- Workers' Compensation: A knowledgeable workers' comp lawyer can help ensure that your medical bills are paid on time; that you are allowed to work with the doctors who are best suited for your care and treatment, that the complexity of required forms and procedures of a workers' compensation claim do not prevent you from receiving all the benefits you are eligible for; that you receive all compensation that you may be entitled to, including disability payments, permanency awards, and settlements.
- Employees' Rights: No employer is allowed to terminate employees because they have filed workers' compensation claims. Your job is protected by law after a work injury.
- Traumatic Injuries on the Job: Use of Heavy equipment or power tools, lifting heavy objects, and other accidents on the job site all typically result in entitlement to worker's compensation benefits.
- Repetitive Injuries on the Job: Repetitive stress disorder often develops gradually over time as a worker engages in stressful motions such as driving a truck over an extended period of years or working on an assembly line in a manufacturing environment.
- Heart and Hypertension: If you are a firefighter or police officer and suffer from heart problems, there is a presumption under the law that your heart problems were caused by your work. Learn how to complete a successful workers' comp claim for benefits that you are legally entitled to.
- Filing a Claim: Filing a workers' compensation as soon as possible after a workplace injury maximizes your ability to obtain payment of medical expenses and lost earnings, awards for permanent injuries, settlements, protection of our client's jobs, obtaining out-of-pocket mileage, and parking fees at doctor's offices.
- Administrative Hearing: "If your employer disputes your claim, you will need to prove that your injury or disease is work-related by producing evidence at Formal Hearing (such as medical reports and statements by witnesses) to back up your claim. If your claim is denied, you should request an Informal Hearing from the District Office for the town in which you were injured."
- The Workers’ Compensation Commission administers the workers’ compensation laws of the State of Connecticut and oversees the process of entering into voluntary agreements, adjudicating disputes, making findings and awards, hearing and ruling on appeals, and closing out cases through full and final stipulated settlements.
- Benefits: We are focused on helping every client obtain the wage replacement, medical, and reimbursement of all out of pocket expenses, that they are entitled to when the suffer a work related injury.
- Awards: Workers' compensation laws are designed to ensure that employees who are injured or disabled on the job are provided with monetary awards for permanent injuries.
