In Colorado, your employer has the right to select the physician who will provide your treatment. The physician will frequently be more sympathetic to the insurance company because the insurance company pays his or her bills.

A contingent fee is an arrangement which permits the injured worker to obtain legal representation without having to pay the attorney a retainer, and without having to advance court costs.
