Welcome to the Law Office of Michael P. Dominick, a law firm dedicated to fighting for the rights of injured workers. If you've been injured on the job, an experienced Colorado workers' compensation lawyer should be contacted to review your case. Your employer and its insurance company will likely refer you to a doctor of their choosing. Failure to comply with the deadlines and requirements of Colorado's workers' compensation system can result in delay or rejection of your injury claim.
Likewise, failure to understand your legal right and the compensation to which you are entitled can also result in a reduction or denial of claim benefits. You cannot rely upon your employer to look out for your best interests. The system is adversarial - insurance companies and their doctors are as likely to be watching their own bottom line as they are to be concerned about your current and future well being.
A disability rating is used to establish compensation for permanent injury. Understanding how these rating impact your benefits is vital when it comes to defending your claim.
