Supreme Court of Connecticut

Martinoli v. Stamford Police Dept.

December 24, 2024350 Conn. 868

Summary

The court held that a claimant remains eligible for total incapacity benefits when a compensable workplace injury produces total incapacity after the claimant's voluntary retirement, even if the claimant does not intend to return to the workforce. Because the Appellate Court had not addressed the defendants' two alternative claims, the court reversed and remanded for consideration of those claims.
