Over 30 Years of Working for You

Our goal at Embry Neusner Arscott & Shafner is to provide sound advice and swiftly resolve those issues that impede your return to work.

We have attorneys on staff with a proven track record of fighting for injured workers, even at the legislative level. Our firm’s combined experience is unparalleled, particularly working with clients from Electric Boat and others seeking benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, a federal law that compensates employees of private waterfront employers.

The Workers’ Compensation Act in Connecticut was first enacted in 1913. Although there have been many changes over the years, the goal of the act remains to provide wage replacement and benefits, as well as medical treatment, for employees who have been injured, disabled or killed while performing their jobs.

Disputes often arise over the connection between an injury and work, when and how much benefits are owed, or if medical treatment options are reasonable or necessary. 

For those who will never reclaim their past ability to work, workers’ compensation offers ongoing assistance to injured workers and their families.
