Lawrence Morizio is a board-certified workers’ compensation specialist 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, firefighters, EMTs and other municipal workers may be eligible for workers’ compensation in the following scenarios:
As a police officer, firefighter, 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 Morizio Law Firm, P.C., we can help you understand your workers’ compensation rights and 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 occupational disease.
