LITCHFIELD CAVO represents clients in all types of Workers’ Compensation matters before Workers’ Compensation Commissions and Boards. Our attorneys can handle all of our client’s workers’ compensation needs from our seven Midwest and East Coast offices. LITCHFIELD CAVO also handles matters related to the scope of coverage afforded under Part I and Part II of Workers’ Compensation policies and retrospective premiums issues.

LITCHFIELD CAVO represents both insured and self-insured employers in the business and non-profit sectors. Our clients include:

• Successful trial and defense of case establishing the precedent that an injured employee who is terminated for cause while working in a light duty position is not entitled to temporary total disability benefits after the date of termination.
• Granted dismissal of a claim by a participant in an alcohol rehabilitation program on the basis that the participant was not an “employee” under the Workers’ Compensation Act and therefore not entitled to benefits.
• Granted denial of benefits to an employee after trial establishing employee’s accidents did not occur as alleged. The case’s opinion states, “In order for the Worker’s Compensation system to function properly, it requires that all persons who come to Court and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth must actually do so. Here the only evidence of an “accident” at work is the petitioner’s testimony. However, the petitioner has been so severely impeached that the Arbitrator therefore finds that none of his testimony is credible.” Our Workers’ Compensation litigators also regularly present seminars on various topics within Workers’ Compensation law including proper accident investigation, defenses available to an employer, and the interplay between the Workers’ Compensation and Occupational Diseases Acts.
