How we match your Aurora workers' compensation case

When you submit a Aurora workers' compensation matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A workers' compensation matter needs someone who handles workers' compensation work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Colorado law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Colorado who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Colorado requires written notice to your employer within a matter of days after the injury, and delay can reduce your benefits. Report it in writing, keep a copy, and seek care from an authorized provider. If your claim is delayed or denied, an Aurora workers’ comp attorney can step in.

Generally your employer or its insurer provides a list of designated providers from which you choose, and treating outside that list can jeopardize coverage. You may have options to change doctors later. An attorney can explain your rights and challenge treatment denials through the state system.

Workers’ comp is usually your only remedy against your employer, but if a negligent driver, contractor, property owner or equipment maker caused the injury, you may also bring a separate lawsuit in Arapahoe County. An attorney can pursue both the comp claim and the third-party case together.

Written notice to your employer within 10 days under C.R.S. § 8-43-102. Late notice can reduce or bar benefits. The formal claim must be filed within 2 years (extendable to 3 with good cause) under § 8-43-103.

The employer provides a list of at least four designated providers under C.R.S. § 8-43-404(5)(a) and you pick from that list. If you go to your own doctor without authorization, the bills typically won't be covered. A one-time change of physician is available.
