Workers' Compensation Testimonials

When I injured my back at work my employer denied that my injury occurred at work, because of this they would not pay me disability benefits and pay for my doctors’ bills. Since my back injury was so serious that required surgery and I could not work, not having a pay check placed my family in a bad situation. I was referred to the law firm of Sousa & Stone, LLC and retained Attorney Sousa to represent me. He explained I did not have to pay him anything unless he obtained money on my behalf. Attorney Sousa was able to get the insurance carrier to accept my case, pay for all my medical treatment and pay me for all the benefits they owed me retroactively and weekly.

Although many of the issues in my case were complex, Attorney Sousa constantly met with me to explain what was going on with my case and he answered all my questions. Without the legal assistance I received from Sousa & Stone, LLC, I do not know where my family would be today.

The law firm of Sousa & Stone, LLC has represented me in my worker's compensation claim as a result of injuries to my neck, back, shoulders and knees that I sustained while working as a truck driver for United Parcel Service. As a result of my injuries I was out on worker's compensation for over six years and a number of times the insurance carrier tried to stop my benefits but through the efforts of Attorney Sousa they were not successful. Additionally, over the years the insurance carrier contested medical treatment my doctors recommended. Again, Attorney Sousa fought for me and made sure my doctors were able to treat my injuries as they deemed appropriate. Finally, when it became obvious that I would not be able to return to work, Attorney Sousa negotiated a settlement of my claim that allowed me to retire and not have to worry about my financial future. Attorney Sousa has represented dozens of my fellow UPS employees. If you are injured at work call Sousa & Stone, LLC. Like me, I am sure you will be happy you did.

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.
