How Our Bristol Workers' Compensation Attorneys Help You

In Connecticut  all employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. Unfortunately, this doesn't always guarantee you will be able to obtain compensation if you're hurt at work. If you're injured while working, you may need to file a claim, but insurance adjusters often prioritize profits over people. It becomes increasingly important to have an experienced  workers' comp attorney after you're injured while working. Here's how our insurance claims lawyers serving Bristol, Conn. can help you:

  • Filing your claim: After your injury, you want to report the incident to your employer and file a claim. However, the information you provide in your claim can make or break your case. Our experienced staff will guide you through the process to file accurate and timely paperwork.
  • Settlement negotiations: Insurance companies care about their profits. Because of this, their settlement offers are often much less than you should receive, and you may not be sure how to negotiate a higher amount. Our expert litigation team will help you negotiate a higher amount with your losses in mind.
  • Handling Routine claims matters: If insurance companies deny you your mileage, or fail to authorize treatment, we can request a hearing in the Connecticut workers comp Commission to have a compensation judge award you these benefits.

If you find yourself in a difficult situation, know that claims adjusters use various tactics to try and minimize or deny your claim. We'll work with you to protect your best interests and provide you with the trusted advocacy to safeguard your claim for compensation.
