Police, Fire, and Municipal Workers' Compensation
We are Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialists in Connecticut. We understand the law and how to pursue effective workers' compensation claims. If you have suffered an injury at work or as a result of your work, you deserve to be compensated for your inability to continue your work. Police officers, firemen, EMT's, and other municipal workers may be eligible for workers' compensation as a result of various injuries, such as:
- Was the job notoriously dangerous, causing orthopedic, spinal cord, or burn-related injuries?
- Did heart disease or hypertension result from the increase stress associated with the job?
- Did occupational conditions result in a repetitive trauma injury?
Pursuing Workers' Compensation
As a police officer, fireman, EMT, or other municipal worker, the law recognizes that there is a presumption of medical risk within your job duties. The law varies depending on the year in which you enlisted as an officer. Generally, if the injury, disability, or other medical condition did not surface before you started working in this field, there is a presumption that the condition is related to the job.
At Cousins, Desrosiers & Morizio, we can help you understand your workers' compensation rights and help you pursue monetary benefits. In addition, we have the experience to pursue survivors' benefits for widows and dependents of police officers, firefighters, and other workers who died in the line of duty or from an occupational disease.
