A Colorado Workman’s Compensation Attorney’s Advice to You: Don’t Quit Your Job!
Are you thinking of quitting your job? Let me offer you this advice regarding your workers comp claim:
DON’T QUIT YOUR JOB WITHOUT FIRST SPEAKING TO YOUR COLORADO WORKERS COMPENSATION ATTORNEY!
If you suffered a work injury, before you do anything you should speak to a Colorado workman’s compensation attorney. What you do could have an adverse, irreparable impact on your workers comp claims. To understand how your actions will affect your workers compensation claims, call a Colorado workman’s compensation attorney and schedule a free consultation.
According to the workers compensation laws, most of your actions and decisions could have consequences on your workers comp claims. Here are a few ways your workers comp claims may be affected under the workers compensation law:
- According to the Colorado workers compensation law, if you quit your job you could lose your workers comp claims to temporary disability benefits. Temporary disability benefits are the workman’s compensation benefits that compensate you for any loss of wages incurred while you are off work and receiving medical treatment. Before you take any action, especially deciding to quit your job, call Colorado workman's compensation attorney Tim Guill and set up a free initial consultation to discuss what course of action is in your best interest.
- It is an unfortunate reality that in order to avoid liability for workers comp claims under the workers compensation laws, some employers will make up reasons to terminate you or force you to quit -- and make it look like it's your fault! Don’t let your employer force you to quit. An employer understands they can save money and not pay on workers compensation claims by making up reasons why your employment was terminated. If you feel you are a victim of this fraud, call me now to see what you can do to best protect your rights under the workers compensation law.
- Medical benefits are the part of the workers comp claims that cover the costs of the medical treatment you receive as a consequence of your workman’s compensation injury. According to the Colorado workers compensation law, your employer has the right to designate the doctor (or doctors) who will provide you with medical treatment. This physician will be a "specialist" in providing workers compensation treatment for injured workers and is paid for by the employer’s insurance company. For this reason, these physicians are often more sympathetic to the insurance company than their own patients. More often than not, injured workers with workers compensation claims do not like or trust their workman’s compensation physician. However, according to the workers compensation state laws of Colorado, you have the right to receive an independent medical evaluation from a physician of your choice. As a Denver workman’s compensation attorney, I can help you exercise your right to an independent medical evaluation with a physician who can provide a fair and honest independent evaluation of your workers comp claims.
Your health and your recovery are the absolute Number 1 priority in your workers compensation claims. You have a lot to lose if you don't make a full recovery. Don’t make a wrong decision. Start with a right decision by calling a Colorado workman’s compensation attorney for a free consultation. My job as your workman’s compensation lawyer is to make sure you receive every single benefit you're entitled to under the workers compensation laws. Let's get started. Call me today.
