Workers' Compensation

New Haven Workers Compensation Lawyer

At Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon, we are experienced Connecticut workers compensation lawyers. We help clients obtain all of the workers compensation funds they are entitled to.

In Connecticut, most employers are required to carry workers compensation insurance to pay for the medical costs and disability of workers injured on the job. But obtaining everything you deserve is not the easiest task.

Your employer and its insurance company have the right to choose the doctor who evaluates your injury and resulting disability. They want to keep their costs down, so they will tend to select doctors who will minimize the extent of your injury and disability. If so, you may not receive all of the treatment you need to fully recover, or compensation for the full extent of your disability.

Helping Injured Workers

The attorneys at Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon know how to get full compensation in the workmans comp system.

Maximizing Compensation from All Sources

Workers compensation insurance covers only your costs for medical treatment, rehabilitation therapy, lost income, and payment for any resulting disability. Your pain, your suffering, and your loss of life's enjoyments are not compensated.

In an on-the-job accident, there may be multiple sources of compensation, in addition to the workers compensation system. You may have been injured as the result of a defective product. You may have been injured in a car accident or truck accident because of someone else's careless behavior. In many construction accidents a third party such as a sub-contractor is actually responsible for the accident.
