Danbury Attorney Talks About Workers' Comp Rights
At the law office of Alan Barry & Associates, LLC, we will carefully explain the workers' compensation laws and procedures, as well as your rights and options, so that you always know what to expect. Here are some of the most important things to know in the aftermath of a job injury:
- As a general rule, workers' compensation insurance is mandatory for employers in Connecticut.
- As the injured party, you have the right to choose the first physician to evaluate your case, unless your employer does not have a managed care program.
- You must wait a minimum of three days before filing a work comp claim.
- For benefits to be retroactive to the date of your injury, your disability must last a minimum of seven days.
We generally don't get involved with workers' compensation claims until your request for benefits has been denied. We will handle all types of appeals to get the compensation you need and deserve.
