Bridgeport Business Owner Charged with Failure to Provide Workers’ Compensation Insurance Coverage

(Rocky Hill, CT) – The owner of a Bridgeport business has been arrested and charged with failing to provide the required workers’ compensation insurance coverage for employees.

Dave Benbow age 54, of Bridgeport, was arrested on August 21, 2026 by Inspectors from the Workers’ Compensation Fraud Control Unit in the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney and charged with one count of Noncompliance with Insurance Requirements, in violation of Connecticut General Statutes § 31-288(f)/53a-11.

An investigation showed that the defendant’s company, All-Pro Abatement LLC, did not have a valid workers’ compensation insurance policy at the time of a workplace accident in West Haven, in which an All-Pro employee was injured. The defendant surrendered himself at the Rocky Hill Police Department, where he was released on a $5,000 non-surety bond. He is scheduled to appear at Milford Superior Court, Geographical Area No. 22, on August 31, 2026. The charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

Noncompliance with Insurance Requirements is a class D felony, punishable by one to five years of imprisonment and up to a $5,000.00 fine.

The case will be prosecuted by the Workers’ Compensation Fraud Control Unit in the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney.
