How Using A Board Certified Workers’ Compensation Attorney Can Help You

The state of Connecticut has no shortage of workers’ compensation attorneys who can help guide you through the often difficult waters of a claim.  However, there are a select few who have gone through the rigorous process of being board certified.

Board certified workers’ compensation attorneys must be able to demonstrate that a significant percentage of their practice is dedicated to workers’ compensation.  While non-board certified workers’ compensation attorneys do not have to show that level of specificity in their practice.

This important distinction can mean the difference between someone who is loosely educated on workers’ compensation statutes or someone who is steeped in knowledge on this type of case.

When an attorney has a clear focus on a practice area, he/she can show a level of expertise that doesn’t necessarily accompany an attorney who practices in multiple areas of the law.  

When you are filing a claim you’ll want someone who can;

  • Accurately walk you through the process of your claim

  • Utilize their knowledge in this area of practice to get you the claim you deserve

  • Be a resource for you as you go through the process for any questions that may arise so you can be fully educated on the procedures needed to undertake such a claim.
