Teresa Cruz

Teresa Cruz works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Colorado. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Teresa Cruz handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Colorado, including Permanent Disability, Workers Comp Settlements, Vocational Rehabilitation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Colorado, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Teresa immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Teresa Cruz's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 7 years of experience in Colorado workers' comp law, Teresa knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Teresa Cruz primarily serves clients in Commerce City and the surrounding Colorado area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Colorado and were injured at work, contact Teresa's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
