Workers Compensation establishes the liability of an employer for injuries or sicknesses which arise out of and in the course of employment. The liability is created without regard to the fault or negligence of the employer. Benefits generally include hospital and other medical payments and compensation for loss of income; if the injury is covered by the statute, compensation under the statute will be the employees only remedy against her or her employer. The workers compensation systems in place in each state are exclusive, no-fault remedies for most workplace injuries, and workers compensation attorneys guide injured workers through the process, to ensure that they receive appropriate income replacement payments and other monetary awards.
Georgetown is a village and census-designated place in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States. It is located at the point where the towns of Wilton, Redding, and Weston meet. The central portion of the village is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places as a historic district, the Georgetown Historic District. While the village of Georgetown in 1986 extended into four towns (Wilton, Redding, Ridgefield, and Weston), the district includes portions of just two: Redding and Wilton. The village and its surrounding area was also defined as a census-designated place (CDP) in the 2000 U.S. Census. At that time, the population of the CDP was 1,650. Georgetown is located at the southwest corner of the town of Redding, the northwest corner of the town of Weston, and the northeast corner of the town of Wilton. Georgetown residents officially live in and pay local taxes to one of these three towns, but typically identify themselves as living in Georgetown. Georgetown has its own fire district, which also serves the surrounding rural areas not traditionally included in Georgetown, and its own ZIP code (06829).
