Sponsored by the Workers' Compensation Section
About the Program
Seminar for workers’ compensation practitioners to hone their legal skills and understanding of specific areas of the law. Attendees will learn about the objective diagnostic frameworks, emerging technological tools, and specific statutory mechanisms reshaping Connecticut workers' compensation practice. The seminar delivers an expert evaluation of cutting-edge diagnostic testing protocols for mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) claims, alongside a technical review of the operational execution of the state's Firefighter Cancer Relief Fund. Additionally, practitioners will analyze the mechanics of AI-mediated legal research, establishing precise parameters for how these tools can be ethically and efficiently integrated into statutory analysis and daily legal workflows.
The program further provides an actionable toolkit for optimizing claim valuation and resolving complex liability disputes. Industry experts will break down modern structured settlement architecture, specialized pharmacy coordination, and Medicare/post-settlement professional administration to streamline high-value resolutions. Finally, the curriculum concludes with a masterclass on upstream liability, dissecting the exact procedural and evidentiary requirements triggered when direct insurance collapses and the Second Injury Fund or principal employer doctrines under Connecticut law are engaged.
