Workers Compensation Claims

If you are injured at work, 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 any impairment in the function of part of your body (such as a loss of strength or range of motion in the spine or an extremity).
Your employer may tell you that he/she is filing a Workers' Compensation claim on your behalf; however, this sometimes means that they are filing a claim with their Workers' Compensation insurance company, and not with the State. 

We will help you preserve all of your legal rights by filing your claim with the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission.  We will help you obtain medical treatment and Lost Wage Benefits by forcing your employer's Workers' Compensation insurance company to pay.  If your employer did not carry Workers' Compensation insurance coverage at the time you were injured, we will pursue these benefits for you from the State, as provided for by law.  If your injury leaves you with a physical impairment, we will help you obtain an additional award of money; and secure your right to receive future benefits should your injury cause you problems later.

The time limit for filing a Workers’ Compensation claim in Connecticut is one year.
