Welcome

The Workers’ Compensation Trust is a comprehensive workers’ compensation insurance program designed to meet the unique needs of the Connecticut healthcare industry. The Trust was formed in 1981 for the sole purpose of providing a cost-effective alternative to the traditional insurance market for healthcare employers in the State. As an Employer Mutual Association, the Trust has been able to return over $18,200,000 in premiums back to members as a result of our successful efforts in controlling the cost of workers’ compensation claims. All services, including claims administration, managed care and loss control, are provided from our convenient Wallingford location.
