Injured at Work? Know Your Rights to Compensation
Workplace injuries can disrupt everything—your income, your health, and your stability. If you’ve been hurt on the job, workers’ compensation benefits may be available to help you recover.
Understanding the Issue
Connecticut’s workers’ compensation system provides wage replacement and medical coverage for qualified injuries. But that doesn’t mean the process is simple—claims can be delayed, denied, or underpaid.
Why This Matters
You deserve full and fair treatment—not a runaround. We’ll protect your claim, your income, and your future.
FAQs
What if my employer says I’m not covered?
Most employers are required by law to carry workers’ comp insurance. If they don’t, they may be liable directly. We’ll help verify your rights and coverage.
Can I get fired for filing a claim?
It’s illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for seeking workers’ compensation. If that happens, you may have grounds for a separate claim.
Do I need to use the employer’s doctor?
Initially, yes. However, after the first visit or certain conditions, you may have the right to choose another provider. We’ll walk you through the process.
