If you are in need of legal representation and value professionalism, expertise, and clear communication, James Harrington at Polito and Harrington is the attorney you can trust. My experience was not only satisfactory but surpassed my expectations, making the legal process smoother and more manageable. I am grateful for James's guidance and the overall excellent service provided by the firm.

One of the standout qualities of my experience was James's remarkable responsiveness. Communication is key in any legal situation, and James exceeded my expectations in this regard. Whether it was through email or text, James consistently provided quick and thorough responses to my inquiries. His promptness not only helped to alleviate any concerns or uncertainties I had but also showcased his commitment to ensuring his clients feel supported and informed. He truly was there to hold my hand and walked me through the entire process. I apologized too many times to him for all of my questions, but he was more than happy to answer them for me.

I had another legal matter that I needed assistance with, unfortunately, James didn't handle this type of law but he referred me to another attorney and had given that attorney a full breakdown of my new situation. You want an attorney like James   in your corner. If you do, you'll have have the best chances of getting that KO.

Common Car Accident Injuries in Connecticut

Serious and even catastrophic injuries are often the outcome for far too many involved in Connecticut car accidents. In such cases, there is no dollar figure certain to fully compensate victims for all that has been lost. Yet, substantial financial resources can ease the unexpected burdens produced by harm, including:

• Spinal cord damage
• Paralysis
• Broken bones
• Herniated discs
• Scarring
• Whiplash
• Concussion
• Back and neck injuries
• Skin burns and resulting disfigurement
• Limb amputations due to nerve damage
• Injuries to vital internal organs
• Traumatic brain injury/lasting cognitive impairment
• Torn ligaments
• Internal bleeding
• Death

A motor vehicle accident can incur massive losses in the form of mounting medical bills, lost wages, physical therapy, and rehabilitation expenses. Financial losses also stem from necessary accessibility modifications to the home, property damage, limited future earning capacity, and more. In addition, you may be eligible to receive compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. 

Given this stark reality, it is essential for those involved in serious car accidents to pursue the full amount of compensation available to them under state law.
