Are Seasonal Workers in Colorado Covered by Workers' Comp? Yes—But Know Your Rights

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - Rezul -- As Colorado's seasonal job market surges with summer festivals, agricultural work, and outdoor tourism, many workers are unaware of their rights when it comes to workplace injuries. According to state law, most seasonal employees are covered by workers' compensation—but many don't know how to access these benefits when they need them most.

"Whether you're working for a ski resort in winter or helping with harvest season in the fall, if you're injured while doing your job, you may be entitled to compensation," says Mathew Kaufman, a leading Colorado workers' compensation lawyer (https://www.coloradoattorney.com/learnmore/seas...). "Unfortunately, seasonal workers are sometimes misclassified or not properly informed of their rights."

Colorado mandates that employers carry workers' compensation coverage for all employees, including those working temporarily or part-time. The law even protects undocumented workers and those brought in from out of state. Coverage can include medical treatment, wage loss benefits, and compensation for permanent injuries.

Injured seasonal workers are encouraged to report injuries promptly, seek authorized medical care, and document the incident thoroughly. If claims are denied or delayed, legal guidance can make all the difference.
