When is a Colorado workers compensation claim considered settled and permanently closed?
Your claim is settled if you sign documents agreeing never to seek any additional money or benefits from your employer or insurance company. If you do that, your claim is permanently closed. Many people think the award they receive for permanent impairment is a settlement. This is technically incorrect. Unless you have signed an agreement waiving your rights, you may be able to reopen your claim at a later date and seek more benefits.
