How to File a Workers' Compensation Claim in New Britain

If you're unfamiliar with the process, filing a workers' compensation claim can seem overwhelming. Below is an overview of the five-step process for filing an uncontested claim in New Britain:

1. Report Your Injury: Report your workplace injury or illness to your employer immediately. Seek initial medical treatment from an employer-designated doctor.
2. Choose Your Doctor: Once the claim is filed, select a treating physician and continue to receive necessary medical treatment.
3. Disability Agreement: If you're unable to work due to the injury, you may sign a voluntary agreement for disability benefits.
4. Return to Work: As you recover, you may be assigned restricted duties until you reach full capacity.
5. Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI): Once you've reached MMI, an assessment will determine if you qualify for ongoing benefits.

However, if your claim is denied, or if you encounter any issues with the benefits, it's essential to have an attorney who can step in and fight for you. Contact our firm today at [860-500-1414] for expert assistance.

Understanding the Time Limits for New Britain Workers' Compensation Claims

Time is of the essence when it comes to filing your workers' compensation claim. In Connecticut, workers generally have:

• One year from the date of the injury to file a claim, or
• Three years from the onset of symptoms for occupational illnesses

Missing these deadlines can result in a loss of benefits. Reach out to us as soon as possible to ensure you file on time and protect your rights.

After a Workplace Accident: Your Next Steps

Following a workplace accident, it's important to:

1. Notify Your Employer: Reporting the injury is essential for beginning the workers' compensation process.
2. Seek Medical Treatment: Get prompt treatment, either through your employer's designated doctor or another qualified healthcare provider.
3. File Your Claim: Submit Form 30C to both your employer and the Workers' Compensation Commission District Office to ensure your claim is formally recognized.

Our firm is here to guide you through each of these steps. Contact our team today to get started.
