What Happens if the Workers' Compensation System Changes?

Colorado Worker's Compensation Attorneys

The workers' compensation system is designed to provide medical care and wage replacement to workers injured on the job. However, this system is not static. Changes to legislation, regulations, and judicial interpretations can significantly impact both employers and employees. Understanding the potential consequences of these changes is crucial for navigating the complexities of your workplace injury claims.   

Potential Areas of Change and Their Impact:

  • Changes to Eligibility Requirements:
    • Tightening eligibility criteria could lead to more workers being denied benefits. This might involve stricter definitions of "work-related injuries" or increased burdens of proof.
  • Modifications to Benefit Amounts and Duration:
    • Reductions in benefit amounts or limitations on the duration of benefits could leave injured workers with inadequate financial support, potentially leading to financial hardship and delayed recovery.
  • Alterations to Medical Treatment Guidelines:
    • Changes in approved medical treatments or restrictions on access to certain specialists could impact the quality and timeliness of care. 
  • Shifts in Dispute Resolution Processes:
    • Changes to the process of appealing denied claims or resolving disputes could affect the fairness and efficiency of the system.   
  • Legislative and Regulatory Changes:
    • State legislatures frequently review and amend workers' compensation laws. Changes can be driven by economic factors, political pressures, and evolving understandings of workplace safety and injuries.

"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."

- JB (2022)

"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."
