Finding a permanent disability attorney in Aurora
Looking for a permanent disability lawyer near you in Aurora? When a work injury leaves lasting damage, the impairment rating drives your benefits — and a participating Aurora attorney may offer a free consultation to review yours (abogado de incapacidad permanente en Aurora).
Permanent Disability cases in Aurora
Some work injuries never fully heal. Across Aurora and Arapahoe County, workers come out of treatment with permanent limitations — a back that can't lift, a shoulder that can't reach, a knee that can't kneel. In Colorado comp, the impairment rating translates that loss into permanent disability benefits, and the most serious cases can qualify for permanent total disability.
The impairment rating determines a large share of what a serious claim is worth — and ratings can be low, disputed, or based on incomplete records. Colorado lets you challenge a rating, including through an independent medical examination. A participating Colorado law firm may review your Aurora rating and options.

This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
Can I dispute a low impairment rating?

Will my Aurora work injury claim end in a settlement?

A participating Colorado law firm can review which applies to your Aurora injury.
