Description

The question presented in these consolidated workers' compensation cases is whether the Workers' Compensation Act of Colorado, sections 8-42-101 to 8-47-209, 3B C.R.S. (1994 Supp.) (the Act) violates equal protection of the laws under the federal and state constitutions by establishing two different methods for calculating an award of benefits: one based on a rating schedule applicable to injuries resulting in the partial loss or loss of use of extremities (hands, arms, feet and legs) and the other based on a medical impairment rating applicable to injuries resulting in the total loss or loss of use of extremities and injuries to the torso and head. We uphold the constitutionality of the statutes.
