Choosing a Provider for AIG Workers' Compensation in Connecticut
When a Connecticut employee files a workers' compensation claim with AIG, the insurer will typically assign a claims representative or a third‑party administrator. To ensure timely processing, start by confirming the representative's contact details on the AIG website or through the employee portal. If the claim is managed by an external provider, verify that the provider is licensed in Connecticut and has experience with AIG's claim handling protocols.
