How we match your Longmont workers' compensation case

When you submit a Longmont 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

DearLegal provides marketing and matching services and is not a law firm. Submitting a case does not create an attorney-client relationship. Matches depend on case type, jurisdiction and firm availability.

Most Colorado workers' compensation attorneys work on contingency: the fee is a share of what they recover, and nothing if they don’t.

Colorado caps workers' comp attorney fees at 20% of disputed benefits under DOWC rules. Third-party tort claims (motor-vehicle, product liability, contractor negligence) run outside the comp system on standard 33%–40% personal-injury contingency.

Exhibit F

Longmont workers' compensation questions, answered

Still unsure? Tell us what happened and a Colorado attorney will review it for free.

Usually not. Colorado's workers' compensation system is administrative and generally replaces the right to sue your employer for a workplace injury. Disputes over benefits are decided by administrative law judges. Separate court claims may exist against a negligent third party, such as another driver or a contractor.
Not freely at the start. Colorado employers typically designate authorized treating providers, and going outside that list can mean the insurer refuses to pay. There are limited rights to change providers. An attorney can explain how to request a change without jeopardizing benefits.
Report it to your employer in writing immediately; Colorado expects notice very promptly and delay is used to dispute claims. The formal claim filing deadlines vary by circumstance, including occupational diseases that develop over time. A Colorado attorney can confirm the deadlines that apply to you.
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.
