Since 1993, Sousa Law, LLC has been a steadfast ally for Connecticut's municipal workers, from firefighters and sewer maintenance staff to custodians and teachers, who have endured workplace accidents. Our goal is to ensure these workers receive the necessary financial support and medical care for recovery from their injuries.

Securing Disability Pension and Workers’ Compensation Benefits

Under the leadership of managing lawyer Robert C. Sousa, our firm has become an essential legal resource for employees across various municipal departments, including sewage, public works, fire, police, and education. We've handled a wide range of injuries, including heart and hypertension issues, head and brain injuries, and back and neck injuries, understanding the severe and often long-term physical effects on our clients. Our commitment is to aid you in accessing immediate and future medical care.

Guidance on Rights and Benefits for Municipal Workers

If you've sustained a traumatic or repetitive work injury, it’s crucial to understand your rights and the benefits you might be eligible for. Our Waterbury municipal workplace accident attorney can guide you in securing a disability pension in addition to workers' compensation benefits. While the specifics may vary by municipality, many cities allow for concurrent receipt of both benefits.

Navigating Pension Board Claims Most municipalities use pension boards to decide on claims. We will collaborate with your municipality’s pension board, assist in completing applications accurately, and represent you during board proceedings.
