The time limit for filing a workers' compensation claim in Connecticut is one year from the date of injury or the date the employee knew or should have known that the injury was work-related. In case of occupational diseases, the time limit is one year from the date the employee knew or should have known the disease was caused by their work.
Employees who fail to file their claim within the one-year time limit may have their claim dismissed, unless they can show that they had good cause for not filing on time.
