GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - s4story -- Kaufman & Kaufman, LLC  advise injured workers in Colorado hoping to resolve a workers' compensation claim before the end of the year should consider beginning the settlement process early.

Workers' compensation settlements can take time. Medical records, future treatment needs, permanent impairment, lost wages, and other factors may need to be reviewed before determining whether a claim is ready for settlement. Once negotiations begin, multiple discussions with the insurance company may also be necessary before an agreement is reached.

Starting several months before the end of the year can provide more time to evaluate the claim, negotiate settlement terms, and complete the necessary paperwork without the pressure of a December deadline.

However, a year-end resolution is not appropriate for every injured worker. Those who are still receiving significant medical treatment may need additional time to understand their condition and future needs before settling.
