Hospitality Workers and On the Job Injuries

Colorado Workers Compensation

Do you work in hospitality?

Have you been injured on the job as a restaurant worker or housekeeper?

Are you wondering if you qualify for workers’ compensation in Colorado?

Housekeeping in a major hotel can be back-breaking work. According to the New York Times, “It’s a competition in which the nation’s premier hotels are trying to have their accommodations resemble royal bedrooms. Super thick mattresses, plush duvets and decorative bed skirts have been added, and five pillows rather than the pedestrian three now rest on a king-size bed.”

It’s hard work to get a hotel in good working order and you need housekeepers who are good at what they do to make it happen.

Among the most common injuries for hotel housekeepers are: 

  • Musculoskeletal disorders involving the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, neck and back. 
  • Acute trauma, such as contusions, fractures, lacerations, burns and strains/sprains.
  • Chemical exposure.

Effective risk management protocol is also imperative for those who work in the hospitality industry like restaurants as well as housekeeping. The bar, kitchen and dining floor can pose many risks, particularly when workers are striving to provide top-quality service. The most common injuries for these workers stem from burns, lifting and falls.

Minimizing the risk is key to keeping workers safe and healthy on the job. If your workplace is failing to keep you safe on the job, then they could be held accountable.

Are You Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?

Hotel housekeepers are covered by the workers’ compensation system. Housekeepers who have suffered injuries while working should speak with an experienced attorney if they have questions about obtaining workers’ compensation benefits in Colorado.

"Kaufman and Kaufman was extremely professional in my case. They set appointments as often as I requested which was often weekly or more. They handled all the problems that came up and ended up settling my case for more than I expected. I was very happy with the result."

"I’ve known the folks at Kaufman and Kaufman for more than 30 years. Correct - I said 30 years. The Kaufman’s have *always* done the right thing, especially when it’s not easy. Trust, in 2022, is hard. Trusting the Kaufman’s, in 2022, is simple."

- Jeff W. (2022)

"Kaufman and Kaufman represented me in a workman’s comp case and I couldn’t be happier with their service. They were very professional and gave me the personal service I was relying on. I hope I never get in that kind of situation again but if I do the Kaufman’s would be the firm I’d call. I highly recommend them."

- Erik (2022)

"Couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and thorough legal representation! Matt was so patient in taking the time to explain everything. The entire staff was incredible. I felt bolstered and validated throughout. I would recommend K&K to anyone going through a dark time with a debilitating injury.. they truly do care about their clients."

- Jessica C. (2022)

"The Kaufmans are a family owned firm that I highly recommend! They have always acted with integrity and intent to help people as best they can. You can trust them and I have dealt with the Kaufmans for a number of years now."

"The Kaufman team is very professional and knowledgeable about the work comp laws . They guided me in every step of the process, and if I ever have to do this again , they would be my first call. Without them i wouldn't have been able to pay my bills, and provide for my family. Thanks again to Kaufman and Kaufman for allowing my family to survive."
