Construction Injury cases in Fort Collins
Construction crews build Fort Collins year-round — new homes, towers, and infrastructure across Larimer County, often through snow, ice, and altitude. Falls from height, trench collapses, electrocutions, cold-weather hazards, and heavy-equipment incidents injure Colorado construction workers every week.
A Fort Collins construction injury usually means a workers' comp claim — and when another subcontractor, a driver, or an equipment maker caused the harm, a third-party lawsuit can apply on top of it. A participating Colorado law firm may review every path.

How long do I have to report a work injury in Colorado?

This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
I was paid 1099 as a 'contractor' — am I out of luck?
Not necessarily. Misclassification is common in construction, and your real status depends on how the work actually ran — not the label. A participating law firm can review your arrangement and explain what claims may apply.
How much is a construction injury claim worth in Fort Collins?

Will my Fort Collins work injury claim end in a settlement?
Many Colorado work injury claims resolve by settlement — but settling generally closes some or all of your rights, including future medical care, and settlements must be approved. A participating law firm can explain the trade-offs before you sign anything.
Can I sue my employer for a work injury in Fort Collins?
Usually not — Colorado workers' comp is generally the exclusive remedy against your employer. But when someone outside your company caused the injury — a driver, another contractor, an equipment maker — a separate third-party lawsuit may apply on top of comp. A participating Colorado law firm can review which applies to your Fort Collins injury.
