Workers’
Compensation
We are
committed to the philosophy that many costly disputes in this
area can be resolved without resort to the courtroom. In
advising human resources professionals and risk managers we
work to continuously improve your safety practices, to minimize
your claims exposure and to provide guidance through the sticky
interaction among workers’ compensation laws, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and
other federal and state laws governing the employment relationship.
We also
have experience in assisting employers in setting up self
insurance programs and developing risk management and loss
prevention systems. As an integral part of these services,
we conduct in-service trainings as court decisions and legislative
changes affect your business.
When claims
arise, we offer our extensive experience in the defense of
claims that present you with unique medical and legal problems,
assisting you in every phase of investigation and litigation.
Typically, our services will most benefit you in claims characterized
by:
- Permanent
and total disability
- Complex
medical causation
- Termination
for fault
- Toxic
chemical and mold exposure
- Injuries
occurring in a third party liability and/or the construction
context
Furthermore,
our experience in workers’ compensation and insurance coverage
issues equips us with a unique understanding of issues such
as:
- Exclusivity
defense to personal injury claims
- Supplemental
protection from workplace claims under Coverage B
- Subrogation
- Insurance
bad faith claims
Our firm
has long established and cordial relationships with personnel
at the Division of Workers’ Compensation and the Division
of Administrative Hearings. Two of the current Administrative
Law Judges formerly worked as attorneys for this firm. Our
firm’s attorneys are active in many professional organizations
in the state of Colorado and across the nation. These relationships
help to inform our understanding of trends and anticipated
changes in the law.
