Legal Question in Workers Comp in Connecticut
worker's compensation fee liabilty question
My husband filed a worker's compensation claim. I did not sign any paperwork at the time. If we end up losing the case and owe legal fees to the lawyer am I responsible for them? Will they only be able to look to my husband for the fees or to me as well? We had only been married for a few months when he originally filed the case with the lawyer. Thanks for your help.

Re: worker's compensation fee liabilty question
Your husband's lawyer is required to provide a written fee agreement governing the case. The fee agreement spells out who is responsible to pay any fee or cost. Your husband should have been given a copy of this agreement. If you never signed anything then you can't be pursued to pay any fee.
