Workers’ Compensation Attorneys in Connecticut

Protecting the Rights of Injured Workers Across Eastern Connecticut

Have you been injured on the job? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to face this difficult time by yourself. At Pazz Injury Law, we proudly represent injured workers throughout Connecticut in their workers’ compensation claims. Our mission is simple: to fight for the medical treatment, financial support, and legal rights you are entitled to under the law.

What Is Workers’ Compensation?

The Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Act was created to support employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. This system is designed to provide:

  • Medical care
  • Wage replacement
  • Vocational rehabilitation
  • Disability benefits

However, while the law exists to protect you, insurance companies often work hard to limit or deny your benefits. They may minimize your injury, delay your payments, or question your right to care altogether. That’s where we step in.

The workers compensation act is designed to provide injured workers financial and medical support to get better and get back to work. Workers compensation claims also involve insurance adjusters and attorneys who often times try to minimize the benefits that you’re entitled to or deny any benefits at all. Our firm stands up for the rights and benefits that you may be entitled to. Workers compensation claims are handled on a contingency basis. Thus, it doesn’t cost you anything until we are able to get you certain benefits or settle your workers compensation claim.

When an injury occurs at work, the first and most important step is to notify your employer right away. In Connecticut, delays in reporting your injury can complicate your workers’ compensation claim or even jeopardize your right to benefits. Whether it’s a sudden accident or a repetitive stress injury, be sure to submit a written report as soon as symptoms appear. This creates a documented record of your injury and starts the legal process to protect your rights.

Even if your injury seems minor at first, it’s essential to see a medical professional immediately. Not only is your health the top priority, but prompt medical attention also creates a clear and timely record of your condition, which is critical for your claim. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to connect your injury to the workplace. Follow your doctor’s recommendations and keep copies of all medical records and treatment plans.

Connecticut law requires injured workers to submit Form 30C to the Workers’ Compensation Commission in the district where they reside. This step is not optional—it’s the legal notice that starts your claim. You must file within one year of your injury, or within three years if it’s an occupational illness. Without this form, your claim may be denied, regardless of your injury. Filing correctly and on time is essential—and we can help ensure it’s done right.

Once your injury is reported and medical care is underway, it’s time to get legal representation. At Pazz Injury Law, our experienced Connecticut workers’ compensation attorneys will guide you through every step—from paperwork to hearings—while you focus on your recovery. We handle negotiations with employers, insurers, and medical providers, and we fight for the full benefits you deserve. With no upfront fees, there’s no risk to reach out for help.

Last July, 2025, my wife and I were injured in a car accident. We sustained significant personal injuries and our car was totaled.

We interviewed several CT law personal injury firms, both big and small, and the Pazz Law had just the right balance and was the clear choice as our personal injury law firm. It was an excellent decision.

First, outstanding results. Attorney Pazz negotiated a 400% increase over what was the insurance company originally offered. Second, incredible communication. Our case was handled by the principal attorney at the firm, not some inexperienced associate.

Attorney Pazz is supported by a first rate support team, including a great paralegal team (Kim is outstanding) that keeps everything organized and on track with the help of cutting edge technology.

We believe that the Pazz law firm secret sauce is that they really do care about you as an individual and what you are going through as a car accident victim. It is great to have them as your legal advocate.

As a former college hockey player, Attorney Dave Pazz knows how to fight! Attorney Pazz settled our complicated personal injury case in less than 11 months. We highly recommend the Pazz Law Firm.

Pazz Injury Law was recommended to me after a serious car accident. I’m so glad I took the advice and called. I didn’t know what to expect, I was nervous and still upset after the accident. They listened to me with patience and understanding. They took over the burden of all the tasks such as chasing down documentation, contacting insurance, the police departments for reports, health insurance information, the list goes on. Their help gave me the peace of mind to focus on my recovery. Their communication was excellent; they always kept me updated. The team is truly wonderful, professional, and caring. I am beyond grateful and satisfied with the outcome. If you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney, I highly recommend the team at Pazz Injury Law.

I was bit by a dog at work, and workers comp wouldn't cover some of my medical bills. Attorney Pazzaglia took the time to have a detailed discussion about what to expect during the lawsuit process. He and his paralegal Kyle fought hard against the insurance company to ensure my settlement was adequate for what I had been through. If you need anything injury lawyer, this is the law firm you want to represent you!

Attorney Dave Pazzaglia helped me with my workman’s comp case and did an outstanding job!!
I highly recommend him to represent you in your injury case/cases. He is extremely supportive through the whole process and let’s you know everything that is happening as he finds out . I felt like I could call him or his awesome paralegal Kim with any questions I had. I'm glad I was referred to his practice. Both Dave and Kim are super friendly, very outgoing and make you feel that you really do matter. Highly recommend. Thanks again Dave!! ☺️☺️
Pazz Injury Law did an excellent job handling my case after I was injured as a passenger in a car accident. Another firm told me my case “wasn’t worth it,” but Dave Pazzaglia took it seriously from the start. That alone says a lot.

They were proactive, communicative, and truly helpful throughout the process. I never felt left in the dark, and they worked hard to get me a fair settlement.

If you want a law firm that actually cares and fights for you, I highly recommend Pazz Injury Law.

Thank you!!!

Pazz Injury Law came highly recommended to me for a personal injury case, and I can see why. From my initial consultation all the way through to settlement, they provided an outstanding experience.
What impressed me most was their responsiveness and genuine care. They were always quick to get back to me and really communicated a sense of empathy and compassion for my situation. Dealing with a personal injury is stressful enough - having an attorney who truly understands that and treats you like a person, not just a case number, made all the difference.
I'm highly satisfied with how they handled my case and the outcome we achieved. If you're looking for a personal injury attorney in the East Lyme area who will fight for you while treating you with respect and compassion, I highly recommend Pazz Injury Law.

I would give Pazzaglia Law 10 stars if I could. After a very bad accident I went to a lawyer that had lots of commercials and billboards, that got me nowhere. Never spoke to the lawyer an 2 aides that could not remember me or my accident. By chance I reached out on Facebook for advice for a good personal injury lawyer. My son and I both found our way to Dave Pazzaglia's law office. From day one he was always available to talk with me and help me through the process. I explained how important transparency was with me, so I always knew what I was expecting. Transparency, friendliness, professionalism was what me and my son received during every interaction. I have a huge personality and I am sure I can be overwhelming to some especially when dealing with trauma. My personality was met with compassion and understanding. It was a long process after a bad accident and multiple surgeries. But Dave Pazzaglia made sure the end result was life changing for my son and I. He made a horrible situation bearable.

David is the best injury attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. David explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. David made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. David Pazzaglia was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

David and his team are the best. He worked hard to get me the money that I deserved after I was struck from behind on the highway. The party at fault wanted to settle for a lower amount David (Attorney Pazzaglia) fought for more until I got the amount I deserved. He and his team kept me informed throughout the entire process and my suit was resolved much quicker than I would have expected! I highly recommend Pazzaglia Law!

Pazzaglia attorneys were super helpful for me in all the car accidents that I've experienced. Even as silly as a random question they are always there for you and are super attentive. Recently I had an accident with a coyote and they help me out.

I consistently refer people to Pazz Injury Law and I have for 8 years. Dave Pazzaglia is a fantastic Attorney and routinely treats the people I refer to him with extreme due diligence, respect and clearly educates them to the legal process and what they should be concerned with as they navigate the process, usually at a very emotional time.

We are extremely pleased with the services we received. Our unfortunate car accident came at one of the most challenging times in our lives, and the Pazz family took the time to listen to our needs and relieve us of additional stress. I highly recommend this firm if you are in need of services with dignity, respect, and as little stress as possible.

This year, I have had an injury take place at work where I have injured my right knee. I injured my right knee by having another employee hit me from the back while I was on a tugger and slammed my knee on a metal plate. After reporting the incident, I then contacted Pazz Injury Law, and they were able to provide me with the help seeking physical therapy, making sure I was going to my weekly doctor appointments , and any help I needed they were able to resolve. Thank you Pazz Law for your services. I highly recommend you contact them cause they are the best ! Thank you again!

Their professionalism, communication, and dedication gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process.

My son was involved in an accident where he was rear-ended. He sustained upper body injuries. The attorneys worked hard to help him get bills paid as well as have other needs met. They are a great law firm. We would highly recommend them. I appreciate all you did to help. Thank you
Mr. P has been such a pleasure to work with. I hurt my wrist and shoulder in a fall. From the moment I contacted them up until the end himself and his team were amazing. They made getting the right care super easy and had some great doctor recommendations in my area. I never once had to fight getting the care I needed. I hope I don’t ever get hurt again but if I do and need a lawyer I’m calling Mr. P. I also have to share Dave has a really good heart too. I shared some struggles going on in my own life with fertility things and he took a moment to empathize and understood what I was saying. I do appreciate that. Thank you and your team for everything.
