Common Causes of Workplace Accidents in Castle Rock

Workplace accidents can happen in any industry, from construction sites and factories to offices and retail stores. Common causes include:

Under Colorado law, employers have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe work environment for their employees. This includes:

  • Complying with state and federal safety regulations
  • Providing proper safety training and equipment
  • Maintaining machinery and tools in safe working order
  • Identifying and correcting known hazards
  • Warning employees of potential dangers

When employers fail to meet these obligations, and workers get injured as a result, they can be held liable for the consequences.

Severe Injuries in Colorado Workplace Accidents

On-the-job accidents can result in life-altering injuries that impact every aspect of your life:

  • Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Back and neck injuries, including herniated discs
  • Fractures and crush injuries
  • Amputations and loss of limbs
  • Severe burns and disfigurement
  • Hearing or vision loss
  • Organ damage and internal bleeding
  • Toxic exposure illnesses and respiratory problems
  • Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)

These injuries often require extensive medical treatment, surgeries, rehabilitation, and time off work. Some may result in permanent disability and the need for ongoing care. The physical, emotional, and financial toll on workers and families can be immense.

At Kennedy Injury Law, we believe that no one should have to face these challenges alone. We’ll fight to help you secure the medical care, wage replacement, and financial support you need to cope with the impact of a work injury.

Navigating the Colorado Workers’ Compensation System

If you’re injured on the job in Castle Rock, your first step is typically to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can include:

However, the workers’ comp system can be complex and confusing. Employers and insurance companies may dispute the extent of your injuries, deny needed treatment, or pressure you to return to work too soon. A skilled attorney can help you navigate the process, protect your rights, and fight for the full benefits you deserve.

Pursuing Third-Party Liability Claims

In some cases, workers may also have grounds for a third-party liability claim outside of the workers’ comp system. This can happen when someone other than your employer contributed to causing your injury, such as:

  • A negligent driver who hits you while on work-related travel
  • The manufacturer of a defective machine or tool
  • A toxic substance supplier who fails to provide proper warnings
  • A subcontractor or property owner who creates an unsafe condition

These third-party claims can provide additional compensation beyond what’s available through workers’ comp, including damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your accident to identify all potential sources of recovery.

Fighting for Maximum Compensation

A serious workplace injury can derail your career, your health, and your financial security. You deserve compensation for all the ways your life has been impacted, including:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and income
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and trauma
  • Permanent disability and disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment and quality of life
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Death benefits for lost loved ones

Our knowledgeable attorneys will meticulously document your losses, consult with experts, and fight for the maximum compensation available under Colorado law. Whether through workers’ comp, a third-party claim, or both, our mission is to secure the resources you need to rebuild your life.

What should I do if I'm injured in a workplace accident?

Notify your supervisor immediately and request medical attention. Follow your doctor’s treatment plan and keep copies of all medical records and expenses. Report the injury in writing to your employer and consider contacting an experienced workplace accident attorney to protect your rights.

Can I choose my own doctor after a work injury?

Under Colorado law, your employer or their insurance company has the right to select your treating physician. However, if you’re unhappy with the care you’re receiving, you may be able to request a change of physician. An attorney can help you navigate this process.

What if my workplace accident was caused by my own mistake?

Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system. You’re generally entitled to benefits even if your own error contributed to the accident, as long as you weren’t engaged in willful misconduct. However, your benefits may be reduced if drug or alcohol impairment played a role.

Can I be fired for filing a workers' comp claim?

Colorado law prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for filing workers’ comp claims or reporting unsafe working conditions. If you believe you’ve been wrongfully terminated or discriminated against, an attorney can help you explore your legal options.

What if my employer doesn't have workers' compensation insurance?

Colorado law requires most employers to carry workers’ comp coverage. If your employer is illegally uninsured, you may be able to file a claim through the state’s Uninsured Employer Fund or pursue a civil lawsuit against your employer directly.

How long do I have to file a workplace accident claim in Colorado?

In most cases, you must report your injury to your employer within four days of the accident and file a workers’ comp claim within two years. For third-party liability claims, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, it’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and meet all applicable deadlines.
