All Connecticut workers’ compensation cases are unique and come with their own sets of circumstances. However, the vast majority of injuries have a certain set of characteristics in common. If you are injured while on the job you should take note of the following characteristics once you have made sure that you are safe.
-
Nature of the injury is the first and most important characteristic. This is the basis of your claim.
-
Event or exposure will identify how the injury occurred.
-
Source and secondary source of the injury or illness.
-
Body part affected by the injury or illness
When you are injured on the job it is important to document your injury in the best way possible. The more information you have about how the injury occurred and when, the better off you will be as you go through the workers’ compensation claim process.
If you or a loved one are filing a Connecticut workers’ compensation claim, you may need to have a board certified attorney review your case. Contact our office to share your story with one of our attorneys.
