Worker's Compensation

Your Connecticut Law Firm for Worker's Compensation Help
Working men and women are the backbone of Connecticut's economy.  In agriculture, fishing, shipbuilding, aerospace, manufacturing, construction, retailing, government service and tourism, Connecticut boasts a diverse workforce that makes it the place we love to call home.

Connecticut cannot survive without its hardworking citizens.  The law recognizes this.  When a worker is hurt on the job, paying compensation for medical bills, lost wages and permanent disability is not an employer's option  -  it's required.  You do not have to "sue" your employer.  But like most things in the law, what is supposed to be a simple procedure often gets quite complicated.  Injured workers are entitled to be on equal footing with their employer's workers' compensation insurance company.  You are entitled to be represented by your own attorney, who will work hard to make sure that your benefits are paid and pitfalls are avoided.

At the law firm of Glass, Lebovitz, Kasheta & Bren, we've spent the last 30 years fighting for the rights of the injured in CT.  If you've been hurt, or a loved one has been injured or killed while on the job, we are here to help.  Remember  -  it never hurts to call.

Understanding CT's Worker's Compensation Laws
Connecticut worker's compensation laws can be complicated.  Those laws continue to change.  Rules and procedures that you or your friends may remember from past compensation claims may already be out of date.  And the claims for work injuries can be time consuming. If you've been hurt on the job and you're filing  -  or if you've already filed-a worker's comp claim for injury or death, talk with a lawyer before trying to represent yourself.  Feel confident about hiring a law firm with decades of experience in handling worker's compensation claims in CT.

After a work-related injury, you are left to face mounting medical bills, the prospect of a lengthy recovery, and the gnawing fear that you may never be able to return to do the same work or earn as much.  A death at work almost overshadows all of these worries with enormous grief.  These are reasons why it's so important to make the right call while choosing a worker's compensation attorney.

In every on-the-job accident, compensation benefits may be available not only for your injury-related medical and surgical bills, but also for physical therapy, medical equipment, mileage to and from your treatment appointments, and any permanent disability (even if you return to work).  And if you lose time from work, compensation is usually available to make up for lost wages and lost earning potential.

If you're having trouble getting medical treatment after a work accident, or if your workers' compensation wage benefits are not being paid, or if an insurance company has denied your claim entirely, we can help.
