Workers' Compensation Lawyer Bridgeport, CT | Attorney Tom Ganim

Connecticut Workers' Comp Lawyer

YOU GOT HURT AT WORK. NOW GET WHAT YOU'RE OWED.

Connecticut law requires your employer — or your employer's insurance company — to cover your medical treatment and a portion of your lost wages when you're injured on the job. On paper, it's that simple.

In practice, claims get delayed, lowballed, or denied. Employers reassign workers improperly, and some even retaliate. Attorney Tom Ganim makes sure you get every benefit Connecticut law entitles you to — and pushes back hard when your employer won't.

WORKERS' COMP FAQ

Do I need a workers compensation attorney?
You can file on your own, but employers and their insurance companies often pay less than you're owed or deny valid claims. Tom levels the field and makes sure nothing is left on the table.
What benefits am I entitled to?
Generally, coverage for your medical treatment and about two-thirds of your lost wages, plus disability or other benefits depending on the severity of your injury.
What if my employer says it wasn't their fault?
Workers' compensation is largely no-fault. You can be covered for a workplace injury even when no one was specifically to blame.
Can I be fired for filing a claim?
Retaliating against you for exercising your workers' comp rights is illegal in Connecticut. If it happens, talk to Tom right away.
What if my claim is denied?
You can appeal to the Workers' Compensation Review Board. Tom handles the appeal and fights to get your benefits restored.
What does it cost to hire Tom?
Nothing up front. Your consultation is free, and you pay no attorney's fee unless Tom wins your case.
