GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - eTradeWire -- As the holiday season approaches, many injured workers in Colorado may consider waiting until the new year to file their workers' compensation claims. However, this delay could put their benefits and financial stability at risk. Local attorneys are urging workers to act immediately.

Under Colorado law, workers must notify their employer of a workplace injury within four days. Delaying until January could mean missing strict deadlines, losing critical evidence, and facing pushback from insurance companies. Injured workers who wait also risk unnecessary financial strain during the holidays, when medical bills and lost wages can add up quickly.

"Filing right away is essential," says Mathew Kaufman, a Colorado workers compensation attorney (https://www.coloradoattorney.com/learnmore/shou...). "Delays give insurance companies an advantage, but early action ensures injured workers protect their rights and get the medical care and wage replacement they need."
