Worker's Compensation

Worker's compensation is a statutory forum allowing employees hurt in a work related injury to receive compensation. Connecticut worker's compensation laws allow for the recovery of benefits when an employee is injured on the job whether or not someone is negligent or otherwise at fault. For employees forced to miss work due to their injuries, the worker's compensation laws provide various categories of benefits. The various statutory categories may appear as a confusing maze to an injured employee. Our experienced worker's compensation lawyers at Levy, Leff & DeFrank, PC guide clients to ensure their eligibility and receipt of weekly or lump sum benefits for lost wages, medical expenses, temporary and/or permanent disability.
