Rotatori Law Firm Procures Workers Compensation Case Resulting Into A $710,000.00 Award

The Rotatori Law Firm, based in Southbury, Connecticut, was actively involved in a workers compensation case which resulted into a $710,000.00 award, according to the law firm's website, www.therotatorilawfirm.com.

The case's claimant was a janitor living in Groton, who sustained a hand injury while using the men's bathroom at the University of Connecticut in Avery Point. The custodial janitor's hand was jammed when a student pushed the bathroom door open, which led to the claimant developing Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. The client also developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome to his right upper extremity. The injury allowed the janitor to qualify for Social Security Disability.

The Rotatori Law Firm had worked on the claimant's case for several years before the Bridgeport Workers Compensation District awarded the client with a high-dollar amount by way of stipulation. The janitor was awarded by the Connecticut Workers Compensation Commission in excess of $710,000.00, a stipulation made possible by Peter Rotatori III and his team at The Rotatori Law Firm.

Rotatori believes that every worker has the right to proper compensation upon suffering personal injury. "Our office has seen this from time to time--a minor injury happening at first glance before blowing up into a serious medical condition," Rotatori was quoted saying. "The claimant in our case was smart; he secured counsel. We filed the necessary notice timely and attended many hearings on his behalf to secure that he received the proper workers compensation indemnity and medical benefits."

It took the law firm almost several years before the claimant received the stipulation, but it was well worth it. Many employees tend to overlook simple injuries that happen in the workplace, and the Rotatori Law Firm wants this fact to change. The law firm is dedicated to making sure that their clients are well-represented and well-informed about the necessary steps to take in an event of an employee sustaining personal injury. Rotatori asks employees to be aware and to take action. "Don't let prejudicial public opinion or fear of your employer stop you from exercising your legal rights to protect your workers compensation benefits."
