What Does Workers' Compensation Cover in New Haven?

Workers' compensation benefits are meant to cover a wide variety of injuries and illnesses that occur in the workplace. These benefits can be broken down into two primary categories: traumatic injuries and occupational diseases or repetitive stress injuries. No matter the nature of your injury, you may be entitled to compensation.

Traumatic Injuries

A traumatic injury results from a specific, one-time accident that happens while you're performing your job duties. To qualify for workers' compensation, the injury must:

  • Require medical attention
  • Be directly related to your job responsibilities

Some common traumatic injuries include:

  • Fractures from falls or accidents
  • Sprains and strains from lifting heavy objects
  • Head injuries caused by falling objects or accidents at the workplace

Occupational Diseases & Repetitive Stress Injuries

Occupational illnesses develop over time and may result from continuous exposure to certain work conditions. These include:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from repetitive tasks like typing or assembly line work
  • Back and Neck Strains from lifting or repetitive movements
  • Respiratory Illnesses from exposure to hazardous chemicals
  • Hearing Loss due to prolonged exposure to loud machinery
  • Heat-Related Illnesses from working in extreme heat conditions

If you’ve been diagnosed with an illness or injury caused by your job, Goff Law Group can help you determine whether you’re entitled to workers' compensation benefits.

How to File a Workers' Compensation Claim in New Haven

Filing a workers’ compensation claim can be a complex process. The sooner you start, the better the chances that your claim will be successful. Here's how to get started:

1. Report the Injury Immediately

Once you've been injured, it's crucial to report it to your employer as soon as possible. Make sure to include the details of the injury, including when, where, and how it happened. Failing to report an injury promptly could lead to a denied claim.

2. Seek Medical Care

Your employer may direct you to a specific doctor, or you may be allowed to choose your own. Be honest about your injury and any symptoms you’re experiencing—your medical records will play a vital role in your claim.

3. Submit Your Workers’ Compensation Claim

Your employer is responsible for filing the first report of your injury, but you also need to submit Form 30C to the Workers' Compensation Commission. Make sure this form is submitted within one year of your injury or three years from the first symptoms of an occupational disease.

4. Insurance Company Investigation

Once your claim is filed, the insurance company will begin investigating. They will review your medical records, work history, and may schedule an independent medical examination. Insurance companies must make a decision within 28 days of receiving your claim.
