How to File a Workers' Compensation Claim in New Britain, CT

Filing correctly is critical. Here are the key steps:

1. Report the Injury Immediately

Tell your supervisor, and create written documentation.

2. Get Medical Treatment

Start with an employer-approved provider. You may later be able to see your own doctor.

3. File Form 30C

This is the official claim notice to both your employer and the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission. Without it, your case isn't valid.

4. Track Your Disability Benefits

You may qualify for Temporary Total Disability (TTD) or Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) if you cannot work.

5. Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)

When your recovery plateaus, you may qualify for a Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) rating and award.
