster, all but a few dozen workers were evacuated.  Those workers, dubbed the “Fukushima Fifty,” were the cause of much controversy and praise by lay people and media everywhere, as they stayed in clearly dangerous situations to try and stave off the oncoming disaster.

Now, over half a year later, a veritable army of technicians, plumbers, electricians, and laborers, all clad in radiation suits, have the unenviable task of cleaning up this disaster, a process which could take years. The damage is nigh unimaginable: tens of thousands of people may never be able to go back to their homes due to radioactive contamination, and no matter how careful the workers are, there are bound to be on-the-job injuries resulting from physical exertion and exposure to radiation and other toxic substances. Still, the Japanese government points out that even getting this far represents major progress, a step forward that will eventually lead to cleanup of the area.

Preliminary reports claim that while a cold shutdown of the plant may happen this year, it will take as long as thirty years—three decades—to completely and safely decommission the power plant.

And yet, here, in the mist of this glum outlook, Ohio’s Bureau of Workers Compensation has announced that it is offering massive discounts to workers comp for new businesses. This is fantastic news for Ohio, and it is an example to which other states can look for ways to stimulate their own economy and job market.

Under the plan, qualified new businesses can gain an immediate (though temporary) 25% reduction on workers compensation insurance for up to two years, or can enroll in a longer term program that, while not guaranteed, can reduce rates up to a whopping 51%.  This second option is normally only available to businesses that have been in operation for at least a year or more, but under the new program it’s available immediately to qualifying businesses.

Everyone is looking for ways to save money these days, and everyone is looking for a magic button to push that will fix the job market. Folks, this looks like a step in the right direction.  If more people have jobs, that means more money flowing into the workers compensation system, which will result in lower premiums overall, and less harsh restrictions on what kinds of claims can be filed—if you are injured at work, your workers compensation attorney will have an easier time getting you the benefits you deserve, meaning less money in legal fees.

Solutions like this are good all around—states all over the country should look at Ohio’s example.

The article calls workers compensation a “shakedown,” and claims that “The worker, employer, and costumer all suffer from inordinate costs incurred by these required protection fees.”

This sort of claim is outrageous and likens workers compensation insurance to some kind of organized crime syndicate, out to break your legs if you don’t pay them to protect you from having your legs broken. Not only does it marginalize an important protective system that helps thousands of workers every year recover from grievous injuries without ending up on the streets, it marginalizes those personal injury attorneys who fight to get the compensation injured workers deserve.

The article claims as well that insurers factor in “absurd risk-multipliers,” but the logic is unsound, for the author fails to take into account factors such as the sheer numbers of fraudulent claims filed every year which cost the system millions of dollars, thus requiring these risk multipliers to be factored into the costs.

It’s true that insurance adjusters will fight tooth and nail too often to avoid paying out the due compensation the injured parties deserve. This is why workers compensation attorneys exist—to make sure that the insurance companies pay out their due when injuries happen. But in an economic climate such as this, to claim that workers compensation—an institution that has existed for a very long time without being faulted for the ills of the world—is directly responsible, is uneducated and inflammatory.

Penalties for insurance fraud (which is really what workers compensation fraud is) can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, and jail time.  In this case, the paramedic was sentenced to anywhere from 2 to 36 months of probation for his crime.

Probation.  Not jail time, just probation.

While clearly the judge in the case had a rationale for this light sentence (which could’ve had something to do with the fact that the accused admitted in February that he had made up the story) it’s still very troubling.  Many people have decried the nationwide increases in workers compensation rates as unfair to employers and employees.

Well, folks: episodes like this are why it happens.

Every year, fraudulent insurance claims filed (and make no mistake—there are hundreds every year) cost the system millions. That millions has to be made up somewhere, and unfortunately for all of us, the honest workers are the ones who have to suffer. Not only that, but personal injury attorneys who represent those victims end up charging more, due to the need to work longer and harder to get even honest claims through, as claims adjustors get more and more stringent about what they will accept as a legitimate claim.

Insurance and workers comp fraud is not a path to easy money. It’s not a victimless crime.

This report, which compares the cost of motor vehicle accidents to the cost of traffic congestion, reveals that the average cost of a fatal motor vehicle crash is a whopping six million dollars.  This estimated cost is based on eleven elements, including:

• property damage
• lost earnings
• loss of household activities
• medical costs
• emergency services
• travel delays
• vocational rehabilitation
• lost time at work
• administrative costs
• legal costs
• pain and lost quality of life.

Granted, some of these components are ephemeral and difficult to place hard values on—travel delays and pain and lost quality of life, for example.  Others are part (legal costs) are part of what we’re talking about here. But even still, there are in that list millions of dollars’ worth of real costs inherent.

People tend to villainize civil lawyers based on the fact that their business revolves around finances. However, few have the same attitudes around other high-paying professions. Why is it a crime in the eyes of the public that lawyers wish to make a living off of their skills?

Yes, we live in a litigious society at the moment. There’s no doubt about that. But this new report by AAA really hammers home the fact that lawyers serve an important part in protecting the rights of those injured. An auto accident would have the same costs without a personal injury attorney to represent the injured, but the injured wouldn’t have anyone to make sure that some of those costs go to the right person.

Sometimes environmental laws go a bit too far; few people could effectively argue that point. However, they do exist for a good reason, and that’s to protect people who could be exposed to dangerous substances, which includes radioactive elements. This particular injunction revolves around violation of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, which involves animals’ exposure to the substances, but if the mining efforts are that dangerous to animals, doesn’t that also make them dangerous to the humans who would be working to mine the materials?

Energy is a prime hot-button issue these days—we’re trying to lessen our dependence on foreign and fossil fuel energies while at the same time continue to be environmentally conscious. We’ve seen the virtual wars that have erupted over the natural gas drilling process known as fracking; this sort of energy violation can be even more disturbing and disruptive.

Personal injury attorneys need to be ever-vigilant for these sorts of issues; all-too-often the government and smaller corporations are too eager and quick to tackle what seems like a fast and efficient solution to a problem without doing proper due diligence and examining the potential pitfalls and dangers of said solutions. Just because a rich deposit of uranium is known to exist somewhere, this doesn’t mean we should immediately drop a diamond-bit drill into the ground and dig it up without evaluating environmental concerns.

This is of vital importance to attorneys in the personal injury and workers compensation fields. The reason for this, which most people don’t realize, is the fact that company morale is an important factor in the number of workers compensation claims faced by a given company. The lower employee morale is, the less productive and more careless employees tend to be. Unhappy people are more prone to accidents that cause injury, and they also tend to be less healthy in general, which makes their bodies more physically prone to injury, including major injuries that can lead to workers compensation and disability claims.

Higher corporate  workforce morale, on the other hand, results in happier employees, who are emotionally and physically healthier and tend to take greater pride in their work, leading to more careful efforts that result in lower injuries and fewer claims against the company. We live in a time when workers compensation insurance rates are skyrocketing, which leads employers to lower profits and a more difficult time.

Unfortunately, lower profits all-too-often lead companies to try and do less with more, and employee morale gets lost in the shuffle of “necessity.” This is a bad thing—the backbone of any corporation is its workforce, and their happiness should always be a priority for employers. It’s important in light of surveys like the Denver Post’s for employers to step back and look to see if they can do something different or better to do right by their workers.

To that end, some companies are adopting wellness programs for their employees. Such programs, which can offer lifestyle coaching and counseling, exercise programs and facilities, weight-loss and smoking cessation workshops, and other such health-related benefits, can help to cut insurance costs in the long run. In addition—and perhaps more importantly—they can contribute directly to the morale of employee staff, which carries with it intangible benefits which in the long run will reduce the number of workers compensation claims filed.

The practical reasons for this are obvious: employees that take part in these wellness programs tend to be healthier and more resilient to injuries and illnesses from which less healthy workers would require a long recovery period, and its accompanying compensation claim. The healthier a body is, it tends to be all the more resistant to disease and injury.

The less visible reason for this is just as valid: employees who are offered wellness programs tend to view these programs as great perks of the job. This increases employee morale, which increases emotional health, and in turn results in a staff that is less likely to make mistakes that result in personal injury claims at work.

It’s true that implementing these programs is often a not-inexpensive prospect at the outset; however, the long-term gains far outweigh the initial expense, and the introduction of perks such as wellness programs will save far more money in the long run than they cost to implement and get off the ground. If nothing else, avoiding constant run-ins with workers compensation attorneys is a benefit to employers in and of itself!

The first bit of bad news that comes with this is the concern that we might see more and more denied cases of workers compensation claims, because when insurance companies claim that they have to raise rates to cover expenses, that sometimes means they get more strict and stringent in the coverage they provide, and how and when they provide said coverage. In such a situation, it’s vital to have a strong and qualified workers compensation attorney to fight to get you the coverage to which you are entitled by law.

The second concern that comes with this news is that employers may find ways to pass these increased costs on to their workers. This could mean reduced raises or pay freezes, hiring freezes, or even layoffs and furloughs, as more expense on an employer generally means the employer is going to find a way to offset said expense.

Few employers are willing to take continued hits to their bottom line, regardless of their overall profit.

These issues are important to workers compensation attorneys because as employers reduce raises, institute pay freezes, and engage in hiring freezes and layoffs, employment conditions tend to degrade. This is the vicious cycle of the “do more with less” attitude that seems prevalent in many workplaces today.  Of course, as employment conditions degrade, work-related dangers and injuries increase, whether it is from low morale or physical poor conditions. It then becomes necessary for workers compensation attorneys to be vigilant and look out for the rights of the worker.

Employers are required to pay premiums to insurance companies to cover this exact purpose. Unfortunately, it’s a sad fact of life that insurance companies don’t like to pay out, and many people end up needing the services of a workers compensation attorney to collect.

A recent editorial in the Las Vegas Review-Journal discusses two incidents where the workers compensation system has failed.

The first of these incidents involves a courthouse security guard who was shot and killed on the job. His son applied for benefits, and was denied because it was claimed there was no proof that the deceased man was in fact a public safety officer on the job at the time. The second incident involves a man who survived a tornado after heroically attempting to save the lives of several people on his shift. He was found impaled under a pile of rubble, many of his bones crushed, and he spent months in a coma before beginning the long road to recovery.

He was denied workers compensation on the grounds that everyone was endangered by the tornado, not just him.

Does this, then, mean that nuclear power plant employees exposed to radiation during a meltdown aren’t eligible for benefits because the radiation endangers everyone?

Incidents like this are exactly why workers compensation attorneys exist: to protect and fight for the rights of clients injured on the job.

Every so often, something tragic occurs that hammers home the need for these new laws. Such an incident occurred on Friday night, when a Homer, NY, football player died following a head injury during a game.

What’s worse is the article points out that this is not, in fact, an isolated incident. It says, in fact, that a “handful” of students die every fall from brain injuries related to sports. It makes one wonder if these sorts of things have always happened, and we only now have the media technology to draw attention to it, or if sports have actually become that much more violent than they once were.

In any case, this is an important reason why personal injury attorneys exist. It’s not just about gaining compensation for clients who have suffered injuries at work, in sports, or elsewhere. It’s about drawing attention to these sorts of problems. The scrutiny is increasing on this particular issue. Are we doing enough to protect our athletes, and particularly our student athletes? Many of these kids have bright futures ahead of them. It’s wrong for even one to be snuffed out due to a bad hit on a football field.

The cry that insurance fraud is a victimless crime is as laughable as the claims of those who engage in file sharing that they aren’t hurting anyone. These people, some of whom fancy themselves modern day Robin Hoods, think that they are sticking it to “the man,” hurting only the evil corporate empires that so unfairly rule our lives.

The truth is far more severe. The more money insurance companies have to pay out in insurance claims, the higher insurance rates climb. It gets to the point where people who genuinely need the insurance services simply cannot pay their premiums, or where companies are forced to lay off workers due to the high workers compensation rates they must pay.

It doesn’t matter how good your workers compensation attorney is if you are unemployed; without work, there is no workers compensation. Without insurance, there is no insurance settlement.

This is the legacy of those who engage in insurance fraud. It’s not a victimless crime by any stretch of the imagination, and only the most selfish individuals would believe otherwise.

Insurance companies are easy to demonize these days. Insurance is sometimes referred to as the one service that you pay for and then hope to never use. But times are tough all around, and profit vs. overhead is not always cut-and-dried. Insurance companies, despite seemingly high profits, have had a rough go of it in our economy, just like most other sectors.

In some ways it’s a vicious cycle. As the economy fluctuates, work forces dwindle as unemployment rises. Companies are trying to do more with less, which results in smaller payrolls, and in return, smaller payouts to insurance companies, who see smaller profits, and can support their own overhead less easily, which leads to them raising rates…

…Which leads to companies further reducing the workforce; it goes on.

Another, unforeseen consequence is that rates of workers’ compensation claims are on the rise as working conditions become more difficult due to these reduced work forces. Workers compensation attorneys are as busy as ever—indeed, busier in some cases—as workers become more desperate to either hold on to their jobs, get the compensation they feel is due to them, or simply try to get the funds to make ends meet while they deal with what could be a long-term debilitating injury.

Meanwhile, there seems no end in sight to the rate hikes. In such a situation, all we can do is ensure that the insurance companies are paying back the services for which their clients pay them.

It seems that the battle for the legalization of marijuana won’t leave any stone untouched as a potential battleground. Who would have thought that marijuana and workers’ compensation would ever go hand in hand?

This particular case began with auto insurance companies filing against being forced to pay benefits going towards medical marijuana—the bill currently introduced to the senate would in fact prohibit insurance companies from paying for medical marijuana.

Initially, additional language was introduced into the bill that would deny workers’ compensation funding for the drug as well. Now, however, an entirely new bill is expected to be brought before the Michigan legislature, which would tackle the issue of medical marijuana and workers’ compensation all on its own. This law, like the proposed auto insurance one, would not only allow insurance companies to deny coverage for medical marijuana, it would prohibit coverage for the drug in workers’ compensation cases. Michigan’s insurance industry backs such a proposed law, according to the Insurance Institute of Michigan.

In some ways the bill makes sense—commercial health insurers are already prohibited under Michigan law from paying for medical marijuana. However, when it comes to a change in workers’ compensation law in one state, other states could follow suit, and this means that Colorado and Denver workers’ compensation attorneys have to watch the outcome of this case.

One thing is certain: the battle over the legalization or de-criminalization of marijuana, be it for medical or personal use purposes, is far from over, and attorneys need to be vigilant for the headlines in this ongoing fight.

Franklin, it seems, was working a second job while collecting compensation benefits for an injury at his primary employment, a process known as double-dipping. Finding out that a client has been fraudulently collecting compensation claims can be a workers’ comp attorney’s worst nightmare. It can open up all manner of problems, not just for the client, but for the attorney as well. Imagine what could happen if the courts feel that the attorney has been in collusion with the client! This is why it’s so important for attorneys to do their homework.

This isn’t to say that an attorney should immediately distrust their client—on the contrary; it’s vital for attorneys and clients to trust one another for the relationship to work. But while attorneys make their living knowing the law inside and out, they should never be blinded by their need to trust their client. If something seems off, the qualified workers’ compensation lawyer should always keep a clear and level head, and not be afraid to question their client about the unusual claim or odd behavior.

Advise your clients on the proper behavior, and advise them against attempting to defraud workers compensation systems. No matter how easy or good an idea it seems, the possibility of getting away with it isn’t worth the consequences of failure.

Companies who refuse to abide by these sorts of rulings—as Cotter has over the course of this embattled issue—end up costing themselves more in the long run than they would spend just enacting the cleanups to begin with. How much has Cotter spent in time, man-hours, and money defying the cleanup orders when they could’ve just enacted the cleanups in the first place? Meanwhile citizens’ groups have filed lawsuits against the company, and though Colorado’s water and sewage treatment system claims it can successfully filter out the Uranium, fears remain.

As far as how this relates to workers’ compensation attorneys? There have to date been no workers’ compensation issues related to exposure to toxic chemicals, but isn’t this, too, a possibility?  Isn’t this as well an unnecessary risk that could easily be avoided by the Cotter Corporation simply enacting the cleanup that the state is demanding of it?

As it stands, the courts have now gotten involved and ordered the corporation to clean up the fines, after it has spent months defying fines and state mandates for it to do so. One must wonder why a company would risk further aggravation, time, and more extensive and expensive lawsuits, including the possibility of workers’ compensation suits, over something they could have fixed quite some time ago.

Can you imagine being a million dollars in debt, but not being able to pay your bills because you’ve lost your main sources of income due to the same injury that caused the debt?  Can you imagine the anger you’d feel towards the irresponsible driver who smashed into your car at 70 miles an hour and set off the whole thing?

If it weren’t for Denver traumatic brain injury lawyers here in Colorado, stories like this in our state would have much more tragic endings. With a good lawyer, at least a victim of a situation like this can get a settlement to carry them through the debt and recovery process. Even today, Obermeier’s speech is slurred and his gait off-balance, leading many to assume he’s drunk rather than injured. However, Obermeier has been able to live comfortably thanks to an insurance settlement arising from the case.  Though he’s not as good as he once was, he can still play trumpet. And that, at least, is something.

How is it possible that a convenience store worker should expect this sort of thing? Do we need to begin sending these workers through military-style boot camp, now, to psychologically prepare them for warfare? These people aren’t police, soldiers, or even security guards. They’re clerks, working often for little more than minimum wage. To say that they should expect to be put into situations of potential bodily harm is ludicrous, and one must hope that the workers’ compensation attorneys for the employee appeal this case to a higher authority.

What about a worker who slips and falls while mopping the floor, and breaks her leg? Mopping the floor is within the scope of her normal duties. Is she, then, not entitled to workers’ compensation for having broken her leg on the job? What about a construction worker who, after working under perfectly normal conditions with fiberglass, develops respiratory issues? He knew he was working with fiberglass to begin with, so is he then not entitled to compensation for his long-term ailments?

This situation is no different. This worker was not at fault for his PTSD, and he shouldn’t be treated like a criminal or some greedy money grabber just out for a buck. The circumstance was extraordinary, but even if it wasn’t, he deserves workers’ compensation for what he went through.

Part of the problem is that our society doesn’t view psychological ailments resulting from stress as legitimate injuries. There are still people out there who believe that there’s no such thing as clinical depression. Until we change these views, workers compensation attorneys are going to continue to have a rough go of it, defending their clients’ rights.

Just because you have the option to quit, however, doesn’t mean it’s a viable option. People have bills to pay, and in this climate bullies are more likely than ever to get away with their oppressive behavior.

Isn’t the emotional distress inflicted upon bullied employees just as much an injury as a broken leg? The long-term effects of constant assaults on a worker’s self-esteem can lead to permanent psychological disabilities. Isn’t a chemical imbalance caused by stress and fear a brain injury as well? Lawmakers need to help work injury attorneys take notice of this under-represented group of injured workers.

The problems are many. There are few physical symptoms to psychological damage. The direct cause is difficult to prove. The biggest problem is societal: we view bullying as something that happens to kids. When it happens to an adult, we dismiss them as wimps or cry-babies.

We need to change these views, and it’s going to take some bold lawmakers and corporate decisions to establish precedent which recognizes the problem for what it is. Then personal injury attorneys will be able to stand up for the rights of these kinds of clients.

It’s in companies’ best interests to do so.  After all, bullying results in low morale, depression, and poor productivity. In short, bullies do exist at work, and they’re bad for the bottom line.

These impairment ratings are based upon conditions set by the American Medical Association (AMA), and filed in the Colorado state government, as such are full not only of legalese, but of scientific and medical terminology that can even be confusing for lawmakers. There are sections and sub-sections and sub-sub-sections, and the devil, as they say, is in the details.

Trying to navigate the maze of requirements to get through an Impairment Rating Evaluation can be confusing and frustrating, and when you have been injured physically or psychologically at work, the last thing you need is more stress.

Attorneys get a bad rap all too often, but the truth is that they are here to protect the interests of their clients, first and foremost. People go into legal practice because they love the law, and they love the idea of a fair and balanced judicial system, where everyone gets their just due and everyone’s rights are protected. In Colorado, given how complex these laws can be, personal injury attorneys are here to help interpret the laws so that the eventual settlement is fair and just. Many people don’t even realize that an unfavorable IRE is not necessarily the last word in a disability claim—having a good Colorado workers’ compensation attorney can mean the ability to challenge an unfair result and still gain the claim that you deserve.

Employers need to keep close contact with their insurance agencies and claims adjusters when it comes to workers compensation laws, establishing a clear standard of expectation and a steady relationship. Claims adjustors should be treated as a part of the company’s team, not an interloper or external agent. Perhaps most importantly for both the insurance agency and the workers compensation attorneys involved, it is vital that employers provide as detailed and accurate information to the claims adjustor regarding the employee and the claim as possible, including any information that may not present the employer in the best light.

In the end, being up front about any potentially bad information reflects far better upon the parties involved than does such information coming out during workers compensation claim litigation.

Perhaps just as important is the need for employers to keep abreast of current laws and trends where workers comp claims are concerned. There are continuing education courses available in many states; no matter where you are, be it New York, Los Angeles, or Denver, personal injury law education courses are a worthwhile bit of career development for management representatives to explore.

Finally, don’t run from workers comp claims. Face them head on and get them settled openly and fairly. Your time is often worth more than the claims you could spend months or even years fighting.

The benefits for which Samantha Jones is eligible are substantial, amounting to $30,000 per year in compensation, capping at $1.7 million, as well as an additional $16,000 per year in pension and a lump $300,000 sum from a benefit package. It is difficult to divine what is driving this lawsuit, though the original instigating factor seems to be Mrs. Jones seeking a lump $1 million sum in lieu of ongoing benefits payments.

The suit may be an attempt at punitive justice—the officer who fired the fatal shot was not disciplined and has been publicly named for the first time; Mrs. Jones alleges he behaved with indifference towards the safety of his fellow officers.

Events like this are tragic and seem to be happening more often, but this begs the question: is there a line which a qualified workers’ compensation attorney shouldn’t cross?  As with elsewhere, in Colorado, workers’ compensation attorneys exist to protect their clients’ rights. But how far do rights extend? Are lawsuits seeking punitive monetary damages valid?  If so, should punitive awards go to the plaintiff, or to the city, state, or a charity fund? Such debates are academic; a qualified workers’ compensation attorney has a job to work within the laws on the books and take care of her clients. Even still, it’s interesting to ponder the potential ethical issues at work in cases such as this, so that a tragic event doesn’t turn into an even greater tragedy.

Studies are generally undertaken on such high-profile groups because not only are they more in the public eye, the data is more easily available to scrutinize. But these findings apply to normal folks, too. Experienced  personal injury attorneys are beginning to look more closely at this data, and are stepping up to represent those who have suffered traumatic brain injury, to ensure that their rights are protected in case of such developments in later life.

It is too early to draw a definitive associative line; some studies regarding traumatic brain injury have noted no increased tendencies towards Alzheimer’s or dementia at all.  However, the more recent studies are leaning more towards an increase in risk for late-life effects.

Since these types of injuries can generate effects that do not manifest for years or even decades after the trauma, getting one’s due compensation under Colorado personal injury law can be difficult.  Researching Colorado personal injury attorneys turns up a lot of options.  You should be careful to make the choice that is best for you; always seek a Denver personal injury attorney whose past clientele are willing to stand up and testify to their careful handling of tragic situations.

In other words, was this settlement a glorified fine paid to the government of California?  What about the people affected by breathing tiny shards of metal emitted into the air?  The details seem scarce.

Exposure to toxic substances is no joke; internal injuries, chronic conditions, and even cancer can result from corporate irresponsibility such as this, and companies should be forced to pay these settlements to their victims, not to the local or state government.

It seems that all too often, while we try so hard to regulate corporations’ effect on the environment, their more immediate effects on people go ignored or wrapped up into the larger issue.  This may be due to the fact that often, toxic injury can take years to manifest and is not as immediately measurable as are environmental effects like ground water spoilage.

This is perhaps why more attorneys specializing in toxic injury are beginning to appear on the scene.  In Denver, toxic injury attorneys can handle lawsuits concerning everything from asbestos to fracking damage to respiratory issues caused by exposure to cleaning chemicals in the office.  We work around a lot of toxic substances these days—toxic injury isn’t just restricted to exposure to asbestos, acid or the irresponsible handling of radioactive materials.  Respiratory issues and other health problems can even arise from exposure to ammonia or chlorine from bleach or window cleaner.

No matter how nice a company may seem to treat their workers, companies are in business to make money, not to lose it.  When the time comes to pay out, many will look for a way to avoid doing so.  If your employer fails to pay on a workers’ compensation law case, not only will you lose money that you may be owed, you may in fact find yourself in debt from hospital bills that your insurance will not cover, and you could even end up with permanent or persistent injuries.  It may sound incredible, but situations like this have happened.

Never forget, if you are injured at work or as a result of work-related activities, you have rights.  If you find yourself in a situation where you think you may deserve compensation for a work-related injury, you owe it to yourself to at least seek a consultation with a Denver workers’ compensation attorney.

Companies are beginning to fight back against workers’ compensation claims. Westinghouse even recently won a case wherein a worker contracted cancer from working with asbestos for years; the courts ruled that because the man could not prove he lost wages, he was not entitled to compensation for his condition.

For these reasons, if you suspect you are suffering from an injury or persistent condition that may be related to work conditions or issues, you should immediately contact a workers’ compensation attorney.  Don’t let your employer and their insurance company decide to what you are entitled.  A qualified Denver workers’ compensation attorney can make the difference between a fair settlement, and long-term injuries and debt.

Many types of injuries are covered under personal injury law, but some of the most common injuries and the accidents that can cause them include:

• burn injuries from explosions or fire accidents
• deadly infections from defective medical products
• broken bones or fractures from vehicle accidents or pedestrian accidents
• spinal injuries from slip and fall accidents
• lacerations from dog bites
• bed sores or other injuries due to nursing home neglect.

Under Colorado’s personal injury laws, injured parties can sue for monetary damages like medical bills or non-monetary damages like pain and suffering if they were hurt because someone else was negligent. This negligence can come in the form of a careless driver, a property owner who doesn’t remove hazards or a careless security professional. Product liability laws cover situations where a product like a household appliance or even a construction product was defective and caused injury. Premises liability law covers situations where someone was hurt on another person’s property due to the property owner’s negligence. An attorney can help you determine whether or not you have a case.

If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident, an industrial accident or hurt by a defective product, you may be concerned about paying medical bills as well as paying for a lawyer. However, many personal injury lawyers will work hard to get you a settlement in your case because they don’t get paid until your settlement is complete. This means that you can focus on healing from your injuries while your Colorado personal injury attorney works on your behalf to hold negligent parties responsible in court.

According to an article on the Ultimate Bellaire website, a woman and her husband are the defendants in a lawsuit filed against them by the woman’s sister and her husband. The suit alleges that the sister was injured during a visit to the defendant’s home in June 2010.  The defendant’s dog knocked over a lantern. The lantern’s fuel splattered on the sister’s legs. When they were in the backyard, the sister fell into a oily combustible substance that spilled from the lantern. Flames burst on her feet and legs. She crawled onto the grass to put out the flames and was rushed to the hospital. The suit accuses the defendant’s of negligence and seeks $750,000 in court costs and damages for the burn injuries the sister suffered.

It’s unfortunate that two sisters are involved in a legal battle that could adversely impact their relationship. However, if the personal injury attorney representing the plaintiffs can prove that the defendants failed to take proper actions to prevent the incident in this case from happening, the defendants should be held accountable and have to pay for the sister’s pain and suffering. If the personal injury attorney representing the defendant can prove that what happened was simply an unfortunate mishap and that there was nothing his clients could have done to prevent the accident, the plaintiffs would lose their case.

The Daily American recently reported that an employee of Kantner Iron and Steel in Hooversville, Pennsylvania died of burn injuries he sustained while on the job. The victim was cutting a lock off a steel box containing 50 to 100 pounds of black power when the box exploded. The box had no markings or labels indicating it contained explosives. OSHA, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and state police were investigating the incident at press time.

The victim was an 18-year veteran at the company, which recycles ferrous and nonferrous metals. Co-workers described him as a hard-working employee and a good friend. They said he worked in all kinds of weather and never complained, that he truly loved job and was willing to help anyone who was in need. They said he would truly be missed and would be hard to replace as an employee.

If the victim in this case has any surviving family members, they would be wise to consult with a personal injury attorney to discuss legal options. Depending on the results of the investigation, there  may be grounds for a wrongful death suit against whomever sent the steel box to the company. Any package containing hazardous materials should be properly marked so that it is handled with caution. Had the box in this case been marked as containing hazardous or explosive materials, the victim would have exercised caution while handling the box–and he may still be alive.

The transient recently filed a lawsuit against Firestone Complete Auto Care, citing negligence and blaming its anti-loitering policy on burn injuries he sustained during an incident in January 2010. The Los Angeles Times recently reported that the transient was outside a Firestone shop when an auto mechanic employed at the shop came outside, poured gasoline onto his shopping cart and set it ablaze  to scare off the transient. The cart burst into flames that engulfed the transient, causing third degree burns to his face and arms.

The auto mechanic was charged and convicted of a felony count of arson resulting in bodily injury and received a five-year jail sentence. The transient underwent six months of treatment at a Sherman Oaks’ burn center and was recuperating smoothly from his injuries, according to his attorney. Firestone and the auto mechanic were both named in the lawsuit, in which the transient seeks over a million dollars in medical costs and other costs related to his injuries, as well as punitive damages.

If the burn injury victim in this case has a good personal injury attorney, he will win this case and get the compensation he seeks–if not more. The auto mechanic was clearly in the wrong and used unnecessary tactics to make the transient leave the premises, and it cost him his freedom.

A recent West Virginia Record story reported that in July 2009, a man was shopping in the store when he slipped and fell on some liquid on the floor that was not mopped up. He suffered knee and back pain and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He filed a lawsuit against the store, in which he alleged that he suffered an acute lumbar strain and required physical therapy and medication.

According the plaintiff, there were no signs near the area of the spill to warn customers of a potential hazard. The suit further alleged that the store was or should have been aware of the spill and failed to properly remove it. The plaintiff seeks punitive and compensatory damages.

If the plaintiff can prove Dollar General was negligent, and it appears that they were, he will win his case. By law, property owners must inform pedestrians, customers and passersby of any potential hazards on his his property or establishment.  Should a person injure themselves on the premises, the property owner can be held liable. Areas of potential hazards or dangers should be clearly and visibly marked. A personal injury attorney representing a customer or pedestrian who slipped and fell in your business or your home will most likely seek damages for his clients’ medical expenses, decreased earning capacity and pain and suffering–and the cost will not be cheap.

According to the story in the The Buffalo News, the plaintiff suffered the aneurysm in 1998, followed by a massive stroke that left him paralyzed. The suit alleged that his brain scan was misdiagnosed by a doctor at a private firm with whom the hospital had a contract, which led to him having a stroke. The plaintiff was awarded $5 million in 2008 and $18 million in 2009. A state appellate court ordered the hospital to pay the plaintiff the sum of both awards plus interest, for a total of $24 million. At press time, the hospital was deciding whether to appeal.

The defendant in this case may believe they did no wrong, however, it is their job to properly and accurately diagnose a patient’s condition. The judge in this case determined that the hospital failed to do right by their patient, who is left permanently debilitated because a doctor did not do his job. The personal injury attorney representing the plaintiff successfully proved negligence on the part of the hospital, getting his client the settlement he deserved. Medical professional take an oath to give a patient no less than 100 percent. Those who give less than that should be held accountable, especially when it costs a patient their quality of life–or their life, period.

A state patrol officer stated that charges were still pending against the driver of the car. The driver will likely face charges for failing to yield the right of way to the motorcyclist before making the left turn. An account was established to assist the victim’s family with medical bills. The story did not state whether he was wearing a helmet or if speed or alcohol was involved.

The accident victim or his family could consult with a personal injury attorney to discuss legal action that could be taken against the driver. The victim could be entitled to compensation for his medical bills, loss of earning capacity and pain suffering. The attorney would review the police and witness statements to determine if what actions on the part of the other driver, as well as the victim, may have led to the accident. In the event that the victim’s condition takes a turn for the worse and he dies from  his injuries, the family would also have possible grounds for a wrongful death suit.

The woman was riding along a highway in the afternoon hours of August 17 when the driver of the pickup truck made a left-hand turn in front of her motorcycle at an intersection, which caused the crash. The truck came to a stop at the side of the road, the motorcycle came to rest on a paved shoulder a few feet away. A section of the road had to be closed and traffic rerouted.

Had the woman survived, she could have gotten a personal injury attorney and built a strong case against the truck driver. It appears he was not in the proper lane to make the left-hand turn and failed to make sure there was no oncoming traffic before making the turn. With a motorcycle being significantly smaller than a pickup truck, chances are the truck driver may not have seen the motorcycle until it was too late. A motorcycle provides a rider little protection against injury if he or she is involved in a crash. Even if the woman in this scenario had worn a helmet, the impact of the crash, given the significant size difference of the two vehicles, would likely have resulted in serious injuries.

The woman’s family, however, can retain a personal injury attorney to discuss what legal action, if any, can be filed against the driver in this case. The attorney can review the facts pertaining to the accident and determine if the family has a case.

The victim had not been wearing a helmet. He sustained facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. Police cited him for violating the terms of a learner’s permit.

Wearing a helmet is not mandatory in every state, but it’s obviously a good idea to wear one regardless. Colorado has no mandatory helmet requirements for riders over 18, however, riders under 18 must wear DOT-approved helmets. All riders must wear eye protection such as goggles or a visor on a helmet. The injuries suffered by the rider in this scenario may have been a lot less severe had he worn a helmet. Considering that he was probably going well over the speed limit when the accident occurred, he is actually very lucky to be alive. Unfortunately, he will have some legal issues to deal with once he gets out of the hospital.

A personal injury attorney in this case may be of little help to the rider, because his injury resulted from reckless behavior on his part. Had his motorcycle accident been caused by the irresponsible behavior of another motorist or pedestrian, a personal injury attorney could work on his behalf to get him compensation for medical expenses, lost wages from work and any other economic hardships resulting from his injuries, and pain and suffering.

The lawsuit alleges that the workers were installing hot-water pipes beneath the campus when 40,000 or more gallons of hot water was released into a tunnel system through a water line designated as being abandoned and inactive, severely burning the workers with 400-degree steam.

The suit further alleges that the university assured the workers that the water line was inoperative and abandoned, and they should have no concerns about the open pipe. According to the suit, an OSHA investigation determined that the university was at fault. The university was also cited back in April 2010 for not capping the water line.

Thermal West claims that the incident downgraded its safety rating, causing the business to lose customers. The firm is seeking damages totaling $5 million, which includes compensation for increased workmen’s compensation costs and lost contract revenue. University officials declined to comment on the matter.

The injured workers undoubtedly have sufficient grounds to file their own lawsuits against the university. A personal injury attorney can assess their case and advise them of legal remedies. A personal injury attorney will fight on behalf of the injured workers to make sure they are fairly compensated for their pain and suffering.

One boy fell off the truck and got pinned under the wheel, according to witnesses. He was run over as the driver starting pulling out. The driver then struck another boy when he backed up to see what  happened. Both boys were taken o the hospital, where one died. The other boy suffered a leg injury.

Neighborhood residents stated that they sympathize with both the parents and children, as well as the driver, whom they said was well-liked and provided a much needed service to the community for years. The investigation into the accident was ongoing, and no charges were yet filed.

If the families of the deceased and injured children decide to file suit against the driver in this case, they may find themselves being held just as accountable for their actions. Trucking companies are regulated by state and federal rules they must abide by, but the driver in this case doesn’t appear to have violated any rules. The driver actually tried to prevent such a tragedy from happening. Further examination by a good personal injury attorney might uncover otherwise, however.

If the driver must retain an personal injury attorney to represent his side of the story, his attorney could argue that the parents failed to exercise proper control over their children. His attorney could also make sure the driver himself did not violate any trucking regulations to make sure his client has a solid defense.

The owner of the pit bulls insisted that his leashed dog wriggled out of its collar after getting entangled on a railing and darted over to the street where the couple was walking the poodle. The poodle growled at the pit bull, which sparked a confrontation between the two dogs. The owner stated that he broke up the fight and the poodle was unharmed. He had to surrender his dogs to a humane officer regardless, he stated.

Police officials state, however, that the owner of the pit bulls was not ordered to surrender them and that he did so of his own will. The owners of the poodle decided to drop charges after the pit bulls were surrendered, but the charges were still on file as of August 11. They also proposed that their local town council adopt an ordinance that clearly defined what constitutes a vicious dog instead of banning certain breeds, something the pit bull owner agrees with, because he felt that pit bulls were unfairly viewed as vicious just because of their breed.

In Colorado, this dog owner would most likely be ordered to keep his pit bulls under confinement or removed from his home. He may also be ordered to euthanize them if they inflicted serious injury on one or both of the owners. Even the though the poodle owners decided to drop charges, they could still elect to sue the pit bull owner for the cost of the vet and hospital bills. A Colorado personal injury attorney would explain the dog bite laws and suggest possible legal options under those laws. A personal injury attorney would ensure that the dog owner was held accountable for his actions.

One of the girls stepped into a puddle of water and screamed as an electrical current jolted through her. The other girl, her best friend, grabbed her and was also jolted. One of the girl’s stepsister, also 14, attempted to pull the girls out of the puddle but started having trouble breathing and felt her legs growing weak. She attempted to revive her stepsister, but the girl died in her lap. The two girls were later pronounced dead at a Sterling hospital where one the girls’ mother works.

A federal and local investigation is ongoing to determine what happened. Some of the young workers do not want to detassel again, and those who do are forbidden to do so by their parents. Detasseling, or preparing corn plants for cross-pollination, is relatively harmless, the only threats being the heat and allergies.

One landowner suspects that the deaths may have resulted from lightning damage to parts of the electrical system that are linked to the irrigation equipment system, creating a new electrical connection

and charging up the irrigation apparatus. According to the landowner, the farm owner called an electrician but the electrician could not come to the field until days after the workers were already in the field.

A local farmer owns the cornfield, which was leased to the Monsanto Company. Monsanto issued new safety guidelines in response to the accident, however, a recent WIFR story reports that the father of one of the girls has since filed a lawsuit against Monsato and other defendants, citing negligence.

The farm owner, as well as Monsanto, would have been liable had this tragedy occurred in Colorado, based on premise and liability statues. A Colorado personal injury attorney would explain these statutes to the parents of the deceased teens and fight to get their families fair compensation for their loss. A personal injury attorney would also negotiate with insurance companies on the families’ behalf.

The defendants in the lawsuit, the owners are accused of neglecting to provide a safe place to work, failing to supply equipment, furnishings and apparel that were safe and fit for their intended purpose, failing to properly inspect the barge, and use, engagement and assignment of an unqualified crew.

The seaman slipped and fell as he walked across the deck of the barge, shattering his right knee. He claims the fall left him permanently impaired. He seeks damages for physical and mental impairment,disability, physical and mental pain, suffering, scarring and disfigurement, humiliation, loss of earnings and wage-earning capacity, diminished enjoyment of life, medical expenses, interest and court costs.

Premises liability statutes vary from state to state, but they all–to a degree–hold a property owner liable when someone is injured on their property. In Colorado, a property owner may be liable for injury on his property depending on the reason the injured party was on his property, i.e., if the injured party was trespassing, a licensee or was invited onto the property. A Colorado personal injury attorney would review the events surrounding the accident to determine if the injured party can seek damages for their injuries and hold the property owner accountable. If someone slips and falls on your property, consult with a personal injury attorney to find out if you are liable.

Residents took air and water samples from resident-occupied areas near oil and gas operations in Colorado and New Mexico. Lab tests later confirmed the presence of hydrogen sulfide, a chemical associated with natural gas drilling. Long term exposure to hydrogen sulfide can lead to respiratory infections, eye and nose irritation, headache, nausea, cough and breathlessness.

One Garfield County resident said she participated in the Bucket Brigade project because she had friends who became ill after natural gas development began near their homes. Another resident collapsed after being outside while irrigating her land. She became violently ill and had to wear a respirator. She has since moved to another state. Another resident also passed out in her house. Her grandchildren suffered from asthma and had to use nebulizers until they moved out of the state, where their symptoms disappeared.

A Garfield County environmental health manager agrees that some the residents’ illnesses could be due to exposure to oil and gas development, and he admires the citizens’ sampling efforts, but he is unconvinced that scientific methodology was used. Two samples were taken from Garfield County, and according to the environmental health manager, that’s not enough to prove hydrogen sulfide contamination as a result of oil and gas development.

Residents still maintain that families who lived in the area for years with no problems suddenly developed health issues after oil and gas development began near their homes. They also feel the county’s air monitoring system is inadequate.

Families have the right to live in an environment where there is clean air, water and soil. Companies who threaten environmental safety should be held accountable. Garfield County residents who moved from the area can still file civil action against the parties they feel are responsible for their health issues. Coloradans living in areas of constant toxic exposure that they believe contributed to their own health issues would be wise to consult with a Colorado personal injury attorney to explore legal options. If you were left with a debilitating and/or permanent health condition after constant toxic exposure resulting from construction or industrial work near your home, you may be able to recover damages for your pain and suffering. A Colorado personal injury attorney who specializes in toxic exposure cases could evaluate your situation to determine if you have a case.

The companies were charged with violating OSHA regulations, resulting in the deaths of five workers in a fire that broke out at the one of the company’s power plants in October 2007. The fire broke out as workers were resealing a large water pipe called a penstock. The fire blocked the workers’ only escape route, and they had no rescue equipment to pull them out from above, leaving them trapped. The workers died from smoke inhalation.

Two of the workers’ widows tearfully left the courtroom after hearing the non-guilty verdict. An OSHA administrator was also disappointed in the verdict. He stated that despite the verdict in this case, OSHA would still take action against employers willing to compromise workers’ safety and health in order to get the job done.

The companies in this scenario may have been cleared of criminal charges, but the plant workers’ widows can each file civil action against the companies. A Colorado personal injury attorney can explain to them their legal options and assess whether or not they have a determine if they have a case.

A Colorado personal injury attorney can review documentation pertaining to the investigation of the accident to see if there is any details that the federal prosecutors may have overlooked that would make for a solid case.

The driver then attempted to run the worker down with his vehicle. Other workers tried to block him in the cone zone but he was able to get past them and ended up hitting a flagger with his driver’s side mirror. The driver didn’t stop, but a witness pursued him and helped the deputies track him down

The driver, a resident of Colorado Springs, was arrested and taken to jail. He faces charges of reckless driving, failure to obey instructions of a flag person, two counts of vehicular assault and second-degree assault.

In addition to his criminal charges, the driver faces a potential lawsuit should the injured woman decide to retain a Colorado personal injury attorney and file a civil suit for damages for her pain and suffering.  She suffered a broken arm, which would make it difficult for her to perform duties as a flagger, costing her days off work and possibly lost wages. Depending on the severity of her injury, her future earning capacity may be affected. A Colorado personal injury attorney can see to it that she gets nothing less than she is entitled to. Retaining an attorney would be a wise move particularly when dealing with insurance companies, who may want to settle quickly, but oftentimes for much less than she would get if she had a personal injury attorney representing her.

The man was riding southbound on a Harley Davidson with one other rider when he went off the roadway as he rounded a curve. His front tire tripped on the road edge as he tried to steer back onto the road. His bike went down on the right side, throwing him to the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet. The accident remains under investigation, but it is believed that alcohol was involved.

Colorado does not require riders over 18 to wear helmets, but wearing one in this case might have saved the rider’s life even if he had suffered serious injuries. He would be facing serious charges, however. It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle, whether it’s a car, truck or motorcycle, while under the influence of alcohol. Motorcyclists in Colorado are held to the same traffic laws as drivers of other vehicles, so if this guy was speeding, he would face charges for that as well.

A Colorado personal injury attorney in this scenario could help his surviving family members find out if any one could be held liable upon further investigation of the events leading up the crash. A Colorado personal injury attorney could assist the family in dealing with the insurance company and making sure they get what they’re entitled to and nothing less.

The owner and her daughter have been trying since June to raise enough money to pay the $1,200 monthly cost to keep the dogs alive at the Humane Society until the owner’s September court date. Loans and donations from family and friends enabled the owner to pay until mid-July, but she needed almost $4,000 to keep the dogs alive until her court date. The financial burden and the thought of her dogs being constantly caged was too much. She went to the Humane Society, signed over her rights and had the dogs euthanized.

The owner stated that she would never own another dog “in this state” under the current laws. The owner may not be happy with Colorado’s dog bite laws, but they are there to ensure her own safety as well as that of her neighbors and other pedestrians. Dog owners are held liable for the actions of their dogs if the dogs seriously injure another person.

The report doesn’t state why the girl ignored the warning signs posted on the property, but her ignorance of these signs may take some of the responsibility off of the dog owner. Under Colorado law, a dog owner may not be held liable if the victim entered their property while ignoring clearly visible warning signs. Most likely the Colorado personal injury attorney representing the owner has made her well aware of this. It appears, however, that she is being held accountable for her choice to keep dogs she knew were dangerous and would bite people, which is enough to warrant the charges she faces.

The owner’s legal troubles could be compounded by the victim’s family retaining a Colorado personal injury attorney to help them sue the owner for hospital and medical expenses and pain and suffering.

A Colorado Springs woman appeared in 4th Judicial District Court and pleaded not guilty for the dragging death of a tow-truck driver, according to a July 15 report by The Gazette. The woman faces 11 charges, including vehicular homicide, manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident, and she could be sentenced to 12 years in jail if convicted. The tow-truck owner was attempting to tow a vehicle that was illegally parked when the woman jumped inside the vehicle and drove off.

The tow-truck driver was chasing after the vehicle when his legs become tangled in the cable trailing the vehicle and he was dragged for more than mile before he came loose. The man died of his injuries. Police apprehended the woman several blocks away from the accident scene and arrested her for suspicion of recklessly causing the man’s death. The woman’s defense was that she didn’t know that man was being dragged behind her vehicle because of belongings piled up in her back seat that obstructed her view and missing mirrors.

Tow truck drivers from all over the state as well as local residents attended a candlelight vigil for the man at the spot where he was found on the road. The man’s death led to the passage of a law that makes it illegal to enter a vehicle that is marked as being towed.

In addition to serious charges and lengthy jail sentence the woman faces, she also faces possible legal action. The victim’s family can retain a Colorado personal injury attorney and see what civil action, if any, can be filed against the woman for failing to have adequate mirrors on her vehicle and failing to ensure she has a clear view of the road from all angles. The attorney can also negotiate a fair settlement with the woman’s insurance company on the family’s behalf.

The dog owner was very remorseful and issued a letter of apology that was read two weeks later at a community meeting between residents and officials from the Metro Police Animal Control. The dog owner’s letter also stated that she had surrendered her dogs to Animal Control. One of the dogs was killed at the scene of the attack, the other one was euthanized. Animal Control officials were said to be working with Savannah’s city council to impose stricter ordinances in regards to dangerous animals.

This is just one of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of vicious dog attacks that result in serious bodily injury or death across the United States and in other parts of the world. Had the dog owner in this case resided in the state of Colorado, she would be liable. The victim’s family would be able to sue the owner, and a good Colorado personal injury attorney would see it to that she pays for the young victim’s pain and suffering. Colorado’s dog bite laws holds dog owners liable when their dogs inflict serious bodily injury on another person, regardless of whether they have had no prior knowledge that their dogs were dangerous or had no clue whatsoever.

While reinforcing and enhancing laws to make the streets safer for everyone, laws do not replace personal responsibility to exercise good judgment while driving, cycling or walking down city streets.  Doing otherwise can jeopardizes your own safety and that of others, not to mention the potential legal ramifications.

Colorado has premise and liability statues in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers in crosswalks. If you are seriously injured in an accident involving a cyclist, driver or other pedestrian in a crosswalk, the same laws entitle to file civil action against parties you believe contributed to your accident through an act of negligence or failure to take property safety measures.

An experienced Colorado personal injury attorney can explain the Colorado’s premise and liability laws in greater detail, as well as advise you of your legal options under those laws. An experienced personal injury attorney can also help when it comes to dealing with insurance companies. Your attorney can evaluate your case to see if you may be entitled to compensation for hospital and medical expenses, present and future medical treatment, lost wages, present or future earning ability and pain and suffering.

In general, death benefits pay around two-thirds of the worker’s weekly wages, and the time that death benefits will last depends on the relationship between the dependents and the fatally injured worker. A surviving spouse of a fatally injured worker will generally receive death benefits until they remarry or for the rest of their life if they choose not to remarry. Dependent children are elibile for workers comp death benefits until their 18^th birthday, and older children over 21 may be eligible for partial benefits if they can prove to the worker’s compensation system that they were at least partially dependent on the injured worker. All death benefits are equally divided among surviving dependents who qualify.

While they may be busy grieving, families do have a right to compensation when a family member is killed at work. Often, workers compensation insurance companies won’t inform surviving dependents of their right to benefits in order to save money, but an attorney will fight for your right to compensation. In the event that a loved one was killed while on the job, contact a Colorado workers’ compensation attorney to ensure that you receive the death or dependency benefits that you are entitled to.

Mold in the walls of buildings can cause eye irritation and respiratory illness in individuals who breathe it, and these were the illnesses claimed by the six CU Boulder employees. Often, property owners aren’t aware of a mold problem until workers become sick, as was the case at CU Boulder. The university is working to uncover the source of the mold, which workers claim they came in contact with in the Engineering building. Water damage can often cause a mold infestation, but there was no evidence of water damage found in the CU case. A Colorado workers compensation attorney can help you gather evidence of contamination in your case so that you can get compensated for medical bills related to your mold illness.

Illness due to exposure to toxic mold is only one type of illness cited in worker’s comp claims. If you have suffered an infection, respiratory ailments from asbestos or neurological illness due to toxic chemical exposure at work, you need an aggressive attorney at your side who will make sure that your claim is not denied and you get the maximum benefits.

• Chemical burns
• Respiratory conditions
• Poisoning
• Loss of hearing or sight

• Spinal injuries
• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injury

If you or someone you love has suffered one of these injuries or contracted an illness at their workplace, you need to contact a Colorado workers compensation attorney as soon as possible to get them the help they need filing a workers compensation claim. At the Denver Law Offices of Mary Jeffers, we believe that all workers deserve to heal from illness and injury without worrying about their claim, and our dedicated attorneys can make that happen.

Your Denver Workers Compensation Experts
In 1970, the US federal government passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act in order to protect American workers from illnesses and injuries on the job. Since then, the US Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has enforced regulations to protect workers and improve workplace safety. Unfortunately, accidents still happen, and workers are still getting sick or injured on the job. According to OSHA statistics, there were 3.3 million workers injured in the United States in 2009. That’s over three million people who got sick or hurt because of conditions at their workplace.

Injuries and illnesses contracted in the workplace can be the result of many different factors. Common workplace accidents include:

Slips and Falls: When spills aren’t cleaned up in a timely manner or floors aren’t properly maintained, workers can slip and fall. Slips and falls cause injuries ranging from broken bones to spine injuries that require months of rehabilitation.
Toxic Substance Exposure: Manufacturing and other industries use toxic chemicals to make the products consumers use every day, and exposure to these chemicals can cause illness in the workers that handle them. Improper handling or storage of toxic substances can also cause chemical burns or blindness.
Assault in the Workplace: Violence in the workplace can also cause injuries to workers because of assaults.

Fires and Explosions: Workers in construction or manufacturing industries can also suffer burns or injuries due to fires and explosions when flammable substances aren’t properly handled or fire safety regulations aren’t followed.
Vehicle Accidents: Workers in the transportation industry can also suffer injuries due to motor vehicle accidents on the job. Industrial vehicles like trucks or forklifts can also cause accidents.

Equipment Accidents: Defective or improperly maintained equipment in manufacturing or construction can malfunction, causing many different types of injuries.

The workers compensation system is designed to make sure that workers can get health care and take care of their families after getting sick or being injured in the workplace. However, the system doesn’t always work the way it is supposed to, and many workers can go without adequate help in their time of need. A dedicated workers compensation attorney can fight for the right of the injured worker to be compensated for their injuries. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers believe strongly in the rights of workers to have compensation for illnesses or injuries suffered on the job. Attorney Mary Jeffers has a background as a claims adjuster, so she understands all the details of workers compensation claims.

The workers compensation system can also be confusing for many people, with state and federal government agencies handling different aspects of a workers compensation case. In addition to trying to heal from workplace injuries, many people have to handle a mountain of paperwork and coordinate with doctors, insurance companies and the workers compensation administration. A Denver workers compensation attorney has experience in handling all aspects of these cases. With an attorney on their side, injured workers can get back to healing and stop worrying about medical bills and providing for their families.

Colorado Workers Compensation Overview
When workers are injured on the job or get sick because of the workplace environment, the Colorado workers compensation system is designed to help these workers get the health care they need to get well and get back to work. The workers compensation system is a large government system, and often injured workers need help navigating it. That’s where an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney can help. The attorneys at the Denver law office of Mary Jeffers have years of experience navigating the workers compensation system in Colorado to get injured or sick workers the compensation they deserve.

Workers Compensation System Explained
One of the reasons why many people are confused about workers compensation is because of the different government agencies involved in protecting workers from injury and helping them back on their feet after an injury or illness. If you or someone you love has been hurt on the job or gotten sick because of conditions in the workplace, an experienced attorney can explain your rights and assist you with the process of pursuing a claim. Even with the assistance of an attorney, it can be helpful to understand a bit about the workers compensation system in the US.

OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, is responsible for regulating safety precautions and health standards in America’s workplaces. This is a federal government agency that gives outlines for employers on maintaining safe and healthy work environments, although they are not responsible for compensating workers after they are injured. OSHA is important for injured workers because this organization makes rules for companies about how to keep their workers safe. If the employer doesn’t follow OSHA regulations and a worker gets injured, this can affect the worker’s compensation plan. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help hold employers responsible for breaking OSHA regulations.
OSHA also keeps statistics about workplace injuries and illnesses in the US. According to OSHA statistics, in 2009, 3.6 out of every 100 workers in the private sector suffered nonfatal injuries or illnesses at work. State government workers were higher at 4.6 out of 100, and federal government workers had the highest injury and illness rate of 6.3 workers per 100.

Federal Workers Compensation System
Even though the federal government sets down the safety regulations for US workplaces, they only handle workers compensation cases for federal employees. The US Department of Labor contains the Division of Federal Employees’ Compensation, or DFEC, which “provides workers’ compensation coverage to three million federal and postal workers around the world for employment-related injuries and occupational diseases,” according to their website. The DFEC only covers individuals who work for a federal government agency, not state or local government workers or employees of private companies.

Colorado Workers Compensation System
All employees of state and local government agencies, as well as all employees of private companies in Colorado will have their workers compensation claims heard by the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment’s Division of Workers’ Compensation. This government agency handles cases of workers who have suffered an accident and gotten injured on the job, as well as workers who have contracted a disease or suffered an illness as the result of conditions in their workplace. The division also works with insurance companies, medical professionals and employers to see that injured workers can get adequate medical treatment.

The Colorado workers compensation system is very complex, and it can be hard for an injured worker to understand and navigate. That’s where the experienced Denver workers compensation attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers can help. Mary Jeffers worked within the system as a claims adjuster for many years, and eventually took her expertise to her law practice. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to help Colorado workers who have been injured or gotten sick because of their job.
Our knowledgeable Colorado workman’s comp attorneys can help you with many different aspects of your case, including:

Unfortunately, accidents don’t just happen on the job. Automobile accidents caused by reckless or careless drivers can cause serious injuries requiring months of intensive treatment and rehabilitation.

Under Colorado Tort laws, property owners and individuals responsible for the upkeep of property are also responsible for keeping their property free of hazards that can cause accidents and injuries. Drivers are responsible for injuries they cause if they were driving drunk, recklessly or carelessly. Manufacturers are also legally responsible for the safety and effectiveness of their consumer or commercial products, and medical professionals are charged to do no harm. If someone didn’t do their job and you or a family member were injured or even killed, our Colorado personal injury attorneys can bring a case against the person responsible for the harm.

Motor Vehicle Accidents
The most common Colorado personal injury cases involve motor vehicle accidents, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats or bicycles. When drivers are talking on a cell phone, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or simply not paying attention, they can cause serious injuries. The Denver personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers can help you get compensation if you have been involved in an accident with any kind of motor vehicle.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Animals’ owners are also responsible under Colorado law for making sure that their animals don’t injure anyone. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, dogs bite over 4.7 million Americans every year. Most dog bite victims are friends or family members of the dog owner, and a majority of these victims are children.

If you’ve been hurt by a friend’s animal, contact Mary Jeffers for a free consultation about your Denver personal injury case.

Premises Liability
Premises liability is the type of law that covers private and public property. Under this kind of personal injury law, an individual who is injured on another person’s property can hold the owner responsible for their injuries. This includes not only the owners of private property, but public parks and recreational property as well.

Slip and Fall Accidents
When property or business owners don’t clean up spills or maintain flooring, individuals can slip and fall and get seriously injured. Slip and fall accidents cause everything from brain and spinal injuries to broken bones. Many of these injuries can lead to months or even years of rehabilitative therapy, and those medical bills can add up. With a Denver personal injury attorney on your side, you can get compensated for these medical bills, as well as the time at work you had to miss to recover from your injuries.

Recreational Personal Injuries
Colorado is famous for its many outdoor activities, but these activities carry some risk of injury.

Injuries incurred while enjoying recreational activities like these are also covered under Colorado personal injury law.

Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse
The medical professionals who work in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are supposed to care for elderly loved ones, but sometimes our elderly family members can suffer neglect or abuse.

If your loved one has been hurt or neglected in an assisted living facility, contact a Denver personal injury attorney to hold negligent nursing home professionals accountable.

“The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work,” declares the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration, also known as OSHA. OSHA is the government agency that is charged with setting and enforcing standards of health and safety in the nation’s workplaces. However, despite the best intentions of lawmakers and the efforts of OSHA, injuries happen all too frequently to Americans on the job.

The most recent statistics from OSHA report that nearly four out of every hundred U.S. workers suffered a nonfatal workplace injury or illness in the most recent year for which figures are available. Although four in 100 people may not sound like many, the fact is that it adds up to 3.7 million injuries and illness cases per year in private industry in our country. When it comes to injuries and illnesses that happen to workers in government jobs, the rate is higher – 6.3 cases per 100 employees working full time.

Sometimes, workplace injuries and illnesses are serious enough to cause employee deaths. Preliminary figures for 2009 put the nationwide toll at 4,340 workers who lost their lives to workplace injuries, and final data is expected to reflect higher numbers. It should be noted that the figures for workplace deaths include individuals who commit suicide on the job and those who are victims of homicide in the workplace. Other fatalities arise from such events as transportation accidents, incidents involving boats and other water vehicles, falls, contact with equipment or other objects, and exposure to hazardous environments and substances.

Jeffers.

When an early release to return to work occurs and an employee is pushed back into regular activities before they are fully recovered and ready it rarely results in a positive situation. The original injury may become re-aggravated or overcompensating for the injury may result in an entirely new injury.

If you have suffered an injury or illness at work it may critical for your well being that you recover fully from that injury prior to resuming regular activities.

If the evaluation reveals that you haven’t fully recovered from your injury, your Colorado workers’ compensation attorney can help to fight for you to receive the continued medical treatment that you are entitled to as part of your workers’ compensation benefits so that you can fully recover from your injury.

Mary Jeffers represented me in a workers’ compensation case and got me $30,000.00 in less than 6 months.  I was so happy I referred four people to Ms. Jeffers, including my mother and sister.

-D.A.

Mary Jeffers took my workers’ compensation case when no one else would.  I was very grateful for her representation and happy with the settlement of $10,000.00.

-C.K.

Mary Jeffers was very professional in representing me for my workers’ compensation case.  I felt she represented me to the highest standard and I was very pleased with the settlement that was obtained.

-B.L.

Mary Jeffers represented me in a workers’ compensation case.  I appreciated Mary getting me as much as she could in a settlement, as well as her open and honest communication.  I thought she did a great job.

-V.T.

My workers’ compensation injury was to an extremity; so many attorneys would not take my case.  Not only did Mary Jeffers take my case, she got me over $14,000.00 in a settlement.

-S.M.

My workers’ compensation doctor said I had no permanent impairment; therefore I would receive no money.  Attorney Jeffers had me go through the Division Independent Medical Examination process, and as a result, I received over $13,000.00 in settlement.

-J.M.

I was very pleased with the way Ms. Jeffers handled my workers’ compensation case.  Although my case was complicated by dealing with multiple insurance companies, Ms. Jeffers worked diligently for several months in order to achieve a compromise that satisfied all of the parties involved.

In the beginning, I found Ms. Jeffers to be very understanding and helpful with my original decision to pursue a workers’ compensation claim.  Then, during the next several months, she helped me to understand each step of the process by explaining what was happening and always being willing to answer my questions and concerns.

I would recommend Ms. Jeffers to anyone who is seeking an honest, competent and compassionate advocate.

-D.T.

When I contacted the Law Office of Mary E. Jeffers the insurance company was willing to offer me only $38,000.00, even though I couldn’t work.  Attorney Jeffers settled my case for $105,800.00 more than that!  I was also very pleased with Mary Jeffers’ firm and how they represented me through that difficult time.  I was so grateful, I couldn’t stop hugging her and her staff.

- B.G.

When I was working construction, I injured my right knee, left leg, back, neck, and shoulders.  The insurance company only admitted for my knee injury.  Therefore, they tried to settle for very little money.  They also completely ignored the disfigurement from my surgery!  Attorney Jeffers negotiated a settlement in which I recieved close to three times what the insurance company was willing to pay!!!

- R.M.

I chose the Law Office of Mary Jeffers to handle my personal injury case when I was hurt in a car wreck and I am absolutely certain I made the right choice.  Not only did I get a very large settlement, but I was referred to the best medical providers.  I would definitely recommend this law office to anyone looking for a personal injury attorney.

Kasey C.

When I injured my wrist, elbow and back while working as a customer service representative, my employer wanted to settle my case for approximately $6,000.  My employer also didn’t want to pay for the medical treatment on my back!  Attorney Jeffers took my case to hearing and won.  In less than six months, I received treatment for my back, and over $100,000 in benefits.

A.S.

While tearing down boxes at King Soopers, I experienced a meniscus tear in my right knee. Since my accident was unwitnessed, King Soopers denied my workers compensation claim.  Attorney Jeffers took my case to hearing and cross-examined King Soopers’ witness so that he had to admit that he knew I had injured myself at work!  I would recommend her to anyone!!

M.P.

I am a fireman who has known Attorney Jeffers since she opened up her own practice approximately 20 years ago.  I have referred her numerous clients over the years, and she has always done a fantastic job for the!!!

Rick

After I retained Attorney Jeffers, I wasn’t sure she could help me, and I almost terminated her.   I slipped and fell at KMart, and no one had offered me any money for my soft tissue injuries.   Attorney Jeffers ended up getting me $3000.00 even though my medical expenses were less than $1000.   I’m very glad I kept her as my attorney!

Results are obtained on a case by case basis, and Attorney Jeffers cannot guarantee the same results for all clients.

Your injury may have resulted from the repetitive stress put upon a certain part of your body stemming from the completion of your regular duties. Office workers who perform hour after hour of transcription or data entry or employees who are required to regularly repeat a specific action to operate a tool or piece of equipment may be susceptible to repetitive stress disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome. Just because there isn’t a single event that can clearly be pointed to as the cause of the injury, it doesn’t mean that the injury won’t be covered in a Colorado workers’ compensation claim.

If you’ve suffered any type of injury at work or as a result of your regular work duties, you should reach out to an experienced Colorado workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible.

If, however, your employer makes no referral you have the right to choose your own physician who will become the primary physician for treating your injury.  A Colorado workers compensation attorney will be able to direct you toward a physician that is experienced in caring for and treating the specific type of injury that you have sustained and that will only have your best interest in mind when prescribing a course of treatment.

Your employer and the workers compensation insurance company are most interested in saving money when they request that you visit a particular doctor for treatment, but a Colorado workers compensation attorney will seek the best treatment for your situation regardless of cost.  Your Colorado workers compensation attorney knows that you need the best possible care in order to fully recover from the injuries you sustained at your workplace.

In order to ensure that you receive the full benefits that you are entitled to and the best possible care, you should reach out to a qualified Colorado workers compensation attorney as soon as possible following a work related injury.

A qualified workers compensation attorney can also fight for your right to compensation for your injury with insurance companies and in the courts.

As someone suffering from a debilitating injury, the majority of your focus needs to be on treatment and recovery.  Constant worry about meeting deadlines and covering incoming bills is not an ideal situation for recovering from an injury or illness.

As soon as a work related injury or illness occurs, enlist the help of a qualified Colorado workers compensation attorney so you can be confident in the fact that your claim will be handled properly and that you’ll get every bit of compensation that you are entitled to from your Colorado workers compensation claim.

Colorado workers’ compensation also offers benefits for injuries that aren’t as outwardly obvious. You can collect Colorado workers’ compensation benefits for repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and even for mental issues, provided that you can prove that those injuries occurred as a result of your job duties or your work environment. Colorado workers’ compensation claims can even extend to injuries that weren’t sustained at your place of employment, provided that they occurred as a result of your job.

If you’ve suffered an injury or developed an illness as a result of your work or work environment you could be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, rehabilitation and for lost wages and suffering. There is a certain protocol that must be followed and schedule that must be kept in order for you to collect the benefits that you are entitled to though. Time is of the essence in your Colorado workers’ compensation claim so it’s important that you act quickly following an injury sustained at, or because of, your job. Reach out to an experienced Colorado workers’ compensation as soon as possible following an injury to discuss your rights and the possible pursuit of a claim for workers’ compensation benefits.

Because of this section of the Colorado workers compensation law, many employers actively seek out reasons to terminate employees or make every effort to force them to abandon their post in an effort to avoid having to pay workers compensation benefits.  If you’ve been fired following an injury sustained on the job or feel as though your employer is making unreasonable demands in an effort to cause you to quit you need to reach out to an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney as soon as possible.

A Colorado workers compensation attorney will be able to review the details of your case and make the determination of whether your employer acted unlawfully in any way.  If there is evidence available that you were wrongfully terminated or somehow forced to leave your job there are a number of actions that could be taken to restore employment and help ensure that you continue to receive all benefits that you are entitled to.

Colorado workers’ compensation benefits exist to provide security for you as an employee and to provide a clear method of delivering fair and reasonable benefits to those who get injured as a result of their job. The timeframe for receiving benefits and compensation via a workers’ compensation claim is much shorter and much more certain than that of a typical lawsuit which helps to ensure that injured employees have the support that they need at the time that they need it.

In order to determine your best course of action following an incident that occurs on the job and results in an injury, you need to get in contact with an experienced Colorado workers’ compensation attorney as soon as possible following the incident. A good workers’ compensation attorney will help guide you through every step of your workers’ compensation claim and help to ensure that every measure is taken so that you receive all of the benefits that you are entitled to following a work related injury.

A head injury is almost always a devastating injury.  If you hurt your head while working, it can disrupt your entire life.  Since the proper functioning of your brain is necessary for every job or occupation, it is important to get proper medical care for these injuries. Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law can properly evaluate your case to make sure that you will receive any and all compensation from those responsible.

Here is a summary of some common head injuries:

Closed Head Injury

A closed head injury occurs when the brain is injured as a result of a blow to the head, or a sudden, violent motion that causes the brain to knock against the skull.  A closed head injury is different from an open head injury in that no object actually penetrates the brain.  Closed head injuries can be focal, meaning that the damage to the brain occurs in one area or a closed head injury can be diffuse meaning that the damage to the brain affects cells and tissues throughout the brain.  Closed head injuries range from mild to severe.

Concussion

A concussion is a head injury that is also known as a mild traumatic brain injury.  Concussions can be classified as a major head injury or minor head injury.  Whether the concussion is major or minor, the injury interferes with brain function.  This head injury can cause confusion, a ringing sound in the ears, memory loss, lapses in judgment, trouble speaking, vomiting and loss of balance and coordination.  Other symptoms of this type of head injury can occur days later, such as depression, trouble sleeping, irritability and an increased sensitivity to noise and light.

Mild Brain Injury

A mild brain injury is a head injury which is defined as any disruption of brain function, as evidenced by loss of consciousness, loss of memory of events before or during the trauma or a head injury which results in change in emotion or mental state at the time of accident.  For this head injury to be classified as a mild brain injury, the injured worker or injury victim must not experience post-traumatic amnesia for more than 24 hours, and loss of consciousness, if any, may not be longer than 30 minutes.  This type of head injury is normally caused by trauma which is due to quick stops that cause whiplash, motorcycle accidents, sports-related accidents, falls, blows to the head, either accidentally or in violence, and car accidents.

Moderate/Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Symptoms associated with concussions can also be indicative of a more serious head injury which is referred to as moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries.  In addition to the head injury symptoms associated with concussions, a moderate and severe traumatic brain injury may cause persistent headaches, nausea and vomiting, dilation of the pupils (either one or both), a feeling of numbness or weakness in the extremities and seizures or convulsions.  Symptoms of this head injury could be the result of subarachnoid hemorrhaging which is bleeding between the brain and the thin tissues that cover it.  Symptoms of this head injury could also be the result of a subdural hematoma which is bleeding in the brain itself, which compresses brain tissue.

Skull Fracture

Skull fractures are a head injury consisting of breaks or cracks in the bone surrounding your brain.  This type of head injury can occur with or without brain damage.  Symptoms of this type of head injury include intense pain, bruises around the eyes also known as raccoon eyes or behind the ears, known as Battle’s sign.  This head injury can also result in the excretion of fluid from the nose (rhinorrhea) and/or ears (otorrhea).  This fluid is typically cerebrospinal fluid, which normally surrounds the surface of the brain, although blood has also been known to pour out from the ears.  While small fractures in the skull may require no treatment, seek medical attention if you detect a crack, as sometimes this head injury can result in infection and prove fatal.

If you or someone you know has suffered a head injury due to workplace or third party negligence contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

A back injury can be a devastating injury.  If you hurt your back while working, it can disrupt your entire life.  As your back is necessary for almost every job or occupation, it is important to get proper medical care for these injuries. Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law can properly evaluate your case to make sure that you will receive any and all compensation from those responsible.

Here is a summary of some common back injuries:

Spinal column fracture

At the center of the back is the spinal column, which is a vertical arrangement of vertebrae responsible for protecting the spinal cord (back) and serving for the support for the upper body.  Extreme trauma to the back caused by a car accident, slip and fall or a fall at work can fracture the vertebrae located in the thoracic (middle) or lumbar (lower) regions of the back.   When severe fractures occur, the spinal cord or back can suffer harm.  Frequently, this can paralyze any part of the body receiving commands from the damaged section of the back or spinal cord.

The following symptoms mean that you may have a fractured vertebra or back:

Mild to severe back pain that increases with movement

Numbness, prickling, weakness, and/or lack of bladder or bowel control are possible signs of spinal cord damage.

The five possible back fractures are as follows:

Flexion/distraction (chance) back fracture – this is a back injury in which vertebrae are separated from each other.  This can be the result of a head-on car crash or a work injury in which you are driving in the course and scope of employment in which the torso is viciously jolted forward, and the midsection and lower extremities are held in place by the lap belt.

Compression back fracture – front of the back vertebra breaks and is shortened, while the rear back vertebra remains intact.  This sort of personal injury or workplace injury is rather minor and does not feature the neurological complications of other back injuries.

Axial burst back fracture – Back vertebra breaks and front and rear is reduced in height.  This is often the result of a fall in a parking lot when shopping or at the workplace when the injured victim lands or stops the fall with their feet.

Back fracture-back dislocation – a single back vertebra might shift out of place.  This causes instability that impacts back bones and/or the adjacent back soft tissues.

Back Transverse process fracture – caused by the back doing rotating or violent movements during the course of an injury in the workplace or an injury caused by a motorcycle accident or a fall outside a business.

Back sprains and Back strains

A back sprain consists of damage to the tendons or muscles of the back.  A back strain occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn.  Tendons are the tough wiry, bands of tissue that fasten the muscle to the bone.  Ligaments are similar in texture, and they connect at least two bones to a joint.  Symptoms of back sprains and back strains that occur with the most frequency include: back pain (often intensifies with motion); unrelenting muscle cramps and spasms in the back; and range of motion reduction in the back (e.g. bending over, standing erect, walking).

These types of back injuries are often diagnosed based on a physician’s analysis of the injury victim’s or injured worker’s medical background and physical exam.  Often doctors recommend x-rays and MRI’s (magnetic resonance imaging) to determine if there is a fracture in the back or a herniated disc.

Treatment of back sprains and back strains is normally a two-step procedure.  For the first two days following a work injury or accident, the victim is normally instructed to avoid exertion, ice the injured region of the back, and apply pressure.  Anti-swelling medication may also be prescribed to manage back pain and prevent excessive swelling.  With correct treatment, this level of back injury normally subsides within a month’s time.  If you or a loved one is confronted with any one of these symptoms, medical attention should be sought without delay: back pain that interrupts sleep; lump or abnormal bulge in the area of the back injury; capacity to walk only a few steps before excruciating back pain prohibits further movement; lack of feeling or tingling beneath the point of injury or from the waist down; and medical history characteristic of many lower back injuries.

If you or someone you know has suffered a back injury due to workplace or third party negligence contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

One of the most common injuries that occurs offsite comes as a result of an auto accident.  Delivery drivers, outside sales people and a wide variety of construction personnel represent just a small percentage of jobs that largely take place outside of a building.  If you participate in any of these careers you are consistently at risk for an injury caused by a negligent third party and you have the same right to workers’ compensation benefits that workers injured inside of an office or warehouse have.

In addition to being entitled to Colorado workers’ compensation benefits, if you are injured by a third party, you also have a right to pursue legal action against the person responsible for your injury.  If you pursue legal action against a negligent third party and are awarded a settlement, the workers’ compensation insurance company can join you in the lawsuit in an attempt to collect workers’ compensation reimbursement for the funds that they put out for the injury.

A Colorado workers’ compensation claim may have many variables that can lead to confusion.  If you’ve suffered a work related injury don’t attempt to figure out the intricacies of the law on your own, reach out to a qualified Colorado workers’ compensation attorney to discuss your potential claim.

Not all workers compensation claims in Colorado can be reopened.  There are very specific time limits regarding reopening a Colorado workers compensation claims and depending upon the length of time that has passed since the initial claim, reopening it may be impossible.

You’ll also have to meet the burden of proof that your current condition is directly related to the injury from the initial claim. Most employers and insurance companies aren’t overly eager to dole out large sums of money for workers compensation claims in the first place, so getting them to reopen a claim that has already forced them to pay out benefits can be a serious challenge.

If you are experiencing pain and suffering from an injury caused at work, even if the injury has already been the focus of a workers compensation claim in the past, it is something that you need to pursue.  It’s likely that your employer or the workers compensation insurance company won’t be willing to extend further benefits without a fight, but the right Colorado workers compensation attorney will work diligently to help you win that fight so you can get the benefits that you deserve.

If you feel as though you need additional treatment from an injury sustained on the job, you need to contact a Colorado workers compensation attorney as soon as possible to discuss the details of your situation.

A shoulder injury can be a devastating injury. If you hurt your shoulder while working, it can disrupt your entire life. As your arms are necessary for almost every job or occupation, it is important to get proper medical care for these injuries. Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law can properly evaluate your case to make sure that you will receive any and all compensation from those responsible.

Here is a summary of some common shoulder injuries:

Dislocation
The shoulder joint is the most frequently dislocated major joint of the body. Dislocation is often caused by a significant force that separates the shoulder joint’s ball (the top rounded portion of the upper arm bone, or humerus) away from the joint’s socket or glenoid.

Separation
The shoulder becomes separated when the ligaments attached to the collarbone (clavicle) are torn, or partially torn, away from the shoulder blade (scapula). Shoulder separation may be caused by a sudden, forceful blow to the shoulder such as a fall from a ladder or a slip and fall in a parking lot.

Bursitis
Bursitis often occurs when tendonitis and impingement syndrome cause inflammation of the bursa sacs that protect the shoulder.

Impingement Syndrome
Impingement syndrome is caused by the excessive squeezing or rubbing of the rotator cuff and shoulder blade. The pain associated with this shoulder syndrome is a result of an inflamed bursa (lubricating sac) over the rotator cuff, and or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons, and/or calcium deposits in tendons due to wear and tear. Shoulder impingement syndrome can lead to a
torn rotator cuff.

Tendonitis
Tendonitis of the shoulder is caused when the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may become trapped under the acromion.

Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear involves one or more rotator cuff tendons becoming inflamed from overuse, aging, a fall from a roof at work or on ice in front of a store on an outstretched hand or a collision with a car, truck or other type of vehicle.

Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
Frozen shoulder is a severely restrictive condition frequently caused by injury that, in turn leads to lack of use due to pain. Intermittent periods of use may cause inflammation and adhesions to grow between the joint surfaces, thus restricting motion. There is also a lack of synovial fluid to lubricate the gap between the arm bone and socket that normally helps the shoulder joint to move. This restricted space between the capsule and ball of the humerus distinguishes adhesive capsulitis from the less complicated condition know as stiff shoulder.

Fracture
A fracture is a partial or total crack or break through a bone that usually occurs due to an impact injury.

Workplace Injuries &
Fatalities in the United States

Across the U.S., employees are injured in workplace accidents all to often. The most common causes of on-the-job fatalities:

Injuries and illness are most likely to occur in:

Companies employing fewer then 250 people

Local government workplaces
Manufacturing industries
Education and health services

If you or someone you know has been injured on the job or if you’ve contracted an illness because of your work, you may be entitled to receive medical benefits and financial compensation. Known as workers’ compensation, this medical and financial help was created in order to protect workers and the family members who depend on them. The unfortunate fact is that many of America’s workplaces can pose dangers to the employees who labor there. If you’ve been injured in a workplace accident or if you’ve become ill because you work with toxic substances, you need the advice of an attorney who is a specialist in workers’ compensation issues.

The law offices of Mary E. Jeffers offers you informed advice from a Denver workers’ compensation attorney who is experienced in handling job-related illness and injury issues. Because Attorney Jeffers brings a background in claims adjustment to her law practice, she offers a comprehensive understanding of workers’ compensation cases and the complex factors that can affect the benefits you might be eligible to receive. When you’ve been harmed on the job, the law office of Mary E. Jeffers will meet with you free of charge to learn the circumstances of your case and to provide you with the guidance you need to achieve the best outcomes for yourself and for the loved ones who rely on you.

“The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work,” declares the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration, also known as OSHA. OSHA is the government agency that is charged with setting and enforcing standards of health and safety in the nation’s workplaces. However, despite the best intentions of lawmakers and the efforts of OSHA, injuries happen all too frequently to Americans on the job.

The most recent statistics from OSHA report that nearly four out of every hundred U.S. workers suffered a nonfatal workplace injury or illness in the most recent year for which figures are available. Although four in 100 people may not sound like many, the fact is that it adds up to 3.7 million injuries and illness cases per year in private industry in our country. When it comes to injuries and illnesses that happen to workers in government jobs, the rate is higher – 6.3 cases per 100 employees working full time.

Sometimes, workplace injuries and illnesses are serious enough to cause employee deaths. Preliminary figures for 2009 put the nationwide toll at 4,340 workers who lost their lives to workplace injuries, and final data is expected to reflect higher numbers. It should be noted that the figures for workplace deaths include individuals who commit suicide on the job and those who are victims of homicide in the workplace. Other fatalities arise from such events as transportation accidents, incidents involving boats and other water vehicles, falls, contact with equipment or other objects, and exposure to hazardous environments and substances.

If you or someone you care about has suffered an injury or become ill due to hazardous conditions or other workplace issues, contact the Denver workers’ compensation lawyers at the offices of Mary E. Jeffers. We can advise you on your rights and we’ll take fast and decisive action to ensure that you and your loved ones receive the monetary and medical benefits you deserve if you’ve been injured at work. A serious injury or illness can mean the loss of your ability to earn a living, perhaps permanently. Don’t gamble with your future.

Workers’ Compensation Settlements

No one can force you to accept a lump sum settlement of your workers’ compensation case. At the same time, you can not force an insurance company to provide you with a lump sum payment. All parties involved will have to come to the same agreement beforehand.

Once you accept a lump sum payment, you are not entitled to any future benefits for lost wages, medical care or prescription drugs. If your health condition gets worse after the settlement, you will be responsible for your future medical needs. For this reason, you should never accept a lump sum settlement without consulting with a workers’ compensation attorney.

There is a lot to consider in determining a fair lump sum settlement amount. Please be aware that your Workers’ Compensation company or carrier does not represent your interests in these cases. They have a financial interest in settling your case for the lowest possible amount.

If you are being offered a lump sum payment from a Workers’ Compensation Claim, before you accept, you need to speak with an attorney here at Jeffers Denver Law.

From the moment your employer becomes aware of your accident or injury, there is a conflict of interests. Your employer and the workers’ compensation insurer are eager to control the costs of providing medical benefits. They will try to dictate the entire process ranging from which doctors you see to which treatments they will pay for. This is not legal. As a former Claims Adjuster for a large insurance company, Denver, Colorado Attorney Mary Jeffers knows the intricacies of these claims and the process in which employers and insurance companies alike operate.

If your claim has been accepted, the employer pays for all associated medical care expenses including:

* Emergency room, hospitalization and doctor visits
* Surgery and rehab
* Medications and medical equipment
* Modifications to your home or vehicle
* Home nursing care

There are no time limitations or restrictions on medical benefits. There are no co-pays or out-of-pocket costs. Workers’ comp does not generally pay for medical travel expenses.

Disputed Medical Claims

Employers and insurers may object to your claim if they believe your injury is not work-related. They may recognize one injury, but refuse to pay for others. Or they may later argue that certain treatments are no longer reasonable or necessary, however, insurance companies cannot simply refuse to cover your care once they have accepted a claim.

Contact Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law today to discuss further your medical benefits that you deserve after a workplace injury.

The level of damage done will be determined by your physician. He or she will determine a percentage of functioning that you have lost. For example, your physician may determine that you still have 50% functioning in your injured hand. Since a total injury (100% loss of functioning) would entitle you to compensation for 200 weeks, a 50% injury entitles you to 100 weeks of compensation.

Different body parts have different lengths of compensation: an eye is 100 weeks, while a thumb is 75 weeks. A Denver workers’ compensation lawyer can provide further details about your specific case.

Permanent Total Disability and Disfigurement

If you have lost functioning in both of your eyes, hands, feet, arms, or legs, or a combination of any two of these body parts, you may receive total disability compensation. This typically includes medical expenses and 2/3 of your wages for the rest of your life.
The law defines “disfigurement” as severe scars on the head or face, or permanent damage to an important bodily organ.

If you or someone you know has suffered a form of permanent disability, contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

Lost Wages — Calculating the Amount of Your Wages

Under the Workers’ Compensation Laws in Denver, injured workers are eligible to receive up to 66 and two-thirds percent of their average weekly wage after an accident. This is obtainable as long as your doctor believes that you are unable to work.
Your average weekly wage is calculated by determining the average amount you earned each week during the previous year. If you have not worked for your employer for a year, the law provides other methods to determine how much lost wage benefits you should receive.

There are a number of factors that make calculating your lost wage benefits more difficult. Issues can arise about the amount of wages a person earns over any given week. Jeffers Denver Law will make sure you receive credit for other income including:

• Overtime pay
• Per diem
• Other benefits received “in lieu of wages”

If you are suffering from an injury caused at work, and need to recover lost wages from your workers’ compensation claim, contact an experienced attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

Did you or a loved one have a heart attack on the job due to unusual exertion?  While not all heart attacks are the result of exertion at work, sometimes they are.

At the law firm of Mary Jeffers, we have the experience and skill to help you understand your rights as it pertains to ANY injuries while at work or on the job.  If you suspect that a heart attack was the result of an on-the-job circumstance, then you need a  highly skilled lawyer to help you understand Colorado Workers Compensation laws and regulations.

Having employees work harder and harder at work is not always a plus when it involves lifting and other highly strenuous activities, especially for those that may not have the ability to do so but do it anyway so they can simply keep their jobs.

• You may be a stocker at a supermarket or big box store and be required to lift heavy items all day every day.  That takes a toll on your body and your heart
• Working on a farm is certainly very difficult work but again, if that is your only option for work and the choice is lifting and keeping your job or not keeping your job, many people will do what they feel is necessary to stay employed, especially in a tough economy.

These are just some examples of stress related and strenuous activities that workers every day have to endure to keep their jobs.

Your insurance or your employer may not agree that a heart attack was related in any way to the work you had to do on a daily basis but at the Law Firm of Mary E. Jeffers, we are here to find out the truth and make sure you get compensated justly for any and all work related injuries.

Spinal cord injury causes many people to become disabled. It is estimated that annually there are 12,000 new cases of spinal cord injury in this country. Spinal cord injuries can be complete, causing complete paralysis or incomplete, causing partial paralysis. People with a spinal cord injury will continue to need medical care and various forms of personal assistance throughout their lives.

Vehicle accidents account for about half of all spinal cord injuries. Slip and Falls and criminal acts account for the other half.

Accidents may sometimes be unavoidable, but too often they are due to someone’s negligence. Sadly, many accidents could have been prevented with a little attention to safety concerns. Reckless driving and disregard for workplace safety on the part of employers are two examples of negligent behavior that can lead to a spinal cord injury.

Many expenses occur after a spinal cord injury; some of which you may not even realize at first. These expenses can include:

• Hospitalization
• Medical care throughout the person’s life
• Caregivers at home
• Rehabilitation
• Counseling and Psychiatric care
• Lost wages
• Expenses not covered by existing health insurance
• Travel expenses for medical care
• Various support services for the injured person’s family
• Funeral expenses

There are two types of subrogation: legal and conventional. Legal subrogation arises by operation of law, whereas conventional subrogation is a result of a contract.

Legal subrogation takes place as a matter of equity, with or without an agreement. The right of legal subrogation can be either modified or extinguished through a contractual agreement. It cannot be used to displace a contract agreed upon by the parties.

Conventional subrogation arises when one individual satisfies the debt of another as a result of a contractual agreement that provides that any claims or liens that exist as security for the debt be kept alive for the benefit of the party who pays the debt. It is necessary that the agreement be supported by consideration; however, it does not have to be in writing and can be either express or implied.

Jeffers Denver Law handles all types of insurance subrogation cases, including:

* Commercial
* Residential
* Governmental
* Fire
* Flood
* Professional negligence
* Product failure

Lifting, Pushing, Turning and Pulling injuries can range from causes such as entering data on the keyboard, loading and unloading trucks or pushing and pulling objects. The human body was not intended to perform repetitive tasks hour after hour, day after day, while in essentially the same position. Serious injury, including repetitive stress injury, can result from working under these conditions.

Some of these issues that we have seen due to pushing, pulling, lifting or other repetitive motions include:

• Trigger finger injuries related to constant movement of a computer mouse by a data entry worker or other office worker
• Repetitive lifting injuries in the rotator cuff, elbow, back, neck or shoulder area
• Knee injury or a meniscus tear due to prolonged squatting
• Other injury, including back and neck injury, due to lifting, pushing, turning or pulling repeatedly

Knee Injuries can be a devastating injury. If you hurt your knee while working, it can disrupt your entire life.  As the legs are the base for all movement, it is important to get proper medical care for these injuries. Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law can properly evaluate your case to make sure that you will receive any and all compensation from those responsible.

Here is a summary of some common knee injuries:

ACL
The anterior cruciate ligament is the primary restraint to forward motion of the shin bone (tibia). The femur (thigh bone) sits on top of the tibia (shin bone), and the knee controls the movement where these bones meet. The ligaments stabilize the knee. The ACL prevents the tibia from sliding too far forward. The ACL also contributes stability to other movements of the knee including the rotation at the knee joint. The ACL performs these functions by attaching to the femur on one end, and to the tibia on the other.
When an ACL injury occurs, the knee becomes less stable. The ACL injury is a problem because this instability can make sudden, pivoting movements difficult, and it may make the knee more prone to developing arthritis and cartilage tears. This is another injury that is common to athletes, more frequently in females than in males.

Meniscus Tears

Meniscus tears are also referred to as cartilage tears. There are two menisci located in your knee. The menisci are made of tough cartilage and conform to the surfaces of the bones upon which they rest. They rest between the thigh bone (femur) and the shin bone (tibia). Meniscus tears are usually accompanied by pain and swelling. People sometimes feel a joint locking and have problems straightening the knee completely.

There are two common causes of a meniscus tears or cartilage tears. A traumatic injury, which is more common in athletes, can cause a cartilage tear. In such a case the tear usually occurs when the knee is bent and then twisted. Another cause is the degenerative process which generally occurs in older adults. As we get older it becomes easier to wear and tear cartilage.

MCL
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is another ligament that controls the stability of the knee. It spans the distance from the end of the femur (thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (shin bone) and is on the inside of the knee joint. The medial collateral ligament keeps the joint from widening or “opening up.” Because the medial collateral ligament resists widening of the inside of the knee joint, the MCL is usually injured when the outside of the knee joint is struck. This is commonly referred to as the “buckling of the knee.” The MCL can also tear if it is stretched too far.

If you or someone you know has suffered a knee injury due to workplace or third party negligence, contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

Permanent Injuries to Arms, Legs, Eyes and Ears

If you have been injured at work, workers’ compensation laws have been put into place to protect you and make sure that you are justly compensated for these injuries, providing for medical benefits and lost wages.

Sometimes these injuries result in the loss of part of your body.  Yes, you may still have the ability to work, but you should receive compensation for this loss. Workers’ Compensation has come up with a ratings scale to help you understand what the appropriate compensation is.

Extremity ratings refer to compensation for loss of function.

Whole person ratings refer to permanent disabilities that affect the entire body. Extremity ratings — also called scheduled ratings — refer to specific extremities. Permanent impairment awards are determined by how much function has been lost according to an evaluation by the attending doctor. The amount of financial payment you receive for your disability is determined by statute.

The upper extremities are defined as the arms and any part of the arms, including hands and fingers. The lower extremities include the legs, feet and toes. The ears (loss of hearing) are included as scheduled impairments.

At the Law Firm of Mary Jeffers, we are interested in your best well-being and will except nothing less than the compensation you are due for the injuries you sustained while working for your company.

Workers’ Compensation Death Benefits * Free Consultation

Paralysis accidents are not as common as other personal injuries, but do happen more frequently than one would assume. Partial or Full Paralysis can occur from accidents that may involve motor vehicles, slip and fall accidents or injuries at construction sites just to name a few.

Mary Jeffers of Jeffers Denver Law knows that such situations cause grief for those involved and their families, and that more often than not, monetary compensation can be the best if not only justice given to family. Though monetary gains from such a tragic accident cannot bring back the health of a victim, it can be used to meet the expenses and other financial burdens that can be associated with the injury.

If you or someone you know has suffered paralysis due to the negligence of someone else, those who are responsible for your condition are obliged by law to compensate you for your mental and physical suffering. Contact Mary Jeffers at Jeffers Denver Law to discuss the steps to get the justice that you deserve.

Permanent Injuries to Arms, Legs, Eyes and Ears

If you have been injured at work, workers’ compensation laws have been put into place to protect you and make sure that you are justly compensated for these injuries, providing for medical benefits and lost wages.

Sometimes these injuries result in the loss of part of your body.  Yes, you may still have the ability to work, but you should receive compensation for this loss. Workers’ Compensation has come up with a ratings scale to help you understand what the appropriate compensation is for these particular work related injuries.

Extremity ratings refer to compensation for loss of function.

Whole person ratings refer to permanent disabilities that affect the entire body. Extremity ratings — also called scheduled ratings — refer to specific extremities. Permanent impairment awards are determined by how much function has been lost according to an evaluation by the attending doctor. The amount of financial payment you receive for your disability is determined by statute.

The upper extremities are defined as the arms and any part of the arms, including hands and fingers. The lower extremities include the legs, feet and toes. The ears (loss of hearing) are included as scheduled impairments.

At the Law Firm of Mary Jeffers, we are interested in your best well-being and will except nothing less than the compensation you are due for the injuries you sustained while working for your company.

Call Mary Jeffers office now at 303-573-7948 for your free Workers’ Compensation Extremity Ratings consultation and let’s get started putting the pieces back together today.

Jeffers Denver Law has handled numerous personal injury cases involving many types of repetitive motion, such as:

• Bending or Lifting Heavy Objects
• Constant Hand Motions
• Continuous Typing
• Staying Bent Over for Extended Periods of Time

These are just a few of the examples of repetitive motions that can lead to a serious injury.

Injured workers with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome initially feel numbness and tingling of the hand in the distribution of the median nerve (the thumb, index, middle and part of the fourth fingers).  Tests that are done to determine if you have Carpal Tunnel or other repetitive motion injuries such as Bursitis (Tennis Elbow), Tendonitis, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also called Complex Regional Pain Disorder (CRPD) which is a severe and chronic injury to the central nervous system that can lead to a lifetime of pain and discomfort, are electromyography, nerve conduction velocity, and wrist x-rays.  Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome includes wearing splints at night, and hot and cold compresses.  Injured workers may also need to make changes in their work duties or at their work station.  If conservative treatment fails, a surgery known as carpal tunnel release may be recommended.

Anatomy similar to that of the wrist and hand exists in the ankle and foot.  “Tarsal” is a word derived from the Latin word for “ankle”.  When the sensory nerve that passes though the tarsal tunnel is irritated by pressure in the tunnel, numbness and tingling of the foot and toes can be felt.  This condition is referred to as Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and is treated similarly to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Any injury that can be a result of repetitive motion in Denver can be well represented by Jeffers Denver Law.

If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of repetitive motion, contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

Being injured at work can be hard enough but if those injuries result in disfigurements as well like scarring or loss of limb, things can be much more difficult.  The last thing you need is to have to fight with companies or insurance companies to get the benefits you deserve.

Colorado law provides for you to be paid benefits if you have a scar or other disfigurement due to an industrial injury or occupational disease.

• For an injury that occurred before July 1, 2007, you are entitled to an award for disfigurement of up to $2,000 if you have  a serious and permanent scar or other disfigurement to the head, face or parts of the body normally exposed to public view.

• For an injury that occurred on or after July 1, 2007, you are entitled to an award for disfigurement of up to $4,000 if you have a serious and permanent scar or other disfigurement to the head, face or parts of the body normally exposed to the public view. “Permanent” usually means that the scar or disfigurement exists at least six months after the date of the injury or last surgery, or that a physician has determined that the claimant has reached maximum medical improvement. “Public view” means that the scar or disfigurement is visible when the claimant is wearing a swimsuit.

Recent changes to Colorado law now entitle a claimant to an award of up to $8,000 if he or she has extensive facial scars or facial burn scars; extensive body scars or burn scars; or stumps due to loss or partial loss of limbs.

If you believe that an award for disfigurement is appropriate the first thing you have to do is hire an attorney.  The Law Office of Mary Jeffers has the knowledge and skill to guide you through these difficulties.   Remember, insurance companies are not looking out for your best interest but instead they are looking out for THEIR best interest.

At the Law Firm of Mary Jeffers, we are interested in your best well-being and will except nothing less than the compensation you are due for the injuries you sustained while working for your company.

A negligence claim requires that a third party’s action caused the injury and that the injury was foreseeable.   An intervening cause may break the connection between the injury and the defendant’s action subsequently destroying a negligence claim. If the intervening cause is foreseeable, however, the defendant will still be liable.

There are two types of intervening causes:
• Dependent intervening causes are set in motion by the defendant and will usually not relieve the third party of liability.
• Independent intervening causes are events that arise totally independent of any action by the third party. If it is unforeseeable and causes the harm, it relieves the third party of liability.

What Is Intervening Cause?

The most common forms of intervening causes can be acts of nature such as weather, earthquakes, and animal attacks, or criminal conduct. If the weather was reasonably foreseeable, however, this will not absolve the defendant of liability. So if the weather report warned of bad weather or it was clear to the average person that the weather would be bad, this claim will not succeed.

If you are involved in a current personal injury case and an intervening injury occurs, contact the skilled Attorneys of Jeffers Denver Law to assist you in proving that the intervening injury is not a cause for dismissal of the initial lawsuit.

The results of an electrocution can be devastating, and lead to symptoms that can be lifelong and include:
• Headaches
• Irritability
• Sleep Disturbances
• Fatigue
• Seizures
• Chronic Pain
• Depression and Emotional Problems
Mary Jeffers, a Denver Attorney works closely with a number of electrical engineers in Denver and the state of Colorado. We utilize their expertise in their respective fields when handling electrocution and electro shock cases. We have experience dealing with dangerous power lines, faulty electrical equipment, power lines that are located too close to buildings, improperly maintained power lines and protectors, cable and communication lines that have been charged with stray voltages and faulty wiring due to installation negligence.

Proving Electrocution and Electric Shock Injuries

It is often very difficult to prove electrical shock injuries. That is why we work with the best and the brightest electrical engineers in Denver and Colorado. While electrocution is proven by death, electrical shock often leaves no evidence of a physical injury that can be substantiated in the courts. Mary Jeffers of Jeffers Denver Law will work hard to show the nature of the injuries, how they occurred and what effects they have left on you long after the initial injury has taken place.

Back Injury

If your Back pain does not resolve, you could have a disc herniation at L-5-S1.  The most common lower back injuries resulting from accidents involve the facets of L4-5 and L5-S1.  This injury may result in a lumbar disc herniation which could require a surgical discectomy and decompression.  Lower back problems can also cause symptoms around the buttocks and hip.

The causes of back pain can be very complex and it is often more difficult to get an accurate diagnosis for Back pain or Neck pain than for other medical conditions.  Typical tests a car accident victim or an injured worker may undergo include lumbar spine x-rays (films), CT scans (computed axial tomography scans), MRI scans (magnetic resonance imaging), myelograms, post myelographic CT scans, EMG/NCV (electromyogram/nerve conduction velocity) studies, discograms, and bone density tests.  If your Neck pain does not resolve, you may have a disc herniation at C6-7.  Such an injury may also require a discectomy.

Types of injuries to the neck are as follows:
crick in neck, muscle strain, neck sprain, whiplash, herniated disc, stinger and burners, neck fractures, cervical dislocations, and spinal cord injuries.  The neck injuries that are most commonly associated with car accidents, slip and falls, and workplace injuries are neck muscle sprains or an injury to the muscles that move the spine, neck sprains or injuries to the ligaments in the neck, whiplash which is a set of neck symptoms following an injury in which the head is thrown first into hyperextension and then quickly forward, herniated disc which occurs when the soft substance on the inside of a neck disc (nucleus pulposis) is pushed out, neck fracture which is a break in a cervical bone, cervical dislocation which occurs when a neck bone moves out of its normal position creating spinal instability, and a spinal cord injury that occurs when a fracture, dislocation or other neck injury damages the spinal cord.

Radiculopathy as well as sciatica is the radiation of pain to the lower extremity such as leg pain.  It is the result of pressure on a nerve root, usually by a herniated lumbar disc.  Besides a disc, other sources of compression may be arthritic spurs, spinal stenosis and foraminal stenosis.

We have seen the life changes that a serious head or back injury can have. We recognize that a vehicle accident or other accident resulting in a personal injury will have a lasting impact not only on you, but also on your family. Jeffers Denver Law will assist you with claims involving:

• Head injuries
• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Other serious injuries: organ damage, amputations, torn ligaments, torn rotator cuffs, or other severe injuries requiring operative care, physical therapy, or other medical care

After an accident, back and neck pain can be sudden and severe, but some people do not feel pain until several hours after trauma. Most back and neck injuries are ligament or muscle injuries such as sprains or strains. This type of injury hopefully will resolve within a couple months with proper medical care.

If you or someone you know has been injured and is experiencing neck or back pain, contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

Slip and fall accidents occur virtually everywhere – in a supermarket or shopping mall; at school or at an office; or on a sidewalk. Your slip and fall may be caused, for example, by a defect in flooring, which may be wet or uneven, or else it may be attributable to inadequate lighting that obstructs your ability to foresee a danger.

A slip and fall accident can cause severe and often lifelong injuries. Therefore, if you suffer a slip and fall injury, your first course of action should be to seek immediate medical attention. After you have been treated, you should call Jeffers Denver Law to further assist you in your possible lawsuit to hold those responsible for your injuries and monetary obligations.

Mary Jeffers of Jeffers Denver Law will work hard to prove that a slip and fall accident is the responsibility of the property owner and that he failed to remedy it.

Slip and fall cases are often challenging and difficult to prove. We must show first, that the reason for the slip and fall was the result of negligence on the place the injury occurred, and if there was a chance or enough time for either an employee or city worker to fix and or clean up the hazardous area before the injury occurred. Jeffers Denver Law will work hard to get any videos, witness testimonies or other clarifications as to the injury to show that your slip and fall accident could have been avoided but was not due to the negligence of someone else.

If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of a slip and fall accident, contact an attorney at Jeffers Denver Law today.

In Denver, poor weather conditions, road conditions, driver fatigue, and DUI are the leading causes of accidents on the road today. What this really means is that auto accidents can be caused for a variety of reasons.  With poor weather and roads aside, the number one reason for an auto accident in Denver is driver negligence. Talking on cell phones, text messaging, eating and generally not giving full attention to the operation of their motor vehicle is the leading cause of car and truck accidents.

Common Vehicle Accidents

• auto accidents

• trucking accidents

• motorcycle accidents

• bus accidents

• boat accidents

• bicycle accidents

• pedestrian accidents

Have You Been Seriously Injured In An Auto Accident?

There are several types of bone fractures that can occur to a person who has been involved in an accident or injury. Some, such as hairline fractures may not hurt as much as a full break, but over time can develop into a much more serious injury.

Other types of fracture are:

* Complete Fracture
* Incomplete Fracture
* Linear Fracture
* Transverse Fracture
* Compression Fracture
* Compacted Fracture
* Open Fracture

At Jeffers Denver Law, we will work closely with your physician to assertain the exact nature of the fracture so we can best represent you in court. We will seek any and all compensation for medical bills as well as compensation for loss of work and mental anguish that is due to a personal injury of this nature.

The compensation amount for a person who suffered a bone fracture often depends on the type of fracture, the type of treatment, the period of recovery, and the nature of the disability caused by the fracture. An extensive understanding of fractures is necessary for an attorney to achieve the best result for the client.

If you suffered a bone fracture in an accident, you should contact our firm immediately.

If you would like to learn more about your legal options, your rights, and how you might be able to recover damages for your bone fracture, the best thing you can do is to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney here at Jeffers Denver Law.

Your Denver Workers Compensation Experts
In 1970, the US federal government passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act in order to protect American workers from illnesses and injuries on the job.  Since then, the US Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has enforced regulations to protect workers and improve workplace safety. Unfortunately, accidents still happen, and workers are still getting sick or injured on the job. According to OSHA statistics, there were 3.3 million workers injured in the United States in 2009. That’s over three million people who got sick or hurt because of conditions at their workplace.
Injuries and illnesses contracted in the workplace can be the result of many different factors. Common workplace accidents include:

• Slips and Falls: When spills aren’t cleaned up in a timely manner or floors aren’t properly maintained, workers can slip and fall. Slips and falls cause injuries ranging from broken bones to spine injuries that require months of rehabilitation.
• Toxic Substance Exposure: Manufacturing and other industries use toxic chemicals to make the products consumers use every day, and exposure to these chemicals can cause illness in the workers that handle them. Improper handling or storage of toxic substances can also cause chemical burns or blindness.
• Assault in the Workplace: Violence in the workplace can also cause injuries to workers because of assaults.
• Fires and Explosions: Workers in construction or manufacturing industries can also suffer burns or injuries due to fires and explosions when flammable substances aren’t properly handled or fire safety regulations aren’t followed.
• Vehicle Accidents: Workers in the transportation industry can also suffer injuries due to motor vehicle accidents on the job. Industrial vehicles like trucks or forklifts can also cause accidents.
• Equipment Accidents: Defective or improperly maintained equipment in manufacturing or construction can malfunction, causing many different types of injuries.

The workers compensation system is designed to make sure that workers can get health care and take care of their families after getting sick or being injured in the workplace. However, the system doesn’t always work the way it is supposed to, and many workers can go without adequate help in their time of need. A dedicated workers compensation attorney can fight for the right of the injured worker to be compensated for their injuries. The attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers believe strongly in the rights of workers to have compensation for illnesses or injuries suffered on the job. Attorney Mary Jeffers has a background as a claims adjuster, so she understands all the details of workers compensation claims.

The workers compensation system can also be confusing for many people, with state and federal government agencies handling different aspects of a workers compensation case. In addition to trying to heal from workplace injuries, many people have to handle a mountain of paperwork and coordinate with doctors, insurance companies and the workers compensation administration. A Denver workers compensation attorney has experience in handling all aspects of these cases. With an attorney on their side, injured workers can get back to healing and stop worrying about medical bills and providing for their families.

Colorado Workers Compensation Overview
When workers are injured on the job or get sick because of the workplace environment, the Colorado workers compensation system is designed to help these workers get the health care they need to get well and get back to work. The workers compensation system is a large government system, and often injured workers need help navigating it. That’s where an experienced Colorado workers compensation attorney can help. The attorneys at the Denver law office of Mary Jeffers have years of experience navigating the workers compensation system in Colorado to get injured or sick workers the compensation they deserve.
Our attorneys have experience helping get worker’s comp benefits for injuries such as:

• spinal cord injuries

Workers Compensation System Explained
One of the reasons why many people are confused about workers compensation is because of the different government agencies involved in protecting workers from injury and helping them back on their feet after an injury or illness. If you or someone you love has been hurt on the job or gotten sick because of conditions in the workplace, an experienced attorney can explain your rights and assist you with the process of pursuing a claim. Even with the assistance of an attorney, it can be helpful to understand a bit about the workers compensation system in the US.

OSHA
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, is responsible for regulating safety precautions and health standards in America’s workplaces. This is a federal government agency that gives outlines for employers on maintaining safe and healthy work environments, although they are not responsible for compensating workers after they are injured. OSHA is important for injured workers because this organization makes rules for companies about how to keep their workers safe. If the employer doesn’t follow OSHA regulations and a worker gets injured, this can affect the worker’s compensation plan. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help hold employers responsible for breaking OSHA regulations.
OSHA also keeps statistics about workplace injuries and illnesses in the US. According to OSHA statistics, in 2009, 3.6 out of every 100 workers in the private sector suffered nonfatal injuries or illnesses at work. State government workers were higher at 4.6 out of 100, and federal government workers had the highest injury and illness rate of 6.3 workers per 100.

Federal Workers Compensation System
Even though the federal government sets down the safety regulations for US workplaces, they only handle workers compensation cases for federal employees. The US Department of Labor contains the Division of Federal Employees’ Compensation, or DFEC, which “provides workers’ compensation coverage to three million federal and postal workers around the world for employment-related injuries and occupational diseases,” according to their website. The DFEC only covers individuals who work for a federal government agency, not state or local government workers or employees of private companies.

Colorado Workers Compensation System
All employees of state and local government agencies, as well as all employees of private companies in Colorado will have their workers compensation claims heard by the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment’s Division of Workers’ Compensation. This government agency handles cases of workers who have suffered an accident and gotten injured on the job, as well as workers who have contracted a disease or suffered an illness as the result of conditions in their workplace. The division also works with insurance companies, medical professionals and employers to see that injured workers can get adequate medical treatment.

The Colorado workers compensation system is very complex, and it can be hard for an injured worker to understand and navigate. That’s where the experienced Denver workers compensation attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers can help. Mary Jeffers worked within the system as a claims adjuster for many years, and eventually took her expertise to her law practice. Our attorneys have the knowledge and experience to help Colorado workers who have been injured or gotten sick because of their job.
Our knowledgeable Colorado workman’s comp attorneys can help you with many different aspects of your case, including:

• Filing a claim
• Adjusting a claim
• Opening a closed claim
• Getting the maximum amount of benefits
• Getting an independent medical examination
• Filing for Temporary disability benefits
• Determining permanent medical impairment status

Denver Personal Injury Attorney
Unfortunately, accidents don’t just happen on the job. Automobile accidents caused by reckless or careless drivers can cause serious injuries requiring months of intensive treatment and rehabilitation. When someone gets injured when a property or business owner ignores hazards, individuals can suffer slip and fall accidents, broken bones, spinal injuries or other injuries.  When medical professionals are negligent, individuals can get infections or have other medical problems.  In all these cases, the injured party can bring a personal injury lawsuit against the person who is responsible for their injuries.

The attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers are dedicated to making sure individuals with serious injuries get adequate compensation for their medical bills and lost wages, and they are your Denver personal injury attorneys as well as workers’ compensation attorneys. Not only do our attorneys understand the Colorado workers comp system, but they understand Colorado personal injury laws as well. When you have a personal injury case in the Denver area, call the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers for a free consultation.
Our dedicated attorneys have handled cases in the following law practice areas:

• amputations
• asbestos exposure
• broken bones
• burns
• car accidents
• dog bites
• electrical injuries
• food borne illnesses

• motorcycle accidents
• nursing home abuse or neglect
• neck injuries
• paralysis
• pedestrian accidents
• premises liability
• slip and fall accidents
• spinal injuries
• toxic substance exposure
• traumatic brain injury
• wrongful death

If you or a loved one has suffered one of these injuries in the Denver area because someone else was negligent or careless, you might have a personal injury case. Our compassionate Denver personal injury attorneys can hold the person who caused your injuries responsible for their actions in a court of law and help you get compensated for medical bills and loss of wages.

Colorado Personal Injury Law Experts
Under Colorado Tort laws, property owners and individuals responsible for the upkeep of property are also responsible for keeping their property free of hazards that can cause accidents and injuries. Drivers are responsible for injuries they cause if they were driving drunk, recklessly or carelessly. Manufacturers are also legally responsible for the safety and effectiveness of their consumer or commercial products, and medical professionals are charged to do no harm. If someone didn’t do their job and you or a family member were injured or even killed, our Colorado personal injury attorneys can bring a case against the person responsible for the harm.

Motor Vehicle Accidents
The most common Colorado personal injury cases involve motor vehicle accidents, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats or bicycles. When drivers are talking on a cell phone, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or simply not paying attention, they can cause serious injuries. The Denver personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers can help you get compensation if you have been involved in an accident with any kind of motor vehicle.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Animals’ owners are also responsible under Colorado law for making sure that their animals don’t injure anyone. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, dogs bite over 4.7 million Americans every year. Most dog bite victims are friends or family members of the dog owner, and a majority of these victims are children. Dog bites aren’t the only personal injuries caused by animals: horses, livestock and other pets can also cause serious personal injuries. If you’ve been hurt by a friend’s animal, contact Mary Jeffers for a free consultation about your Denver personal injury case.

Premises Liability
Premises liability is the type of law that covers private and public property. Under this kind of personal injury law, an individual who is injured on another person’s property can hold the owner responsible for their injuries. This includes not only the owners of private property, but public parks and recreational property as well.

Slip and Fall Accidents
When property or business owners don’t clean up spills or maintain flooring, individuals can slip and fall and get seriously injured. Slip and fall accidents cause everything from brain and spinal injuries to broken bones. Many of these injuries can lead to months or even years of rehabilitative therapy, and those medical bills can add up. With a Denver personal injury attorney on your side, you can get compensated for these medical bills, as well as the time at work you had to miss to recover from your injuries.

Recreational Personal Injuries
Colorado is famous for its many outdoor activities, but these activities carry some risk of injury. Vacationers and Colorado natives alike can be injured while skiing, horseback riding, swimming, boating or hiking.  Injuries incurred while enjoying recreational activities like these are also covered under Colorado personal injury law.

Nursing Home Neglect or Abuse
The medical professionals who work in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are supposed to care for elderly loved ones, but sometimes our elderly family members can suffer neglect or abuse. Elder abuse or nursing home neglect can sometimes be hard to spot; family members should look for injuries or sudden changes in health or mood. If your loved one has been hurt or neglected in an assisted living facility or neglect, contact a Denver personal injury attorney to hold negligent nursing home professionals accountable.

Wrongful Death
It’s tragic when an accident results in death, but families of loved ones who have been killed in an auto accident or other accident can hold negligent drivers or property owners responsible for the death they caused. The Denver personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers are compassionate about a family’s grief, and they can help ensure that other families don’t have to go through the same tragedy. Our attorneys can take on those responsible for injuries that result in death.

Your Denver Area Personal Injury Attorney
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence in Denver or surrounding counties, the knowledgeable personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers can advise you on the best way to proceed in your personal injury case. We offer a free consultation about the facts of your case, and we can help you determine the best course of action. Our attorneys can also help you through the entire legal process: collecting all your medical documentation, proving the negligence of the person responsible for your injuries, as well as fighting in the court room for your right to compensation.
Investigation

Time is of the essence in many personal injury cases because you have to gather evidence to show the conditions that led to your accident. Your attorney will help you gather evidence like photographs of hazards or traffic camera footage of a motor vehicle accident, and then use this evidence in court to show the judge how your accident led to your injuries.

Medical Documentation
Another important aspect of many personal injury cases is thoroughly documenting the illness or injuries suffered by the injured party. Your attorney will help you gather all medical documents and bills into one place to help the court understand the seriousness of your injuries and show the expenses you incurred treating your illness or injury. The experienced attorneys at the Law Offices of Mary Jeffers also have contacts with independent medical professionals who will document your injury or illness for the court.
Your Court Case
In court, your Denver personal injury attorney will help you get compensation for pain and suffering, lost wages and medical bills. They will use the evidence to prove that your injuries were the result of negligence, and they will provide medical documentation of your injuries or illnesses. Armed with this information, your attorney will fight for your rights in the court room and make sure that you get the maximum compensation.

Brain Injuries are often initially very difficult to diagnose and treat because these types of injuries can take a while to develop or can appear right away. This is the reason most brain injury victims need ongoing medical supervision and treatment. Without proper care, you may never completely recover from the symptoms brought on by your brain injury.

Common Brain Injury Side Effects & Symptoms

There are numerous complicated side effects and symptoms that are associated with brain injuries.  These side effects can include:

* loss of consciousness
* dizziness
* persistent headaches
* loss of coordination
* imbalance
* loss of mobility
* mood swings
* behavioral changes
* loss of normal respiratory function
* loss of memory
* slurred speech
* weakness in certain limbs

Have you suffered from a brain injury?

If you answered yes, and you believe that another person’s negligence caused your injury, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit.  If you file a personal injury lawsuit, and you are successful, you may be able to recover compensation for your brain injury and numerous other things, such as your:  medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

If you would like to learn more about your legal options, your rights, and how you might be able to recover damages for your brain injury, the best thing you can do is to speak with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney here at Jeffers Denver Law.

Symptoms of Personal Injury caused by Asbestos vary greatly, and some may not even appear for years after your contact with asbestos.  Some symptoms of asbestos injuries are:

* Chest pain
* Fluid surrounding the lung
* Shortness of breath
* Fatigue
* Wheezing, hoarseness, or persistent cough
* Blood coughed up

These symptoms may not always be the result of asbestos injuries. If you or someone you know is suffering from any of these symptoms, Jeffers Denver Law suggests you visit your local physician or hospital and get tested.

If you have suffered an amputation as a result of negligence due to someone else, there is a good possibility the injury is more serious then if caused by yourself because you as the victim were unprepared for the possibility of such an injury occurring.

Causes of Amputations

Amputations are usually the result of a separate serious personal injury. An example of this is if your arm is involved in an industrial accident with faulty or misused equipment or due to any car accident, normally a hit and run accident. Physicians can often make the determination that the limb involved in the injury can not be saved thus the amputation is the only remaining option. Even if the limb involved could be saved, this can lead to additional and even more serious injuries and infections.

Jeffers Denver Law cannot ease the pain and suffering you have due to the loss of a limb from a personal injury accident, but we will make sure those parties responsible for your injuries are held accountable and you receive the proper compensation owed.

The Colorado Workers Compensation Act’s stated intent is to allow injured workers to represent themselves without an attorney or lawyer.  In Colorado, claimants often represent themselves without a lawyer.  The reality is the Colorado workers compensation system is very a rule-oriented process and a trap for a Colorado injured worker or victim who is not a Colorado attorney or Colorado lawyer.  These are the fifteen (15) secrets that a Colorado claims adjuster or Colorado claims representative does not want you to know, and you won’t, if you do not hire a Colorado workers compensation attorney, a Colorado workers compensation lawyer, a Colorado personal injury attorney or a Colorado personal injury lawyer:

1.  In the event you are injured in the course and scope of your employment in Colorado, you have four (4) days to provide written notice to your employer of your work-related injury.

2.  The Colorado employer/insurer has twenty (20) days after the filing of the report of your workers compensation incident with the Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation (the Division) to admit that your injury occurred at work or contest (deny) that your injury occurred at work.

3.  If you are injured in the course and scope of your employment in Colorado, you have a right to compensation for mileage to and from your health care appointments.  Often times, claims adjusters working for the insurance company “forget” to advise you of this.  It this omission is done on a mass basis, this results in millions of dollars of additional profits for insurance companies, such as the Colorado based insurance company, Pinnacol.

4.  In the event you are unable to work due to a work-related injury, your employer or the workers compensation insurance company owes you 2/3 of the average weekly wage of your salary which is temporary total disability benefits.  In the event your employer or the workers compensation insurance company admits for these benefits, they must pay you at least once every two weeks.

5.  The Colorado Rules of Evidence apply in all Colorado workers compensation cases as well as all Colorado personal injury cases.  Therefore, if you proceed to hearing in a Colorado workers compensation case or to trial in a Colorado personal injury case and you have not been to law school, you will probably lose.

6.  Until recently, a Colorado claims adjuster could pay benefits that you would have received from your Colorado personal injury claim directly to your medical providers who are asserting a subrogation or reimbursement interest possibly leaving you with no monetary compensation for your injury.  A Colorado law that went into effect August 11, 2010 limits the ability of a Colorado insurer to obtain a repayment of benefits, through reimbursement or subrogation, if the repayment would cause the injured party to not be fully compensated.  Additionally, if the injured party has been fully compensated and the repayment is allowed, the amount of the repayment is limited to the amount actually paid by the insurer or, 80% of the usual and customary charge for the same service charged by health care providers that provide the same care in the geographic region.  Finally, an insurer must pay its proportionate share of attorney fees and costs incurred by the injured party in obtaining the settlement or judgment.

7.  If you suffer an injury in Colorado from a fall or due to a car accident, and you obtain a recovery that is less than the total amount of coverage available under any third-party liability insurance policy or uninsured or under insured motorist coverage, you are presumed to be fully compensated.  A rebuttable presumption that an injured party has not been fully compensated is created if the injured party makes a recovery that equals the amount of coverage available under all third-party liability insurance policies and uninsured and under insured motorist coverages.  Further, when an injured party obtains a judgment, the amount of judgment is presumed to be the amount necessary to fully compensate the injured party.

8.  If you are injured due to the negligence of a third-party  and receive medical treatment, and you also receive monetary compensation that is less than the sum of all your damages, you must notify the insurance company that is seeking reimbursement of your medical expenses that you intend to limit their ability to obtain repayment within sixty (60) days after obtaining each monetary recovery.  The notice must specify the total amount and source of the monetary recovery, any applicable coverage limits, and the amount of costs charged to the injured party.

9.  In the past, a Colorado claims adjuster’s salary could be based on the number of
policies canceled, the number of times coverage is denied, the use of a quota limiting or restricting the number or volume of claims and the use of an arbitrary quota or cap limiting or restricting the amount of claims payments without due consideration of the merits of the claim.  As of May 17, 2010, these claims practices are defined as an unfair compensation practice and a deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance.

10.  When you experience a job-related injury in Colorado, your employer or the insurance company should provide you with a list of at least two designated physicians from which you can choose a treating physician.  However, there are limitations and requirements concerning this request.  First, the employee must complete all requests within ninety (90) days following the date of injury.  Also, the injured worker must complete the request prior to reaching maximum medical improvement (MMI).  Finally, the change of physician is limited to another physician on the designated list.

11.  If you are an injured worker in Colorado, and you settle your case with the claims representative or attorney representing the employer and the employer’s insurance company, you must receive the lump sum settlement within fifteen (15) days after the employer or insurance company receives the signed settlement order.

12.  In Colorado, when you are injured at work and obtain maximum medical improvement (MMI), you have a right to see an independent doctor who is assigned by the Colorado Division of Workers Compensation (the Division) in the Department of Labor and Employment.  This doctor does not work for your employer or your employer’s workers compensation carrier.  The Division provides you with a list of three physicians.  Prior to making a determination of which physician you don’t want, the injured worker may request and is entitled to obtain and review a summary disclosure of any business, employment, financial or advisory relationship between a listed physician and an insurer, self-insured employer or claimant.

13.  With regards to workers compensation claims, an insurer, self-insured employer,
health care provider or employee or contractor of an insurer, self-insured employer or health care provider is prohibited from paying or receiving any form of monetary compensation that is based on any of the following; the number of days to maximum medical improvement, the rate of claims approved or denied, the number of medical procedures, diagnostic procedures or treatment appointments approved, or any other criteria designed or intended to encourage a violation of the “Workers’ Compensation Act of Colorado”.  Payment of remuneration based on any such factors constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice in the business of insurance and subjects the insurer or self-insured
employer committing the violation to penalties under the unfair or deceptive insurance practices statutes, which may be up to $3,000 per violation, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of $30,000, or, in the case of knowing violations, up to $30,000 per violation, not to exceed an aggregate penalty of $750,000 annually.

14. If you are injured on the job in Colorado, and your authorized treating physician
recommends medical maintenance benefits, and those benefits are unpaid and contested are either admitted fewer than twenty (20) days before the date of the hearing or ordered after an application for hearing on the benefits is filed, the court is required to award all costs, not including attorney fees, to you.

15.  When you are injured at work, and make a Colorado workers compensation claim, your employer or workers compensation insurer can request that you attend an independent medical examination (IME) with a physician whom they choose.  This is different from a Division Independent Medical Examination (DIME).  For all workers compensation claims filed after August 5, 2009, the physician selected by the employer or workers compensation insurance company must record the examination.  The injured worker also has a right to record the examination.  You may request the recording, and if the recording is inaudible or the physician fails to record the examination, you may attempt to strike the IME.

Q:        If I am injured at work in Colorado, can I go to the doctor I want to?

A: Your employer has the right to select the medical provider or authorized treating physician that you must use.  Most employers should provide you with a list of approved medical providers (a designated  provider list).  You may choose a treating doctor from this list.  If your employer does not properly designate a medical provider, you have the right to choose your own medical provider.  Bear in mind, that whether your employer chooses a doctor or you do, once that choice is made, the doctor cannot be changed without the insurance company’s consent.  After the claim is filed, the insurance company may request that you be examined by another physician of its choice, and at its expense.  In the event you do not go to the examination, you could be subjected to penalties, and the insurance company may ask the Division for permission to stop your benefits.

Q:        What if I miss a doctor’s appointment?

A: In Colorado, if you fail to appear at an appointment with one of your authorized treating physicians, you may be sent a notice of a rescheduled appointment.  The insurance company may stop your benefits without a hearing if you do not attend the rescheduled appointment.  In the event you believe that the insurance company was wrong when they terminated your benefits, you can request a mediation or prehearing conference to assist in resolving the dispute without a hearing or you may request a hearing.

Q:        Will my doctor’s bills be paid by the insurance company?

A: Once the insurance company files an Admission of Liability in Colorado, or a final order for medical benefits has been awarded in your case, your workers’ compensation doctors should seek financial reimbursement from the insurance company.  It is illegal for you to be billed for the cost of their services or for the difference between what has been charged and what the insurance company paid.  Your doctors should send all their bills directly to the insurance company with the insurance company’s claim number included.  If you are billed for authorized medical services, you should forward it to the workers’ compensation insurance company with the insurance company’s claim number included.  After the bill is forwarded to the insurance company, the claims adjuster is required to make payment or provide notification of the reason for nonpayment within 30 days.

Q:        What medical expenses arising from my Colorado work-related injury does the insurance company pay for?

A: The workers’ compensation insurance company pays for all reasonable and necessary medical expenses provided you receive care from a designated doctor or one who is authorized to provide care.  If the workers’ compensation doctor refers you to another doctor for treatment for your injury, and the treatment is reasonable and necessary, this medical treatment will also be covered.  In addition, you will be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary medical equipment, supplies, and prescriptions.  You should also receive reimbursement for mileage to and from medical appointments.  If you go to a doctor who is not authorized, the workers’ compensation insurance company probably will not reimburse you for those medical bills.

Q:        What if my Colorado workers’ compensation claim is denied?

A: The workers’ compensation insurance company may deny your claim for a variety of reasons.  If the claims adjuster does not believe your injury is work-related or if it is believed that they do not have complete and accurate information and further investigation is necessary, the insurance company will deny your claim.  The insurance representative will then file a Notice of Contest.  When the workers’ compensation insurance company denies your claim, you are responsible for all medical bills arising from your illness or injury.  If you have private health insurance, you may then be eligible for coverage under your private healthcare policy.  If the insurance company continues to deny your claim after you have discussed your case with the adjustor, you may have no choice but to apply for hearing.  Attorney Mary E. Jeffers will assist you with this process and provide aggressive representation at hearing.

Q:        What if my Colorado work injury was caused by another party instead of my employer?

A: If you are harmed in the course and scope of your employment, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of the cause.  In Colorado, you can also sue the third-party that caused the injury such as the negligent driver, or the manufacturer, distributor or seller of the faulty equipment that caused the injury.  If your co-worker caused the injury, you cannot sue him or her in Colorado.  If you recover from a third-party, the workers’ compensation insurance company is eligible for workers’ compensation reimbursement, and they are able to join you in the suit.

Q:        What type of injuries or diseases are covered under Colorado workers’ compensation?

A: Virtually every type of work-related injury and injuries arising from occupational exposure are covered by workers’ compensation.  Some of the most common industrial injuries that are covered are bodily reactions to substances, wounds, traumatic injuries, back injuries, and repetitive-stress injuries (RSIs) like carpal-tunnel syndrome (CTS).  Colorado also covers mental or emotional harm, including depression, providing it arises from the work injury.  Preexisting injuries are not covered unless they are aggravated at work.

Q:        How does the insurance company determine how I will be financially compensated for my wage loss?

A: The method by which the insurance company calculates your average weekly wage is determined in Colorado by the adjustor.  This calculation results in your wage loss benefits, and what you will receive for your time off work.  If you are unable to work at all due to doctor’s restrictions, you are entitled to receive two-thirds of your average weekly wage in temporary total disability benefits up to a legal cap.  The monetary value of fringe benefits, such as free meals, should also be included in the calculation of your average weekly wage.  In the event you employer-paid medical insurance is terminated because you are off work, the value of that insurance should be included in you average weekly wage.  Cobra letters are useful in determining the value of your employer paid medical insurance.  If you have questions on the calculation of your average weekly wage, call the Law Office of Mary E. Jeffers.

Q:        How can I see an independent doctor in Colorado who isn’t being paid by the workers’ compensation insurance company?

A: Once your condition has stabilized and ceased to improve and you are placed at maximum medical improvement (MMI) by the workers’ compensation doctor, you can request a Division Independent Medical Examination (DIME).  A level II state trained accredited physician will evaluate your medical condition, and probably determine your permanent impairment.  The cost of this examination is usually $675.00 and is paid by the party requesting the DIME.  If you are unable to pay, you may request that a judge of the Office of Administrative Courts determine whether you meet the financial requirements for indigence.  In most cases, if you are unable to afford a Division Independent Medical Examination, Attorney Mary E. Jeffers will front the cost of the DIME.

At the law firm of Mary E. Jeffers, our Colorado disability ratings attorneys are well-versed in the workers’ compensation process and have experience in reviewing and interpreting medical documentation. Attorney Jeffers’ background as an insurance claims adjuster provides valuable insight into the decision-making processes of insurance firms, and it also means that she brings to the table a comprehensive understanding of both the medical and legal aspects that characterize workers’ compensation cases. Our disability ratings lawyers take a personal approach to your case, meeting with you to review the relevant details, and then aggressively pursuing the maximum level of benefits and compensation to which the law entitles you.

When your doctor has determined that you’ve reached your MMI, he or she will decide if your injury has left you with a permanent disability. If so, the physician will assign a disability rating. The number is expressed as a percentage, and Colorado law dictates that the ratings system is based on guidelines established by the American Medical Association. Your Colorado disability ratings lawyer can advise you on any questions regarding the appropriateness of the specific rating you’ve received.

A disability rating may reflect either permanent total disability or permanent partial disability. Total disability means that your injury has left you unable to work ever, even on a part-time basis. If your injury has caused you to lose some of your ability to function, but still leaves you capable of doing some type of work (even if it is not the work you performed before your injury), you are entitled to receive permanent partial disability benefits. Within the category of permanent partial disabilites, there are two types of ratings: whole body ratings and extremity ratings. Just as their names suggest, those are based on the type of injury you’ve suffered. A whole body injury involves your torso, you back, your head or your neck. Conversely, extremity injuries affect the arms, hands and fingers or the legs, feet and toes.

Disability ratings that arise from injuries to your extremities are based on how serious the injury is. Colorado law specifies a formula to be used in calculating whole-person ratings. It includes consideration of your age and the amount of your wages. The state’s workers’ compensation laws further speak to scheduled and non-scheduled injuries. Scheduled injuries are spelled out in the Colorado Statutes, and a value is assigned to each. Injuries not specified on that schedule are also addressed in the statutes, but are valued in a different fashion.

The Colorado disability attorneys at the law firm of Mary E. Jeffers specialize in the intricate legal situations that arise when you’ve been permanently injured on the job. We understand how complex and confusing the state’s laws about workers’ compensation and permanent disability can seem. That’s why we offer you a free consultation to learn about your individual situation. Once we have a full understanding of the circumstances under which you suffered your injury and the outlook for your future ability to work, we can provide you with the guidance you need to make informed decisions about your case. Our disability ratings attorneys have successfully represented many injured workers who have had to fight for accurate disability ratings and the full scope of compensation they deserve. When you’re injured and in need of a strong advocate with experience in Colorado’s workers’ compensation system, contact the law offices of Mary E. Jeffers.

At the law office of Mary E. Jeffers, our experienced Colorado work accident attorneys understand the complicated collection of laws and procedures that make up the state’s workers’ compensation system. When you’ve been injured on the job or you’ve become ill because you were exposed to a toxic substance at work, it’s only natural to have questions – both medical and legal. You want to know what your rights are, and you want to know that you’ve taken every opportunity to provide not only for yourself, but for the family members who depend on you. The veteran workers’ compensation attorneys at the law office of Mary E. Jeffers are sensitive to those needs. We’re also sensitive to the fact that a workplace injury can be a traumatic experience. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing you with the legal insight you need to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits to which you’re entitled.

Although you cannot sue your employer for an injury you suffer on the job, there may be circumstances in which you can sue a third party who is responsible for injuring you. For instance, if your job involves operating machinery and you were injured because the equipment was defective in some way, you might be able to sue the manufacturer of the item. Another example of a potential third-party liability: You drive a vehicle for your employer and were on the road to make a delivery. If your vehicle is struck by another, causing you injury, the driver of that vehicle would be considered a third party. In such a situation, the advice of an experienced workers’ compensation attorney can help you understand your rights and pursue additional compensation.

When considering Colorado’s no-fault approach to workers’ compensation, it is important to know that there may be circumstances under which you will not be entitled to receive the maximum benefits. This can occur if you were harmed because you knowingly violated safety rules your employer has specified. If screening tests reveal that you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs (even drugs that your doctor prescribed) when you were injured, your benefits also can be reduced. In cases involving safety violations or impairment by drugs or alcohol, injured workers can lose up to half of their benefits – even if the injury results in permanent physical damage. In the event that your employer’s insurance company has alleged such circumstances and reduced your workers’ compensation benefits, you will want to seek the advice of a qualified workers’ compensation attorney.

Colorado workers’ compensation attorneys at the law office of Mary E. Jeffers know how upsetting it can be to suffer an injury on the job. We also understand that it can be frustrating and frightening to find yourself unable to work, especially if you have loved ones who rely on you for financial support. If your workers’ compensation benefits have been reduced, or if you question any aspects of your workers’ compensation claim, contact our firm to request a free consultation. Our no-fault work injury lawyers offer you the legal know-how and capability needed to ensure that your rights are respected. Contact the law office of Mary E. Jeffers.

The Denver  workers’ compensation attorneys in the law office of Mary E. Jeffers are experienced in handling subrogation claims related to workers’ compensation cases. When a company has provided or paid for services on your behalf, and a third-party source of funds becomes available, it is only natural that those organizations would seek reimbursement. Attorney Jeffers’ insight into the claims adjustment process enables her firm to bring proven skills to the resolution of subrogation claims.

In workers’ compensation cases, the Denver workers’ compensation lawyers at the firm of Mary E. Jeffers focus on the interests of the injured employee – you. Our aim is to provide you with the skilled, assertive, and caring representation you need in order to recover the maximum possible compensation in your particular circumstances. When healthcare providers or additional insurance companies become involved, it is important to know that your attorney understands how to work with those parties to effectively resolve the interests of all concerned. Because Attorney Jeffers possesses an inside perspective on the workings of insurance companies and their claims processes, her firm has built a strong track record in all aspects of workers’ compensation cases, including resolution of subrogation claims.

Attorney Mary E. Jeffers’ background as a workers’ compensation claims adjuster enables her firm to bring tremendous insight to the thousands of workers’ compensation cases we’ve handled. Our experienced workers’ compensation attorneys understand how insurance companies work, and we aren’t afraid to take an aggressive stance on your behalf. When your physical well-being is at stake and your family’s financial health may be in jeopardy because an insurance carrier has denied your workers’ compensation claim, the law firm of Mary E. Jeffers provides you with the powerful legal resource you need to fight for your workers’ compensation benefits.

An insurance company may deny your claim for workers compensation for a variety of reasons. If you’ve been hurt and you aren’t able to work, your concerns must focus on regaining your health and on ensuring that the loved ones who depend on you don’t suffer because you aren’t able to earn a paycheck. Insurance giants who relentlessly pursue their own financial bottom lines don’t think twice about rejecting workers’ compensation claims. They may tell you that they don’t have sufficient documentation of your medical condition, or they may dispute the circumstances under which you say you were injured or became ill. Whatever the reason, you may encounter lengthy delays in getting the benefits you need to get well and get back to work.

At the law office of Mary E. Jeffers, our Colorado workers’ compensation attorneys have an extensive background in successfully representing the interests of employees who have suffered injuries on the job and filed for workers’ compensation benefits. When large insurance companies drag their heels or the claims process becomes unduly cumbersome and complicated, you need a strong legal advocate who will go to bat for you and the loved ones who rely on you. Our seasoned workers’ compensation lawyers understand the procedures governing Colorado’s workers’ compensation system. We also know how insurance companies work. Because Attorney Jeffers brings experience in claims adjustment to her practice, our firm is able to readily grasp the meaning of medical documentation and to interact constructively with your doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other healthcare providers.

At the law office of Mary E. Jeffers, our Denver denied workers’ compensation claims lawyers know how frustrating it can be to find yourself injured and in need of care only to find stumbling blocks in your path. Because we have extensive experience in handling workers’ compensation claims, we also recognize that a successful outcome may depend on your having a seasoned attorney who can speak for you, assertively and articulately. The Denver workers’ compensation claims attorneys at the office of Mary E. Jeffers stand ready to protect your rights and speak up for you.

Why would your employer’s insurance carrier deny your workers’ compensation claim? There can be multiple situations in which a denial occurs, including:

• The insurance firm doesn’t feel you’ve proved you were injured on the job or while you were performing your work.
• The carrier may issue a denial because it doesn’t have sufficient information about your claim, particularly if documentation from a medical provider is lacking.
• Your injury isn’t severe enough to qualify for workers’ compensation.
• You have what is known as a “pre-existing condition” – a health issue from which you suffered before you were injured.
• Your workers’ compensation claim was not filed within the specified time frame.
• You were injured because you broke your employer’s rules or policies.

When you or someone you care about has suffered an injury or become ill due to harmful conditions or other workplace issues, workers’ compensation is designed to provide a safety net of coverage for medical and financial needs. A denial of your workers’ compensation claim can be aggressively addressed by the Colorado workers’ compensation attorneys at the law office of Mary E. Jeffers. Contact our veteran workers’ compensation lawyers for the knowledgeable guidance you need when your workers’ compensation claim has been denied. Call the law office of Mary E. Jeffers.

The law office of Mary E. Jeffers can provide you with the informed advice you need to make sense of Colorado’s complicated workers’ compensation regulations and procedures. Our Denver workers’ compensation attorneys know that you’ve already suffered because of your illness or injury. That’s why we want to offer you the knowledge and experience we’ve built in the course of helping others who’ve found themselves in similar situations. Our lawyers know that your concerns are for your ability to work and earn a living for yourself and your family, both now and in the future. If a work injury or illness affects your capabilities, you want the security that comes from knowing you’ve gotten the best possible settlement. The workers’ compensation attorneys at the offices of Mary E. Jeffers are dedicated to helping you achieve that peace of mind.

The Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation explains that “settlement usually involves giving up all or some of your rights to future workers’ compensation benefits, including medical benefits, in exchange for an agreed upon amount of money.” In fact, approval by the Division is required when the parties involved reach agreement on the amount of a settlement.

Your Colorado workers’ compensation attorney from the offices of Mary E. Jeffers can help you if you decide to pursue a workers’ compensation settlement. A settlement means that you and your employer’s insurance company are able to reach an agreement without taking a case to trial. Settlements may involve a single lump-sum payment or payments made over a period of time. Lump sums are a once-and-for-all proposition – your final payment for any remaining issues related to your workers’ compensation case. That means you assume responsibility for your medical care and other needs after the settlement is reached. So it’s especially important to know that you’ve made the best possible arrangements. It’s also important to make decisions based on a clear understanding of all your options and all the potential consequences. A qualified workers’ compensation attorney can help you examine those aspects of your case knowledgeably and capably.

At the law offices of Mary E. Jeffers, our Denver workers’ compensation lawyers are committed to providing you with the seasoned legal advice you need. Our practice takes pride in providing you with the kind of caring service that can make a real difference when you’ve suffered the trauma of a workplace injury. We know that the law can seem complex and intimidating. That’s why we offer you a free, no-obligation consultation to explore your situation. We recognize that every case is different, and we take a personal approach to helping you during this difficult time. Call the office of Mary E. Jeffers today to schedule your consultation with a qualified Colorado workers’ compensation attorney.

At the law office of Mary E. Jeffers, our Colorado workers’ compensation lawyers know how confusing and complex the laws regarding workers’ compensation benefits can seem. If you’re ill or injured, your energy must first be invested in your physical recovery – not in trying to untangle the policies and procedures that govern compensation claims. When you need comprehensive legal knowledge that you can rely on, contact a Colorado workers’ compensation attorney at the offices of Mary E. Jeffers. We’re here to help you and your family through this difficult time, and to assist you in getting the benefits you deserve.

When you’ve been injured on the job or you’ve become ill due to workplace conditions, your first duty involves reporting that injury or illness. Certainly, if it is life-threatening, you should seek emergency treatment, notifying your employer at once. If you work for a company that already has a designated medical provider, you must see that provider. “Workers’ compensation insurance pays for all reasonable and necessary medical expenses, if you receive care from a designated doctor or one who is authorized to provide care,” explains the state’s Division of Workers’ Compensation. Of course, the reality isn’t quite so simple. Different conditions apply if your employer has no designated provider. Your employer’s insurance company must admit liability. There also are lists of procedures to follow if you believe you aren’t receiving the care you need.

Beyond medical treatment, Colorado’s workers’ compensation laws provide for payment of financial compensation to help you replace the wages you’ve lost due to illness or injury. Financial compensation may be paid to you on a temporary basis if you are able to recover and return to work. You must be unable to work for a specified time in order to qualify for such temporary disability payments. In turn, those payments will differ, depending on the extent of your disability. In situations where employees are disabled permanently, different rules regarding payments will apply. The situation grows more complicated if your injury has left you with permanent scars or other disfiguring conditions.

In the event that an employee dies as the result of a workplace injury or illness, benefits can be paid to that worker’s survivors. Dependents may be eligible to receive weekly payments, and benefits also are available to cover the cost of the deceased employee’s funeral. Death benefits have their own associated rules and regulations. The employee’s surviving spouse may receive payments under specified conditions, as can dependent children and, in some cases, other relatives who relied on the deceased employee. Age limits apply to the children who may receive payments, and the amount of workers’ compensation death benefits can be affected by any social security payments the dependent children receive. While the workers’ compensation laws are meant to protect you and the people who depend on you, they can be extremely hard to understand. Advice from an attorney who is experienced in workers’ compensation claims can help to de-mystify the process and ensure that you receive the benefits you’re entitled to in a timely manner.

Attorney Mary E. Jeffers brings experience in claims adjustment to her workers’ compensation practice. That means that you benefit from the know-how of an attorney who has familiarity with occupational injuries and illness. Attorney Jeffers understands how workplace accidents can affect not only your physical well-being, but also the pain and suffering such events can cause to those who love you and rely on you. The Colorado workers’ compensation attorneys at the law offices of Mary E. Jeffers offer you a free consultation. We’ll explore your unique situation and work with you to secure the benefits you need. We’re committed to helping ensure that you receive quality medical care and to make certain that your family receives the financial care needed to avoid undue hardship. When you’ve been injured at work or suffered a workplace-related illness, the advice of a qualified Denver workers’ compensation lawyer can help you cut through the red tape of workers’ compensation regulations. To schedule your free consultation, call the law office of Mary E. Jeffers.

Experienced Denver Workers’ Compensation Attorney

At the law offices of Mary E. Jeffers, you’ll find experienced Denver workers’ compensation attorneys who offer you a free, no-obligation consultation to learn about your unique situation.

We will help you understand the options available to you, and our workers’ compensation lawyers can guide you through the process.

In Colorado, an estimated 80 employees lost their lives to occupational injuries in 2009, according to figures from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most who perished on the job were white males between the ages of 35 and 54. Thousands of other Colorado workers suffered on-the-job injuries that mean sometimes lengthy recovery times. In many cases, those injuries mean lasting disabilities. It is important to ensure that workers’ compensation claims actually secure employees the coverage they need to replace lost wages and continue receiving the medical and rehabilitative care that is needed.

If you have been injured at work, the most important action you can take is immediately reporting your accident. In fact, you can actually lose your right to workers’ compensation benefits if you fail to report your injury within a period of four days. A Colorado workers’ compensation attorney can provide you with help throughout the complicated workers’ compensation process. Among the elements with which your lawyer can assist you:

• Safeguarding your interests and rights when you can’t trust your employer or his insurance company to do so.
• Getting the insurance carrier to admit your claim.
• Helping you ensure that your benefits are paid correctly and expediently.
• Helping you secure the medical care you need.
• Pursuing reimbursement for your travel to medical treatment.
• Pursuing fair compensation for permanent or disfiguring injuries.

when she was admitted as a lawyer in Colorado, she has handled thousands
of disabilitiy and accident cases from a legal perspective. Furthermore,
her extensive experience as a defense lawyer has taught her how insurance
company defense attorneys think, which is: DENY, DENY, DENY! Attorney
Jeffers’ former claims adjusting experience is invaluable to her clients
seeking fair and just compensation for their injuries.
