Frequently Asked Questions

How long do workers compensation claims typically take?

The timeline varies based on claim complexity and whether the insurance company accepts liability. Simple claims may resolve in weeks, while disputed cases can take several months or longer. The firm will provide a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.

What costs are involved in pursuing a personal injury case?

Many personal injury attorneys, including those at this firm, work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you receive compensation. Court costs and expert fees may apply, and these arrangements are discussed during the initial consultation.

Can I file a workers compensation claim and a personal injury lawsuit?

In some circumstances, Connecticut law allows injured workers to pursue both a workers compensation claim and a third-party injury claim. The firm can explain your options and which claims may apply to your situation.
