- Employment ContractChampion Auto Body v. Industrial Claim Appeals Office, 950 P.2d 671 (Colo. App. 1997) appeared to resolve the issue regarding receipt of Colorado Workers’ Compensation benefits by undocumented workers. In Champion, the court held a Mexican National who did not possess legal work status in the United States was entitled to Colorado Workers’ Compensation benefits. The respondents argued that the claimant was not entitled to TTD and TPD benefits because his immigration status caused a “legal disability†that precluded him from proving that any of his wage loss was caused by the effects of the industrial injury. However, the court held that the claimant’s immigration status did not create a “legal disability†that prohibited him from entering into an employment contract. Rather, under federal immigration law the claimant’s unauthorized work status merely prohibited employers from hiring or continuing to employ claimant with knowledge of his unauthorized status. Further, applying the principles set forth in PDM Molding, Inc. v. Stanberg, 898 P.2d 542 (Colo. 1995), the Champion court held that the claimant’s unauthorized work status did not prohibit him from establishing that “to some degree†his wage loss was caused by the industrial injury.
