Common Workplace Injuries Covered by Workers' Compensation

Workers' compensation is designed to provide financial and medical benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. At Morrissey, Morrissey & Rydzik, LLC, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of workplace injury cases in Naugatuck, CT.

Some common workplace injuries covered by workers' compensation include:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Repetitive strain injuries
• Construction site accidents
• Vehicle accidents
• Exposure to harmful substances
• Occupational diseases

Our team of skilled workers' compensation lawyers understands the complexities of these cases and will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve. We will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf to secure maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.

How Do I Know If I Am Eligible for Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

According to the Workers’ Compensation Commission of Connecticut, the Connecticut Workers' Compensation System “covers almost all employees, including minors, non-citizens, and part-time employees, regardless of occupation, business size, duration of employment, or number of hours worked per day” with very few exceptions.

This means that nearly any employee in Connecticut who sustained an injury at work or contracted an occupational disease is likely eligible to receive assistance of some kind. Additionally, the family members of an employee who passed away in such an accident may receive compensation as well.

What Is Your Best Advice for How to Secure Maximum Benefits?

A positive outcome in a workers’ compensation case can result in compensation for any of the following:

• Medical treatment
• Physical therapy or rehabilitation
• Temporary or permanent disability benefits
• Lost wages incurred due to missed work

The best advice we can give is to report an injury to work as soon as it becomes clear that it’s a problem, and then call our Connecticut workers’ compensation lawyers immediately thereafter.

The longer you wait on each of these issues, the more power you give to either the employer or the insurer to act unethically regarding you and your injury. People with workplace injuries need to take action to protect and defend themselves sooner rather than later.
