GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- 15% of spinal cord injuries result after a fall. For older workers, falls are the leading cause of injury. If you work as a roofer or are in the construction industry, your job is at highest risk for a spinal cord injury because of the dangerous exposure to scaffolding and climbing ladders. Jobs where driving is a daily activity or where you're transported to and from a job site (construction or engineering) also put you at higher risk of a car accident, which may result in a spinal cord injury.

You should know your legal rights after suffering a spinal cord injury in a workplace accident. The costs at the beginning can be astronomical, and you may have to factor in loss of income and life-long healthcare costs. Where do you begin? Contact the expert workers' compensation attorneys in Colorado to help you!
