Connecticut's agency and claim process
Connecticut claims go through the Workers' Compensation Commission. The claim itself is a written notice of claim, the Commission's Form 30C, served on the employer and an administrative law judge. The form warns that if the employer doesn't contest liability or start paying without prejudice within 28 days of receiving it, compensability is presumed.
Connecticut timing rules for intake
Report the injury immediately
C.G.S. 31-294b requires an employee to report a work injury to the employer immediately. A late report doesn't bar the claim, but the administrative law judge can reduce the award in proportion to any prejudice the employer proves.
Notice of claim deadline
Under C.G.S. 31-294c, written notice of claim is due within one year from the accident, or three years from the first manifestation of a symptom of an occupational disease. Missing it isn't fatal if, within the period, there was a hearing or written hearing request, a voluntary agreement, or medical care furnished for the injury.
Not legal advice. Check current rules with the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission before relying on them.
