The Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation is the state office responsible
for administering and enforcing the workers’ compensation law in this state.
In doing so, it recognizes the intent of the Colorado General Assembly to ensure
the quick and efficient delivery of disability and medical benefits to injured
workers, at a reasonable cost to employers.
As the agency overseeing workers’ compensation in this state, the Division
establishes rules, procedures and programs to enforce the law and to resolve
disputes that may arise between the employer and the injured worker.
The Division does not pay benefits on a claim. Rather, employers purchase
insurance coverage through a private insurance company or, if qualified, through
self-insurance programs. No portion of this cost may be deducted from an
employee's wages.
To learn more about Division services, obtain information about the Colorado
workers’ compensation system, or to make specific inquiries, we invite you to
