Medical Benefits –
Under workers' compensation, the costs of your medical care should be paid by your employer’s insurance company. However, your employer has the right to select your doctor. Insurers often select doctors who may interpret test results and prognosis for recovery in favor of the insurer.

Temporary Disability -
Cases of temporary disability entitle a person with a workplace injury to have their medical expenses fully covered and to receive about two-thirds of their normal wages (up to certain specified maximums) during the time they are unable to work.

Permanent Disability –
If your condition will not improve with further medical treatment, you are judged to have a permanent disability and you are entitled to a permanent disability settlement based on a disability rating that can either be partial or total. A challenge to this rating must be filed within 30 days. James L. Finegan can help evaluate your rating and prepare a challenge for you.

If there is no recovery of damages in your case, you will not owe a fee. James L. Finegan takes workers' compensation cases on a contingency basis.

The workers' compensation system in Colorado has complicated rules and procedures, as well as strict time limits. Failure to conform to these rules and deadlines may cause a victim to lose benefits or be ruled ineligible for benefits. To protect your workers' compensation claim, call James L.
