CRB Case Annotations re: Section 52-572r
Product liability claims against third parties.
Employer has no right to an offset or credit against any third party product liability action where date of injury occurred when § 52-572r(c) was in effect i.e., between October 1, 1979 and July 1, 1993. See also, Sellew, § 31-275(15), § 31-294c and § 31-310.
Kramptez v. Uniroyal Chemical, 11 Conn. Workers’ Comp. Rev. Op. 293, 1367 CRD-5-92-1 (December 8, 1993).
CRB affirmed trier’s finding that decedent’s date of injury of December 7, 1981 controls whether § 52-572r applies. (Note § 52-572r(c) was in effect from October 1, 1979 through July 1, 1993). As § 52-572r applies and § 31-293 does not, respondent employer had no right to an offset against any third party product liability recovery. See also, Kramptez, § 31-293.
