What's the difference between workers' comp and a lawsuit?
Comp is a no-fault benefits system through your employer's insurer; a lawsuit targets a negligent third party — like a driver or another contractor — and can recover losses comp doesn't cover. Some injuries support both. A participating law firm can explain which apply.

Will my Westminster work injury claim end in a settlement?

Can I sue my employer for a work injury in Westminster?
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 Westminster injury.
