Legal Question in Workers Comp in Connecticut

injured knee, on worker's comp, can i sue?

I hurt my knee at work apx. 9 months ago. They approved the surgery a few weeks ago, and I just had the surgery a couple days ago. The doctor says I may have permanent damage, because I didn't get the operation soon enough. Can I go after worker's comp? or do I have to go through the insurance company providing the worker's comp.?

This would be a part of your WC case and the WC carrier is responsible for whatever permamancy rating you receive. Feel free to call me in West Hartford. I have been doing wc law for 20 years and am a Boart Cerrtified WC Specialist.
