Case Details

The court ruled in Harpaz that an employer who fails to contest a workers’ comp claim in a timely manner or begin paying benefits within 28 days of receiving a notice of claim may not, for the life of the claim, contest the compensability of the injured worker’s disability.

Additional Notes

Attorney Philip F. Spillane successfully argued this case to the Connecticut Supreme Court, setting a statewide precedent regarding injured workers’ rights when the employer fails to properly contest the claim.
