Workplace Injuries in Louisville

Louisville, Colorado is home to a wide variety of businesses from many different sectors, including several high-technology companies and medical supply manufacturers. Unfortunately, every worker is at some risk for injury while on the job, and each year, thousands of Colorado workers miss time due to workplace injuries.

If you have been injured at work, you could qualify for workers' compensation benefits to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and partial or total disability. Depending on the circumstances of your case, other benefits could be available to you as well. With more than 20 years of combined legal experience, the team at Hoggatt Law Office, P.C. can help you explore your available options for getting the benefits you deserve. We handle all types of workplace injuries, including:

• Head and brain injuries - A blow to the head that occurs in a workplace accident can lead to traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can have a debilitating impact on your health and well-being. While some injuries may have temporary, short-term effects, others can affect a person for a long period of time or even permanently. These effects may include memory problems, mood disorders, impairments to cognitive function, speech or language processing issues, sensitivity to light or sound, problems with balance and coordination, and more.
• Spinal cord injuries - An injury to the spinal cord can lead to paralysis, numbness, and/or loss of motor control in certain parts of the body. These injuries can be incredibly debilitating and life-altering, making it difficult or impossible to perform everyday tasks. Even if the spinal cord is not seriously damaged, back and neck injuries can affect the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and they can lead to chronic pain and loss of range of motion.
• Injuries caused by mechanical equipment failure - When machines such as tractors, forklifts, cranes, and other heavy equipment are defective or improperly maintained, they can malfunction and cause serious injuries. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to catastrophic spinal cord damage or amputations.
• Injuries sustained in a car accident on the job - Motor vehicle collisions are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries. Workers who drive as part of their job may suffer broken bones, head trauma, or severe lacerations in an accident. A victim of a car accident on the job may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if they were on the clock and driving to complete work-related duties.
• Injuries related to fires and explosions - Flammable materials may be present in the workplace, and when dangerous fires occur, workers may suffer burns, smoke inhalation, or other injuries. A person will be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if their injury occurred due to a fire in the workplace or if they suffered harm because of exposure to hazardous materials in a fire or explosion.

It is important to act quickly after a workplace accident, and we can assist you in protecting your eligibility for benefits.
