High-Risk Occupations

Connecticut High Risk Work Injury Lawyer

While workers can sustain injuries in any type of job, those in high-risk occupations have a higher chance of something happening that affects their well-being and long-term health. The careers with increased risk include firefighters, law enforcement officers, construction workers, doctors and nurses, and utility service professionals. If you work in any of these or other dangerous fields, you need the protection of workers' compensation in case anything unexpected happens.

Unfortunately, some Connecticut companies or organizations who employ people in these roles have the erroneous belief that workers should accept the risk and not make claims if an injury or other health problem occurs.

Aspell, P.C. in suburban Hartford, Ct,  we understand these challenges and take them on so you can realize the compensation and coverage you deserve. We fight for workers' rights every day.
