Wage loss benefits and workers' compensation are a lifeline for injured workers. Wage loss benefits, especially, replace two-thirds of your average weekly wage until you can return to work. If your injuries are permanent, you may qualify for ongoing support. Combined with medical benefits and other workers’ compensation benefits, wage loss replacement is crucial in helping you and your household cope with the financial strain caused by a workplace injury.

If your injuries, accident, or occupational illness occurred during your work duties or because of your job and you had to lose time at work, you may be eligible for wage replacement.

The amount of wage loss benefits you receive is based on various factors, including your average weekly wage before your injury, medical and vocational evaluations, and the severity of your injury. It’s crucial to make sure your wage loss benefits are calculated accurately and that you get an accurate diagnosis and prognosis of your medical condition, so you’re not pushed to return to work before it’s safe to do so and so you get your rightful benefits.

Navigating the workers' compensation system in Colorado can be complex, especially when it comes to wage loss benefits. Insurance companies may try to minimize the benefits you receive, and even minor mistakes in the calculation of your average weekly wage or benefits can impact your financial situation.
