How Does Someone Apply for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?
In order to receive Colorado workers’ compensation benefits, injured victims must notify their manager or supervisor of their injury within four days of when the accident occurred. Employers then have 10 days in which to report the injury to their workers’ compensation insurance provider. This becomes difficult in situations where there was no single injury, but where an employee begins to suffer pain from repetitive movements or soft-tissue injuries to the back, neck, or spine.
