Self-Represented (Pro Se) Claimants

How are we doing?

A self-represented (Pro Se) Claimant is an individual who chooses to represent themselves in a legal proceeding without the help of an attorney. Although the majority of workers' compensation claims close without needing litigation, it is important to understand that resolving some of the more complex issues may be facilitated through an attorney, who is well-versed in Colorado workers' compensation law. 

If you choose to represent yourself at a hearing, you will be held to the same standard as an attorney practicing workers' compensation law and will be expected to have knowledge of the law, rules, and timelines of workers' compensation in this state.
