Understanding Connecticut Workers' Compensation Benefits

Most employers in Hartford are legally required to carry workers' compensation insurance. This system provides protection for workers who:

  • Experience a flare-up of an old injury related to their job duties

Key benefits available include:

  • Medical Expenses coverage

  • Wage Replacement if you are temporarily unable to work

  • Permanent Partial Disability compensation for lasting injuries

  • Specific Loss Awards for loss of limbs or bodily function

Every Hartford worker injured on the job has rights — don't let your employer or the insurance company tell you otherwise.
