If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to a compensation claim for medical expenses, lost wages, disability, and retraining. You need an experienced personal injury lawyer standing by your side, protecting your rights and the financial stability of your family. Under Connecticut General Statutes, injured workers have rights to lost wage replacement, extensive medical expenses, and other benefits that ensure a stress-free recovery.

The process to file or appeal a claim under the Connecticut Workers Compensation Act can be confusing and discouraging. Hiring a personal injury lawyer who can handle all the paperwork while you concentrate on recovering from your injuries is essential to ensuring a swift recovery time and minimizing out-of-pocket expenses.

5 Types of Workplace Injuries 

Workers' compensation claims can result from a wide range of incidents. Some examples include:

• Mental Disorders Resulting From Physical Injuries
• Construction Site Accidents
• Shipyard Accidents
• Chronic Disease Caused By Exposure To Dangerous Chemicals 
• Mechanical Failure Of Heavy Equipment & Power Tools

If you have been injured at your workplace, are out of work due to a work-related disability, or have lost the financial support of a family member due to a fatal accident connected to their job, it’s imperative to file a worker’s compensation claim. Should the claim be disputed by the employer or the workers' compensation carrier, an injury lawyer will work to reach a fair settlement on your behalf.
