Workers' Compensation

Berlin, Connecticut, Workers' Compensation Attorney

While injuries can be sustained anywhere, getting injured on the job can have long-term consequences, including physical injury, medical bills, the impaired ability to perform your job, or loss of your job altogether.

Money for a Work Related Accident

If injured on the job, you may be able to file a workers' compensation claim with your employer's insurance company. It is important to file a workers' compensation claim immediately after you suffer a work injury. Delays in filing may jeopardize your ultimate recovery of benefits. Under Connecticut law, you have only a brief period to file. To speak to a workers' compensation lawyer of Berlin Law Offices, LLC, call 866-587-6215 or 860-828-6688. We represent injured workers in cities including Berlin, New Britain, Hartford, and Middletown.

Wrongful Denial of Workers' Compensation Benefits

In order to avoid the costs associated with workers' compensation, your employer's insurance company has a stake in denying your claim. By convincing you to see an insurance company's doctor, they may attempt to deny your benefits completely, or force you back to work before you recover completely. Standup to these strong-armed tactics by hiring a workers' compensation lawyer.

Benefits you may receive under workers' compensation include:

• Weekly paychecks
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Permanent disability payments
• Temporary disability payments
• Medical care

Termination Following a Workers' Compensation Claim

Contact the firm at Berlin Law Offices, LLC, immediately, if you were terminated after an on-the-job injury. Retaliatory termination occurs when an employer fires you after you file a workers' compensation claim. Attempting to avoid the expense associated with workers' compensation, your employer may illegally terminate you before you cost them any money. Retaliatory termination is illegal under Connecticut's workers' compensation laws and you are entitled to benefits for such a wrongful act.
