Workers’ Compensation Insurance in Castle Rock

Protect Your Team — and Your Business.

Your employees are the heart of your business. At Rocky Mountain Insurance Advisors (RMIA), we help Castle Rock employers meet state requirements and protect their workforce with Workers’ Compensation Insurance — covering medical care, lost wages, and liability if a team member gets injured on the job.

What Is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Workers’ Compensation Insurance (often called “workers’ comp”) provides medical and wage benefits to employees injured or ill because of their job.

It’s required by law in Colorado for nearly all businesses with one or more employees — and it protects both the employer and the employee.

It covers:

  • Medical expenses from workplace injuries or illness

  • Lost wages during recovery

  • Disability or rehabilitation benefits

  • Employer liability if sued for work-related injuries

RMIA ensures your coverage meets Colorado’s regulations while keeping premiums manageable for your business.

Why It’s Important for Castle Rock Employers

In Douglas County’s fast-growing economy — from construction to healthcare to tech — workplace risks vary widely.
Even a minor injury can lead to lost productivity, medical bills, and potential legal issues if you’re uninsured.

With Workers’ Compensation Insurance, you can:

  • Comply with Colorado state law

  • Protect your employees and their families

  • Avoid costly lawsuits and fines

  • Maintain a strong, trustworthy reputation

Colorado Workers’ Compensation Requirements

The Colorado Division of Workers’ Compensation (DOWC) requires every employer with at least one employee (full-time or part-time) to carry active workers’ compensation coverage.

Coverage applies to:

  • W-2 employees

  • Seasonal and temporary workers

  • Some subcontractors (depending on classification)

Business owners and officers can choose to include or exclude themselves depending on their structure (LLC, corporation, etc.).

Failure to carry coverage can result in significant penalties, back pay, and stop-work orders.

What Workers’ Compensation Covers

A standard policy typically includes:

1. Medical Benefits

Covers doctor visits, hospital care, physical therapy, and prescriptions related to a workplace injury or illness.

2. Lost Wage Benefits

Pays a portion of an employee’s wages while they recover from an injury.

3. Disability Benefits

Provides compensation for temporary or permanent disabilities caused by work-related injuries.

4. Death Benefits

Supports dependents of an employee who dies as a result of a work-related incident.

5. Employer’s Liability

Protects your business from lawsuits filed by injured employees outside of standard claims.
