Few workplaces are as dangerous to employees as construction sites. These workplaces frequently lead to serious work-related injuries requiring significant medical attention. Occasionally, workers will be called independent contractors, but the employers have not followed the specific prescribed steps and the worker may actually be classified as an employee who is eligible for worker's comp benefits.

At the Picardi Law Firm in Denver, Colorado, we represent injured workers, including victims of construction accidents, regardless of fault. We help people obtain workers' compensation benefits — making sure that insurance companies treat them fairly.
