Work Injury Lawyers

in Denver, Colorado

Accidents can happen in any workplace, from bustling construction sites to quiet office buildings. If you’ve suffered a serious injury on the job in Denver, you need a legal team that understands both the challenges of Colorado’s workers’ compensation system and the realities faced by local employees. At Frenkel & Frenkel, our attorneys have a long history of helping Denver workers recover the compensation they deserve after workplace accidents, providing compassionate guidance and aggressive representation every step of the way.

Navigating Workplace Injury Claims and Lawsuits

A workplace injury can turn your life upside down, leaving you with physical pain, emotional distress, and financial uncertainty. Catastrophic injuries may impact your ability to work or enjoy life as you once did.

Injured on the job?

If you’ve been hurt on the job in Denver, Frenkel & Frenkel’s injury lawyers are ready to help you pursue compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and other damages.

For example, construction workers in Denver are protected by both state and federal safety regulations, including those enforced by OSHA. Our team will thoroughly investigate your accident to determine if negligence played a role and whether you’re entitled to additional compensation beyond what workers’ comp provides.

Understanding Your Rights as a Denver Worker

Colorado law requires most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides benefits to employees injured on the job—regardless of fault. However, there are situations where you may have the right to file a lawsuit, such as when your employer doesn’t carry proper insurance or when gross negligence leads to a fatality. If your employer or a coworker’s negligence caused your injury, or if your workplace failed to follow safety regulations, Frenkel & Frenkel can help you understand your options and fight for your rights.

When Can You Sue Your Employer in Colorado?

While workers’ compensation is the primary remedy for most workplace injuries in Denver, there are exceptions. For instance, if an employer’s gross negligence results in a worker’s death, surviving family members may have grounds for a lawsuit. Additionally, if a third party (such as a contractor or equipment manufacturer) contributed to your injury, you may be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim. Our attorneys have the experience to evaluate your case and guide you through the complexities of Colorado’s legal system.

Industries with High Rates of Workplace Injuries in Denver

Certain industries in Denver and across Colorado see more workplace injuries than others. If you work in one of these fields and have been hurt on the job, Frenkel & Frenkel is here to help:

Oil and Gas

Denver’s energy sector is vital to the state’s economy, but it comes with risks. Workers in drilling, refining, and transportation face hazards from heavy equipment and dangerous conditions.

Maintenance and Repair

From building maintenance to ship and vessel operations, these jobs often involve exposure to unsafe environments and require legal support when accidents occur.

Chemical and Manufacturing Plants

Toxic substances, machinery, and inadequate safety protocols can lead to serious injuries. Explosions, chemical spills, and equipment malfunctions demand immediate legal attention.

Construction and Roadwork

Denver’s rapid growth means constant construction. Workers face dangers from falls, equipment accidents, and hazardous materials. Road crews are also at risk from traffic incidents and exposure to the elements.

Offshore and Specialized Work

While less common in Denver, some Colorado workers travel for offshore or specialized industrial jobs, which present unique legal challenges.

Home and Commercial Construction

Whether you’re a homeowner or a contractor, understanding your rights and obligations is crucial before starting any building project. Construction disputes, inspections, and licensing issues can all require legal guidance.
