Verdicts and Settlements

Connecticut Workers' Compensation Settlements

The fact is that the vast majority of successful workers' compensation claimants are represented by an experienced lawyer in order to obtain optimum benefits, awards, and/or settlements. Contact Sousa, Stone & D'Agosto, LLC to discuss your workplace injury case.

A settlement of a workers' compensation claim is not required. In fact, both the claimant and the respondent must agree to a final settlement and the proposed settlement must be approved by the workers' compensation commissioner. Although a settlement is not mandated, in many cases, a full and final settlement is in the best interests of our clients.

Our attorneys have negotiated settlements that have recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured UPS truck drivers, construction workers, and other Connecticut employees who have been hurt at work.

Clients of the workers' compensation firm of Sousa, Stone & D'Agosto, LLC come to us from all walks of life. Blue-collar workers, UPS truck drivers, construction workers, police officers, firefighters, and professionals alike rely on the experience and dedication of the attorneys of Sousa, Stone & D'Agosto, LLC, to maximize workers' compensation settlements.

We are focused on helping every client obtain the wage replacement, medical, and disability benefits they are eligible for when they are no longer able to work after being injured on the job: driving trucks, working in nursing homes, building at construction sites, working in industrial complexes, or filling professional positions in modern office buildings. In addition, in cases in which it is in our client's best interests we will negotiate a full and final settlement of the claim.

Contact a workers' compensation lawyer to learn how to maximize your recovery of costs for medical bills, transportation to medical treatment, and lost wages. Discuss the process involved in reaching a full and final stipulated settlement in cases where you and the insurance company are in dispute over the validity or value of your case.

Workers' Compensation
Verdicts and Settlements

Around six years ago my wife and I were going through some severe medical conditions which were attributed to work related injuries. We had no money coming and things were beginning to get pretty hectic. I didn't know what to do. The attorney that represented us at the time kept assuring my wife and me that things would be ok, but he wasn't doing his job. After talking with a friend of mine and telling him what my situation was he suggested for me to give Attorney Sousa a call.

After meeting with Attorney Sousa I realized that, what was happening to us could be dealt with in a different manner. Attorney Sousa outlined a plan for us and said he could help us that he had a complete understanding of the worker's compensation laws in CT. My wife and I agreed to fire our existing attorney and hire attorney Sousa. Once Attorney Sousa got our case files and reviewed our cases he went to work on them. Within a month or so, it became apparent that he knew what he was doing. He was able to get us money coming and the surgery that I needed.

When I came to Attorney Sousa I was in financial difficulties and had bill collectors chasing me all over the place. He was able to get me the money I needed and the surgery to fix me. I owe my life to Attorney Sousa. He did a great job got me and my wife and I would recommend him to any one. Attorney Sousa really cares about his clients and is very sympathetic to them. This is really important to me, because he doesn't look at the bottom line. He looks at how can I help you in a time of need and shows compassion at the same time.
