How we match your Colorado Springs workers' compensation case

When you submit a Colorado Springs 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 short period after the injury, and reporting late can reduce benefits. Get medical care right away and keep copies of everything. An attorney can make sure your notice is proper and your claim is filed correctly with the state.

Yes. Federal civilian employees are covered by a federal workers’ compensation program with its own forms, deadlines, and procedures, not Colorado’s system. Service members have separate benefits entirely. An attorney who handles federal claims can guide you through the right process.

You can contest the denial through the state’s hearing process, where medical evidence and testimony about how the injury occurred are reviewed. Deadlines for requesting hearings are strict. A workers’ comp attorney can obtain supporting medical opinions and represent you at the hearing.

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.
