Workers' compensation was a compromise to create an exclusive remedy for workplace injuries and illnesses, even no-fault workplace accidents. Under workers' compensation statutes, employees generally cannot file personal injury lawsuits against their employers; however, workers' compensation pays defined benefits for medical treatment, lost wages and lost earning capacity without proving the employer intentionally or negligently caused harm. The Colorado Workers' Compensation Act of 1915 created the administrative system and statutory benefit structure for workers' comp in our state. It requires employers to carry work comp insurance coverage to pay benefits entitled under the law. Learn more: https://frontrangefirm.com/colorado-workers-compensation-law/
