  • Manufacturing and industrial employers

  • School systems and educational institutions

We understand how these employers and their insurers defend claims—and how to overcome those defenses.

Connecticut Workers' Compensation Benefits You May Be Entitled To

Depending on your injury, Connecticut workers' compensation benefits may include:

  • All reasonable and necessary medical treatment

  • Temporary total disability benefits

  • Temporary partial disability benefits

  • Permanent partial disability (PPD) awards

  • Permanent total disability benefits

  • Vocational rehabilitation or retraining

  • Death benefits for surviving dependents

Every case is different. Proper medical documentation and legal strategy are essential to securing full benefits.

Third-Party Injury Claims in Work Accident Cases

Workers' compensation is often not the only remedy available.

If someone other than your employer contributed to your injury—such as:

  • A contractor or subcontractor

  • A property owner

  • A product or equipment manufacturer

  • A negligent driver

  • A government entity

—you may be able to pursue a third-party personal injury claim in addition to your workers' compensation case.

Third-party claims can allow recovery of damages not available in workers' comp, including:

  • Full lost wages

  • Pain and suffering

  • Loss of enjoyment of life

We evaluate every West Hartford work injury case for potential third-party liability before any settlement is finalized.

Common Workplace Accidents in West Hartford

We regularly handle claims involving:

  • Slip and fall accidents

  • Ladder and scaffold falls

  • Motor vehicle accidents on the job

  • Struck-by and caught-in equipment injuries

  • Electrical injuries and burns

  • Toxic exposure and occupational disease

  • Workplace violence injuries

Many workplace injuries are preventable. When safety rules are ignored, workers' pay the price.

Speak With a West Hartford Workers' Compensation Lawyer Before You Settle

Once you accept a workers' compensation settlement, your rights may be permanently affected. Future medical care, disability benefits, and third-party claims can be lost if a settlement is mishandled.

Before you sign anything, speak with a lawyer who understands Connecticut workers' compensation law and the long-term consequences of settlement decisions.
