Connecticut Law Firm has Workers’ Compensation Article Published

Jan. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- A work-related accident can be a frightening and life changing experience.  The laws require Employers in Connecticut to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover the costs associated with medical care and other benefits to the injured worker.  Some employers are reluctant to report workplace injuries or provide adequate insurance.  The process of applying for workers’ compensation can be confusing and complicated.  Receiving the benefits that you are entitled to and need can be frustrating.  The Law Offices of Schafer & Schafer, LLP are dedicated to helping workers injured in motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, industrial accidents, lifting and repetitive motion accidents, and other work-related accidents.  

The law partners Timothy M. Schafer and Marisa F. Schafer just recently had an article published in the Workers’ Compensation Quarterly publication.  They have received recognition in Connecticut Magazine and New England Super Lawyers as “Rising Stars” in the legal community.  The attorneys and support staff at the firm truly care about their clients and help them receive the compensation and benefits they deserve for their work-related injuries.  They have experience in handling the legal aspects on behalf of families who have lost a loved one in a wrongful death in the workplace.  

Employees have the right to submit workers’ compensation claims for injuries and without the fear of retaliation or dismissal because of a claim.  Injured workers may claim benefits for lost wages, medical expenses, and other cost incurred.  Some injuries require a long period of rest and rehabilitation before a worker can return to the job.  Other severely injured employees may be unfit to return to the previous type of work and require vocational training for a new job.  

It is important to have an experienced attorney represent employees with the claims process, at workers’ compensation hearings, and at appeals when necessary.
