Emily Yamamoto

Emily Yamamoto works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Connecticut. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Emily Yamamoto handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Connecticut, including Permanent Disability, Workers Comp Settlements, Vocational Rehabilitation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Connecticut, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Emily immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Emily Yamamoto's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 26 years of experience in Connecticut workers' comp law, Emily knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Emily Yamamoto primarily serves clients in West Hartford and the surrounding Connecticut area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Connecticut and were injured at work, contact Emily's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
