About our Workers’ Compensation Department…

We are well versed in Worker’s Compensation laws and procedures.

Please understand that the Union is not notified when you are injured, nor do we know unless you tell us. If you have been injured on the job, contact our Workers Compensation Staff Representative Christine Carver at the Union office.  Christine can be reached at 860-343-8724 or 1-800-622-3359 x724 or via e-mail at ccarver@ceui.org and will assist you in receiving prompt payments and benefits.

It is most important that employees who are injured, or who suspect they have been injured or have contracted a disease on the job, take immediate steps to protect their rights and to ensure their claim is process properly.

If you are injured on the job, you should immediately:

1.  Notify your supervisor of the incident (and give the supervisor the names of any witnesses) at your

    first opportunity—don’t delay.

2.  Seek immediate medical treatment if time is of the essence or if it is an emergency. This is important to establish your claim. Don’t lapse in treatment for non-emergency. 

3.  Fill out an Accident Report—no matter if the injury is severe or minor, your injury needs to be document. You should ask for and read the report promptly to insure accuracy. 

4.  Your supervisor should call GAB Robins, who provides the Managed Care Program for the State of Connecticut Employees as well as the Claims Administration, and report the injury to them. 

5.  Your supervisor should send you for immediate medical treatment or diagnosis if not already done. 

6.  Be sure to check with your supervisor to make sure that the physician who will be treating you regarding your claim is in the Workers Compensation network. Insured workers can only be treated by physicians in the CT Workers’ Compensation network, who should have the necessary forms in their offices, needed for prompt processing through the Workers Comp system. Failure to seek medical treatment with a Workers’ Compensation network doctor(s) may cause delay in processing of your claim and denial of your benefits. 

7.  File a Form 30-C to substantiate your claim (CEUI has these forms). 

8.  You can check Article 38 of the NP-2 contract for further information on additional Workers’ Compensation benefits. 

9.  You should also notify your workplace steward of your injury and give them all of the information.  If you do not have a workplace steward, please contact your staff representative. 

Failure to seek medical treatment with a Workers' Compensation network doctor(s) may cause delay in processing of your claim and denial of your benefits.

Remember: We cannot help you, unless you call the union office to begin a file and let the Workers Comp. Rep's know that you were injured, and/or are having problems.
