What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?

Workers' compensation in Bridgeport provides benefits for both work-related injuries and occupational illnesses. Whether your injury was caused by a sudden accident or a long-term health condition developed over time due to your job, you may be eligible for compensation.

Traumatic Injuries

Traumatic injuries happen suddenly due to accidents at work. Common examples include:

  • Falls from ladders or scaffolding
  • Injuries from machinery or equipment malfunctions
  • Motor vehicle accidents during work-related driving
  • Injuries from hazardous materials

If you suffer a traumatic injury, workers’ compensation typically covers the costs of medical treatment and lost wages.

Occupational Illnesses & Repetitive Stress Injuries

Some injuries or illnesses develop over time due to workplace conditions. These include:

  • Repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Strains and sprains from lifting or repetitive movements
  • Respiratory conditions from exposure to toxic chemicals or dust
  • Asbestos-related diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma

If your illness or injury developed because of your job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits.

Do You Need a Lawyer for Your Workers’ Compensation Case in Bridgeport?

Workers' compensation is intended to be a no-fault system, but even legitimate claims are sometimes unfairly denied or delayed. This can leave workers struggling to pay bills, cover medical expenses, or replace lost wages.

At Goff Law Group, we have extensive experience representing injured workers in Bridgeport and throughout Connecticut. Whether you’re dealing with a denied claim, delayed benefits, or an employer dispute, we are here to help you navigate the system and fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Workers’ Compensation Covers in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Workers’ compensation benefits in Bridgeport cover more than just medical expenses. Depending on your injury or illness, you may be entitled to:

  • Medical expenses: This includes doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, prescriptions, and necessary medical equipment.
  • Temporary disability benefits: If you’re temporarily unable to work due to your injury, you may receive up to 75% of your average weekly wages.
  • Permanent disability benefits: If your injury prevents you from returning to work permanently, you may qualify for additional benefits.
  • Vocational rehabilitation: If you are unable to return to your previous job, vocational rehab benefits can help pay for job retraining and education.

Although pain and suffering aren’t covered by workers’ compensation, our team will ensure you receive all other benefits you are entitled to.

How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim in Bridgeport

Filing for workers’ compensation can be a daunting process, but following the correct steps can improve your chances of success.

Report Your Injury Immediately

Notify your employer about your injury as soon as possible. Be specific about when, where, and how the injury occurred. Failing to report your injury promptly could lead to a denied claim.

Get Medical Treatment

You may be required to see a doctor chosen by your employer, or you may choose your own healthcare provider. Be truthful and detailed about your injury, as your medical records play a vital role in your claim.

File a Notice of Claim

Your employer must file the Employer’s First Report of Injury form. You must file Form 30C with the Workers' Compensation Commission within one year of the injury or within three years from the onset of symptoms for an occupational illness.

Insurance Company Investigation

Once your claim is submitted, the insurance company will review your medical records, work history, and may request an independent medical examination. The insurer is required to approve or deny your claim within 28 days.

What Happens if Your Claim is Denied in Bridgeport?

If your claim is denied, don’t give up. Goff Law Group has extensive experience handling appeals and fighting against insurance companies that attempt to deny or undervalue claims. Our workers' compensation attorneys in Bridgeport will ensure you have the support you need to pursue the benefits you deserve.
