Workers’ Compensation

Anyone who suffers a work-related injury, illness, or medical condition is entitled to weekly wages, medical treatment, mileage reimbursement, and long-term coverage for injuries and related conditions under the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Act.

Retaining an experienced workers’ compensation attorney immediately after an injury, or the onset of a work-related illness or medical condition, is critical to commencing medical treatment and obtaining the highest level of benefits available.

Cramer & Anderson’s highly-experienced workers’ compensation attorneys and legal staff—whose goal is always prompt results—have achieved settlements reaching the high six figures and exceeding $1 million in some cases.

These outcomes are based on decades of experience, a deep understanding of the Workers’ Compensation Act, leadership roles on workers’ compensation law and issues, constant monitoring of updates to the law, and a reputation for being exemplary that has other attorneys and firms sending us workers’ compensation referrals.

Those with workplace-related injuries, illnesses, or conditions are also entitled to a permanency award based on the specific circumstances of the injured body part or other impairment. This comes in addition to the wages received during the recovery from an injury, surgery, or illness.

Partners Barry MollerJennifer Collins, and Chris Sochacki are highly respected in the workers’ compensation and medical communities, and Attorney Moller is an authority on physical impairment ratings. In addition to securing optimal settlements, they have tried many cases, as well as successfully argued appeals.

We provide clients with a prompt, responsive, and comprehensive approach to injuries, including a full understanding of the medical options available and the intricacies of workers’ compensation laws—and while our regional firm with six offices in western Connecticut has significant depth and resources, we take a warm, caring, and compassionate approach to every case and client.
