A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord or the nerves attached to the spinal cord. Such an injury can result in permanent changes and loss of voluntary movement below the site of the injury. Symptoms include:
Spinal cord injuries can be either incomplete or complete. With the less severe “incomplete” injury, the spinal cord still sends messages to or from the brain, meaning you may still have some feeling and function below the injury site. A “complete” injury, on the other hand, means there is no nerve communication below the site of the injury, and function is lost.
Common causes of spinal cord injuries include:
Those between 16 and 30 or over the age of 65 are the most common sufferers of spinal cord injuries. No matter your age or the specific accident that led to your injury, when someone else’s careless actions cause you harm, our Waterbury spinal cord injury attorneys will help you take legal action.
If you’ve suffered a spinal cord injury, you don’t just need a lawyer. You need a team of lawyers who understand the complexities of Connecticut law—like the legal professionals at D’Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC. Our spinal cord injury lawyers in Waterbury know the value of acting quickly and efficiently and can help you gather the evidence you need to receive maximum compensation.
You do not want to wait to act. In Connecticut, you must file a claim with the court before the statutory deadline closes. In most cases, this deadline closes two or three years after the injury occurs. If this time has already passed, you should still reach out to our team to see if an exception to the deadline applies in your case.
When you or a loved one has suffered spinal cord damage, do not trust your insurance company alone to handle your injuries and medical expenses. You need an experienced attorney who will fight for your rights and your best interests. Our team of legal professionals can provide the support and guidance you need to rebuild your life.
