Colorado Springs Workers' Compensation Lawyer On Your Side
Working for a living is a fact of life for most of us. Unfortunately, thousands of workers' are injured or killed every year in factories, construction sites, and in many kinds of industrial settings that are, by their nature, relatively dangerous. Where heavy equipment, machinery and tools are used and stored, adequate safety measures should be in place.
I'm attorney Gregory Chernushin, and my experience with workers' compensation cases allows me to offer you this: a thorough knowledge of workers' comp and workers' rights laws, insights into how your employer and its insurance company will work against you, and a commitment to doing everything that it takes to bring your matter to a successful conclusion.
You have the right to a safe workplace
Many work-related injuries and accidents in Colorado involve workers in the hospitality industry, delivery truck drivers, and workers on an assembly line or engaged in construction activities. These individuals often sustain injuries to the back, muscles and bones, caused by heavy lifting, falls, defective machinery and tools, and unsafe working conditions. Injuries range in seriousness, but are often severe and can result in a serious or permanent disability that requires ongoing treatment or prevents an injured worker from ever returning to work.
I'll work while you get better
Your first priority is recovering from your injury or illness. I can assist you as to how and where to get the appropriate medical treatment, plus provide you with a fair assessment of any permanent physical impairment and the longer-term medical care you may need.
Colorado workers' compensation laws are complicated, filled with technicalities, and often favor employers over employees. For example, they set strict time frames for filing claims, and allow your employer's insurance company to dictate the doctors you can see.
Contact an attorney as soon as possible
It is important that you contact me early in the process. I can help you properly prepare your claim and see the doctors you prefer. Also, if we have to take your case to hearing, my handling of your case from beginning to end will speed up the process and may increase your chance for success and the compensation you deserve.
In addition, there are certain circumstances when an injured worker may recover additional damages for another's negligence, carelessness, or recklessness.
Examples of third-party negligence claims in factory and industrial settings include injuries caused by dangerous or defective machinery or tools, falls, exposure to toxic chemicals or radiation, accidents involving forklifts, trucks, back hoes and other heavy equipment, and injuries caused by fires, explosions or electric shock.
