Workers' Compensation

Denver Workers' Compensation Lawyer

In Colorado, the law requires most employers to provide insurance to cover the costs of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and disability for employees who are injured on the job. However, obtaining the benefits you are entitled to under the workers' compensation system is not easy. The laws governing the system are complicated and require the help of an experienced workers' compensation lawyer.

At Anderson, Hemmat & Levine, we have helped thousands of injured workers obtain the benefits they need to rebuild their lives. We understand the complexities of work comp law and how to obtain the compensation you deserve.

Leveling The Playing Field

The workers' compensation insurance company has the right to choose the doctor who provides the initial medical evaluation in your case. Because your employer and the insurance company want to limit the amount they pay in benefits, they will tend to select a doctor who will minimize the extent of your injury and any resulting disability. If you accept the results of this evaluation, you may not receive the recovery or rehabilitation resources you need to recover to the fullest extent possible. You are entitled to a second medical opinion.

As workers' compensation attorneys, Anderson, Hemmat & Levine understands serious injuries and medical conditions. We can help you obtain a second, impartial medical evaluation, and see that all of your rights under the law are protected. Our goal is to maximize the compensation you receive.
