Workplace injuries often involve third parties beyond your employer or coworkers. If your injury resulted from malfunctioning equipment, chemical burns, toxic inhalation, a traffic accident while on duty, or dangerous construction equipment, you have the right to pursue legal action separate from a workers’ compensation claim.

Since 1993, Sousa Law, LLC, has been vigorously handling third-party liability claims for Connecticut workers, including UPS drivers, construction workers, police officers, and firefighters.

Exploring Beyond Workers' Compensation Benefits

It's important to know that your recourse isn't limited to workers' compensation if your injury was caused by an external party. Third-party liability claims, a form of personal injury claim, can provide comprehensive financial support, including for pain and suffering endured, in addition to the immediate medical benefits from workers' compensation.

Attorney Robert C. Sousa has a wealth of experience helping workers, from various professions, secure the compensation necessary for a full recovery from work-related injuries. This includes cases involving heart and hypertension issues, back, neck, and knee injuries.

Understanding Your Legal Rights and Options

We will collaborate with you to understand the specifics of your injury and inform you about your legal rights under Connecticut’s workers’ compensation laws. Consulting with our lawyers promptly can be crucial to your case.

Contingency Fee Basis for Third-Party Liability Claims

Our cases involving third-party liability claims operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only charge attorneys’ fees if we successfully recover damages for you in a settlement or verdict. Studies have shown that working with an attorney can significantly increase the compensation received in such cases.
