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 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.

Do You Qualify for Workers' Compensation in New Haven?
If your injury or illness is related to your job duties, there’s a strong chance that you may qualify for workers' compensation benefits. The first step is to report the injury to your employer, and from there, we can guide you through the rest of the process to ensure your claim is handled correctly.
Get in touch with us today at 203-399-0000 to schedule a free consultation. We’ll help you understand your rights and take the necessary steps to protect your claim.
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.
What Happens If Your Workers’ Compensation Claim is Denied in New Haven?
Insurance companies are known to deny or delay legitimate workers' compensation claims in order to protect their bottom line. If your claim is denied, don’t give up hope. Goff Law Group specializes in handling workers' comp appeals and fighting for the compensation you deserve.
Our workers' compensation attorneys in New Haven review the reasons for the denial and take immediate action to appeal the decision. We ensure you receive the benefits you're entitled to so that you can focus on your recovery without added stress.
