Workers' compensation claims provide eligible workers with up to two-thirds of their average wages — an amount limited by statute.

At the Picardi Law Firm in Denver, Colorado, we understand the fear faced by people unable to work because of an injury. We will work with you and your employer's insurance company to make sure that you get either temporary total disability benefits — benefits available when you cannot work at all — or temporary partial disability benefits — benefits available when you can work, but not at 100 percent.
