YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO:
<\/b><\/span><\/h2>
Weekly benefits while you are temporarily totally disabled\u00a0 and unable to work<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

Connecticut, you are entitled to two-thirds of your lost wages while receiving treatment for your workplace injuries. However, an employer may also reassign you to work you can complete during your treatment and recovery. Unfortunately, many employers use this as an opportunity to reassign injured employees to work that does not follow local and state law. In other cases, employers may terminate the employee for knowing and exercising their rights under the law. A workers comp lawyer can work with you to ensure your employer treats you appropriately and follows all applicable laws and regulations.<\/span><\/p>

Payment of your medical expenses<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>

If you\u2019re injured on the job, your employer must provide compensation for any treatment and related medical expenses that are needed due to the workplace injury. However, employers also have the right to choose the doctor or physician that provides care, which can often give them the upper hand when deciding their treatment options. In some cases, and with the help of a professional workers comp attorney like those at Ganim, Ganim & Ganim PC, you may be able to see a doctor or treatment specialist of your choosing.<\/span>

Weekly payments or a lump sum payment for partial or total disability resulting from a work-related injury<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

The law states that your employer only needs to provide you with pay that covers lost wages and medical expenses until you cannot get better. In the case of partial or total disability, though, your employer may offer continuing payments or a lump sum due to your diminished capacity. The workers’ comp attorneys at Ganim, Ganim & Ganim PC will partner with you to ensure that you receive a fair amount that properly compensates you. As this is the last payment your employee will provide, it\u2019s important to have dedicated legal professionals at your side during this settlement process.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What Should I Do If I\u2019m Injured?<\/strong><\/h2>

Injuries in the workplace can occur anywhere. From construction sites to retail to office settings, you are never guaranteed to avoid bodily injury. Sometimes these injuries are major and dramatic and result in amputations or broken bones. In other cases, repetitive stress injuries could be the cause and leave you dealing with carpel tunnel.<\/p>

No matter what type of injury or in what workplace setting it occurs, you should take immediate steps to protect yourself physically and financially. That\u2019s because the state of Connecticut gives workers the right to receive workers\u2019 compensation benefits due to a workplace injury. However, many employers are ignorant of workers comp laws or purposely ignore them to prevent their employees from receiving rightful legal compensation.<\/p>

Whenever you\u2019re injured in the workplace, you should notify your employer immediately. Even if you are not experiencing immediate symptoms, it\u2019s also helpful to immediately see a medical professional diagnose any resulting injuries. Then, make sure you seek sound legal advice to ensure you are receiving what you\u2019re legally entitled to as you navigate your workers\u2019 comp claim.<\/p>

Experienced Legal Help That\u2019s on Your Side<\/strong><\/h2>

Filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim isn\u2019t always as straightforward as employees deserve. Your employee may try to cut off your compensation at the pass by offering a package that\u2019s less than you truly deserve to avoid paying out your claims in full. The experienced workers\u2019 comp attorneys at Ganim, Ganim & Ganim PC, can be your partners during this process to ensure you get the amount you deserve under Connecticut law.<\/p>

Additionally, beyond the financial compensation of medical expenses or lost wages, you may qualify for a variety of other benefits under workers comp laws:<\/p>
