Types of  Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Colorado

There are a variety of benefits and settlements for injured or ill workers that include but are not limited to:

Medical benefits: The insurer will cover the costs for most medical treatment you need while you’re recovering from an on-the-job injury or illness.
