Colorado represents one of the most affordable workers compensation markets in the country. CO is an NCCI state and under the jurisdiction of the National Council on Compensation Insurance. The state used to manage its own state fund program under Pinnacol Assurance. However, Pinnacol was transformed into a private insurance company during the 1980's. Today Pinnacol competes with over 300 other insurance carriers authorized to do business in Colorado.
Because there are so many providers and competition is so fierce, rates in Colorado remain low. Because of this competition it is very important for employers to shop their policy with as many carriers as possible. This is where Workers Compensation Shop.com offers a distinct advantage.

The basic purpose of the Workers’ Compensation is to provide wage replacement benefits and medical treatment for employees who have been injured or become ill due to a work-related injury or illness. It prevents the employer from bearing the costs of injuries that occur during normal business operations.
In the state of Colorado employers are required to report an injury within the first 10 days no matter how minor the injury may be. This can be done so be filling out the Employer's first report of injury form.
Employees benefit from workers' comp coverage by having lost wages covered while they are hurt or sick and not able to work. It also pays for medical costs they might incur as a result of the sickness or injury.
In the state of Colorado the employer or insurance company has the right in the first instance to select the physician who attends to an injured employee. Colorado requires a list of at least four physicians or corporate medical providers, be provided by the employer in order to give the injured employee the opportunity to select a treating physician. If no physician is properly assigned than the employee may attend the health care provider of his or her choice.
Your business benefits by not being liable for injuries that occur as a part of normal business operations. This applies whether the injury was the fault of the business or was caused by negligent actions of the employee.
To prevent cancellations/nonrenewals due to nonpayment, CO directs insurers to take “reasonable accommodations” such as: 1) extending grace periods; 2) waive late fees; 3) moratorium on cancellations for non-payment; 4) defer non-renewal underwriting actions; and 5) provide continuation of coverage for expiring policies. Such accommodations should be available to the policyholder, and clearly explained on the insurer’s website, for as long as the Orders are in effect or until the Bulletin is rescinded, whichever is later.For all Colorado resident personal and commercial policyholders, AmTrust is willing to make reasonable accommodations to prevent individuals and businesses from losing coverage due to cancellation for the non-payment of premium during this unprecedented time. Such accommodations may include, but not be limited to: (i) extension of premium grace periods; (ii) waiver of late payment fees; (iii) a moratorium on cancellations for non-payment; (iv) temporarily suspend any non-renewal underwriting actions; and, (v) provide a continuation of coverage for any expiring policy. Please contact your AmTrust representative for further information; FAQs Guidance: 1) If a cancellation/nonrenewal notice was sent before the March 27 moratorium but the nonrenewal/cancellation is effective after March 27, CO “requests” that insurers work with consumers as much as possible, understanding that the effects of COVID-19 may have been felt by policyholders prior to March 27. 2) Insurers may still cancel/nonrenew on the basis of fraud or material misrepresentation. Auto insurers may cancel/nonrenew because of the suspension or revocation of the named insured’s driver’s license. 3) Insurers may cancel at policyholders request. 4) For new business, a decision to discontinue the new policy during the first 59 days is not considered a cancellation subject to the moratorium. 5) Declining an application for coverage that was never bound is not considered a cancellation and is permitted.
