Trusted Workers’ Comp Insurance for Colorado Businesses

If you have employees in Colorado, you’re legally required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, no exceptions. But that doesn’t mean all coverage is the same. We help contractors, trucking operators, and small business owners find affordable workers comp insurance in Colorado that’s clear, compliant, and cost-effective.
 

As a Colorado workers comp insurance agent with a background in construction, I understand how confusing this can be, especially for industries with 1099 workers, high injury risks, or evolving labor needs. Whether you’re hiring your first employee or managing a growing crew, we’ll help you stay protected and avoid costly mistakes.

What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ compensation insurance is state-mandated coverage that pays for employee injuries and illnesses that happen on the job. It covers:

  • Medical expenses

  • Lost wages

  • Rehabilitation

  • Disability or death benefits


If someone on your team gets hurt lifting, driving, or working in the field, your policy steps in,  protecting both your worker and your business.

Benefits of Workers' Comp Insurance

Mandatory Coverage

If you have one or more employees, Colorado law requires you to carry workers' compensation insurance.

Who's Covered

Anyone paid for their work is considered an employee and must be protected by workers' compensation insurance.

Applies to All

Whether your employees are part-time, full-time, or even family members, you're required to have coverage.

Stay Compliant

Ensure your business adheres to Colorado regulations and secures the necessary insurance to protect both your team and your business.

Colorado Workers Comp Insurance Requirements

In Colorado, any business with one or more employees must carry workers’ comp. This includes:

 

  • Full-time, part-time, and seasonal workers

  • Family members working for your business

  • Many 1099 workers or subcontractors (even if you think they’re exempt)


⚠️ 1099 ≠ Exempt. Colorado law often classifies 1099 contractors as employees if they don’t meet strict independence criteria. Misclassifying workers could cost you thousands in fines or unpaid claims.


Even if your employees don’t have papers or legal status, Colorado still requires that they be covered under workers’ comp and they may be eligible for benefits if injured.

 

If you’re unsure who needs coverage or what applies to your business, we’ll walk you through it.

What Is E-Mod and How Does It Affect My Premium?

Your E-Mod (Experience Modification Rate) is a score assigned to your business based on past claims. The higher your E-Mod, the more you pay for workers’ comp. We help you:
 

  • Understand your current E-Mod

  • Correct costly misclassifications

  • Adjust payroll audits and class codes

  • Take advantage of savings you may not even know you’re missing

 

We’re not just a Colorado workers comp insurance provider, we’re your partner in reducing long-term costs.

  • Roofers, Framers & Drywall Installers

  • Dump Truck Operators
