Supreme Court of Connecticut

Peter Gould v. City of Stamford

April 2, 2019331 Conn. 289

Summary

The court held that a member of a single-member limited liability company may qualify as the company's employee under the Workers' Compensation Act without the company first electing coverage. It further held that the plaintiff was Intervale's employee because he provided services to the company and was exposed to the hazards of its business, making him eligible for concurrent-employment benefits. The court reversed the board's decision and remanded with instructions to grant the claim.
