CONNECTICUT'S TOP WORKERS' COMPENSATION LAW EXPERTS EMPOWERING INJURED WORKERS TO SECURE THEIR RIGHTFUL BENEFITS

UNDERSTANDING WORKERS' COMPENSATION VS. PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS If you're uncertain about pursuing a workers' compensation claim or a personal injury claim, it's crucial to discern their differences.
KEY DIFFERENTIATORS A personal injury claim emphasizes fault, whereas a workers' compensation claim doesn't necessitate proving fault.
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS If a third party's negligence led to your injury, such as a careless truck driver or an establishment neglecting safety precautions, you might have a valid personal injury claim. However, proving the other party's negligence is crucial.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS Regardless of who caused the injury, if it happened at your workplace, a workers' compensation claim is applicable. There's no need to prove anyone's liability.
THE DECISION FACTOR There might be instances where both claim types are viable. Personal injury claims can offer compensation for pain and suffering but are harder to validate. On the contrary, workers' compensation claims are simpler but may not cover emotional damages.
