On July 24, 2020 Connecticut’s Governor created a rebuttable presumption regarding workers compensation claims for getting Covid-19 on the job. Despite what Connecticut law normally requires, if you got Covid-19 from work between March 10 and May 20, 2020 and was an essential employee, then your claim will succeed unless the employer can prove you got it somewhere aside from work. In order to win the employee must show that he or she lost at least one day of work, due to the Covid-19, had a positive Covid-19 test and must then give it to the employer or workers compensation insurance company. 

The employee, who suffers this work injury, can then get wage replacement benefits and medical care which will be paid by the workers compensation insurance company. 

If you need to file a workers compensation claim then contact injury lawyer Thomas L. Brayton, III, at the Law Office of Thomas L. Brayton, III.
