The Amount of Your Workers’ Compensation Depends on who you Hire
Along with your health, financial worries are at the forefront of your mind when you have suffered a job-related injury. Not only are you unable to work, but you may also be facing high medical expenses to treat your injury. The good news is that you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits when you are able to prove that your job was the cause of your injury or illness. If your injury happened at work, its likely work related, and you would be entitled to lost wages, all medical treatment paid, money for permanent impairment, mileage reimbursement, disfigurement and ultimately a financial settlement.
It is very difficult for an attorney to give you a direct answer to any question without knowing more about the facts and circumstances of your case. Thus, if you ask a workers’ compensation attorney how much your claim is worth, they would give you a broad explanation of what you may expect to receive without giving you a specific figure. They may be able to give you more information when they learn more about your situation.
The Elements of Your Workers’ Compensation Claim
To learn more about what your Colorado workers’ compensation claim may be worth, you need to understand what makes up your workers’ compensation claim. When you have been injured on the job, the insurance carrier is responsible for your medical bills, payment of lost wages, and financial compensation for permanent if you have been permanently impaired because of your work injury
Your lost wages is crucial variable that affect the value of your workers’ compensation claim. Under Colorado law, you are entitled to two-thirds of your gross average weekly wage at the time of your injury. Insurance carrier routinely miscalculate an injured workers average weekly wage as it undermines the value of the claim.
Once you reach the point of maximum medical improvement, you would be directed to attend an examination with a doctor who is paid by the insurance company. The doctor would make a determination about the extent of your disability, and they would assign you an impairment rating. Treating doctors through medical clinics like Concentra medical center routinely underestimates an injured worker’s true impairment. Again, this undermines the value of an injured workers claim.
Workers’ compensation claims would also cover mileage reimbursements for your trips to see the doctor and any resulting disfigurement or scar that you have as a result of your work related injury or surgery. Insurance companies routinely do not willingly pay these benefits to an injured work unless requested. Even if requested by the injured worker, the insurance carrier or adjuster often lowballs an offer on the hopes that the injured worker will accept it knowing that the injured work doesn’t know the true value of his injury.
