GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- When a workplace injury occurs, how it's documented can determine whether or not an injured worker receives fair compensation. A leading Colorado workers' compensation attorney is urging injured workers to act quickly and document everything following an incident.

"Workers often don't realize how critical that initial documentation is," says Mathew Kaufman, Colorado workers' compensation attorney at Kaufman & Kaufman, LLC.  "A simple journal entry, a photo, or a witness statement can be the difference between a successful claim and a denied one."

Under Colorado law, injured employees must notify their employers in writing within four days of the incident. In addition to seeking medical treatment from an employer-approved provider, workers should keep a daily recovery journal, collect witness statements, and preserve medical records and receipts.
