Workers’ Compensation

If you are injured at work within the context of employment, workers’ compensation laws entitle you to certain benefits, which may include the following:

• Temporary Total Disability benefits while you can’t work
• Payment of your medical bills
• Permanent Partial Disability benefits
• Total Disability benefits

The workers' compensation laws are designed to compensate you without the need for litigation. In some cases, the dependents of a fatally injured employee may also be entitled to benefits. The law is also designed to protect employers by placing limits on the amount that the employee can recover.

The Connecticut Workers' Compensation System is a no-fault system that covers most employees. Under this system, private insurers or self-insured employers pay benefits to an injured employee, even if the accident was the employee's fault. Even employees born with a medical condition that might make them more susceptible to injury or cause injuries to be more serious are covered under the Connecticut system.

The Connecticut Workers' Compensation System helps workers injured on the job or workers with an occupational disease by providing any or all of the following benefits:

• Necessary medical treatment
• Weekly benefits while disabled
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Additional benefits for scarring, disfigurement, and permanent physical impairment
