Lacrosse Player Claims

Workers’ Compensation for Professional Lacrosse Players in Colorado

Lacrosse is fast, physical, and unforgiving. Whether you’re grinding through a training camp, taking hits in an NLL arena, or competing under the sun for a PLL team, your body is constantly at risk. The injuries are real — and so are your rights.

As a professional lacrosse player, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation if you were injured while competing, practicing, or traveling with a team based in Colorado. That includes indoor and field lacrosse leagues, regardless of your contract length or current roster status.

At Kaplan Morrell, we help injured lacrosse players get the medical care and financial support they deserve under Colorado law — so you can recover without worrying about who’s covering the bills.

Workers’ Compensation for Professional Lacrosse Players in Colorado

Common Injuries Among Pro Lacrosse Players

Lacrosse combines the impact of football with the constant motion of soccer — and the injury list reflects that intensity. We’ve helped athletes with:

  • ACL and meniscus tears
  • Concussions and post-concussive syndrome
  • Shoulder dislocations and labrum injuries
  • Hip impingement and groin strains
  • Broken hands, fingers, and wrists
  • Rib and collarbone fractures
  • Spine and neck injuries
  • Chronic pain from overuse or high-impact play

Even if your injury seems minor now, lasting damage or re-injury can occur without proper treatment and time off — both of which workers’ compensation is designed to support.

Do You Qualify for Workers’ Compensation in Colorado?

You may be eligible if:

  • You were injured while playing for or affiliated with a Colorado-based team
  • You traveled on behalf of a team headquartered in Colorado
  • You played games or trained in Colorado and sustained the injury here
  • You reside in Colorado post-injury and experience ongoing symptoms

Even if you’re a contracted player with another team now — or have been released — you may still have a valid claim.

What Workers’ Comp Covers for Lacrosse Players

If your claim is approved, you may be entitled to:

  • 100% of your authorized medical care — surgery, rehab, imaging, and more
  • Wage loss benefits if you’re unable to return to play
  • Permanent disability compensation for lasting injury
  • Mileage reimbursement for treatment
  • Vocational rehab if you’re unable to return to pro athletics

We help players pursue claims in ways that respect their careers — whether they’re trying to return to the game or move into life after lacrosse.
