 KNOW YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS Work-Related Injuries in Connecticut
If you are injured at work and need to pursue a Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Claim it does not matter whether or not anyone else was at fault for causing your injuries. If you are injured in the course of performing your job, you are entitled to compensation under the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Act. The benefits to which you are entitled include: medical treatment, lost wage benefits, and vocational rehabilitation. You would also be entitled to an additional award of money if your injuries leave you with an impairment in the function of part of your body (such as a loss of strength and range of motion in the spine or an extremity).
Non-Work-Related InjuriesIf someone else is at fault for causing an accident that results in you being injured, you are entitled to fair, just and reasonable compensation for your all of your losses. This means you are entitled to the award of an amount of money that would restore you, as closely as possible, to your pre-injury condition. Money awards are divided into two categories: compensation for monetary damages, and compensation for non-monetary damages. Monetary damages include medical bills, lost income, and property damage. Non-monetary damages include compensation for physical, mental, and emotional pain and suffering, and physical and/or mental disability.
