West Hartford, Connecticut Catastrophic Work Injury Lawyer Kenneth B. Katz

Construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other job sites present dangerous conditions to workers on a daily basis. Although catastrophic and life-threatening injuries become a reality for injured workers every day, it is never easy when it happens to you or one of your family members.

The Law Offices of Kenneth B. Katz can provide you with the answers and assistance you need to obtain rightful workers' compensation benefits and additional compensation following a life-threatening brain injury or other on-the-job injury.

Smart Advice and Skilled Representation in Connecticut

Contact us today, in West Hartford, Connecticut for a free initial consultation.

Our law firm has provided effective legal advice and representation to injured workers in Connecticut since 1985. We have developed a high level of knowledge and understanding of the medical treatment and other issues our clients face after a catastrophic injury on the job. We have the experience to handle personal injury and workers' compensation claims involving all types of life-threatening workplace injuries, such as:

  • Brain injuries, including skull fractures, brain hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain), cerebral contusions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and closed head injuries. We also handle cases involving fatal brain injuries that result from unrelieved pressure on the brain.
  • Heart conditions and heart attacks related to repetitive stress on the job. Because these injuries and conditions are known risks to police officers, corrections officers, and firefighters, specific workers' compensation laws provide for the coverage of these occupational conditions.
  • Pulmonary or respiratory injuries, such as mesothelioma (a type of lung cancer), smoke inhalation injuries or other occupational diseases caused by asbestos exposure or other toxic chemical exposure
  • Catastrophic burn injuries, such as third degree burns, can require skin grafts, physical therapy, and other medical treatment. Permanent scarring, infection, limited use of the affected area, and other challenges are a lifetime concern for burn injury survivors.
  • Spinal cord injury, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia

We also are experienced handling work injury claims involving contagious or infectious disease, patients in a coma, and other life-altering injuries or medical conditions.

When you have been injured and can't work, all is not lost. We can help you deal with the financial impact of a catastrophic workplace injury and help you recover the workers' compensation benefits and third party compensation you are entitled to. Contact us, in West Hartford, Connecticut, to schedule an appointment with a skilled workers' compensation lawyer.

We offer a free initial consultation with an experienced attorney to all prospective clients. In addition, we handle all workers' comp and personal injury cases on a contingency basis - you pay no attorney's fees unless we recover for you.
