Work site injury: what can I do?

Colorado applies modified comparative fault with a 50% bar — workers cannot recover if found 50% or more at fault, but recover with damages proportionally reduced below that threshold. Colorado has a shorter workers' comp reporting requirement (10 days) than most states — injured construction workers must notify their employer within 10 days or risk losing benefits. Federal OSHA governs Colorado construction sites. The Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder/Fort Collins markets have experienced significant construction growth. High-altitude and extreme weather conditions create unique construction safety challenges in Colorado mountain construction projects. Cases are filed in Colorado District Courts.
