Supreme Court of Connecticut

Carter v. Town of Clinton

May 1, 2012304 Conn. 571

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiff’s claim for heart and hypertension benefits because his notice of claim was untimely and he failed to establish that the medical care exception tolled the limitations period. Although a claimant need not prove employment causation to receive statutory heart and hypertension benefits, he must satisfy the notice requirements, including the requirements for invoking the medical care exception.
