Colo. moves ahead to slow down workers' comp surveillance
Two Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee voted for the bill so the entire Colorado House could vote on it, even though they had serious concerns it would impact the criminal justice system.
Under the bill, insurance companies could start surveillance at any time, but the worker would have a right to ask for a hearing to learn why they were being watched. If the insurer can not justify their surveillance reasons to a judge, they could be fined $1,000 a day and would not be allowed to use the video in any claim or negotiations with the worker.
