Carter & Civitello concentrates on workers' compensation, Social Security disability, and personal injury law cases in Connecticut. Our professional abilities are founded on extensive and quality education and on many years of successful practice in our areas of concentration. Lawyers from our firm have been selected for membership in The Best Lawyers in America,* The Bar Register for Preeminent Lawyers** and Outstanding Lawyers in America***. We have represented thousands of people with severe physical injuries and occupational diseases.

We represent all types of injured workers with workplace injuries or diseases. We help them obtain medical care and compensation for their lost wages, medical bills and permanent injuries. We obtain settlements for injured workers who have an injury at work or have contracted an occupational disease.

We have represented almost every type of working person, including construction workers, nurses, doctors and health care workers, police officers, chemists, teachers, electricians, waitresses, cooks, firefighters, EMT's, ironworkers, steelworkers, operating engineers, and state and municipal workers injured on the job, and their families when death has resulted. We have even represented lawyers hurt at work. We have experience in a very wide range of cases, including brain injuries, brain, lung, and throat cancer, amputations, lung diseases of all sorts, rare infectious diseases, chemical poisonings, heart attacks, repetitive motion and carpal tunnel conditions, and traumatic injuries to every part of the body. We have experience in heart and hypertension cases under the special laws for police officers and firefighters. We have also represented truck drivers, sales representatives, and many other workers and professionals who have had motor vehicle accidents while working.

Many of our clients have been injured through the wrongful conduct or negligence of others. We represent victims of automobile and motorcycle accidents and fall downs. We have represented many workers injured by dangerous or defective products or at dangerous construction sites.

We understand that following a serious personal injury our clients face not only physical pain and disability, but often dramatic financial pressures caused by medical bills, lost time from work, and permanent injuries. We help our clients with these problems by making sure medical bills are paid by the responsible insurance companies, and in the long term by securing just compensation for the losses suffered by our clients and their families.

We have an excellent record in both settling cases outside of court and in the trial of cases when the insurance company refuses to settle.   Your case will be decided on its facts and the laws that apply; under the rules of ethics, however, we cannot imply that our past success will result in your winning your case.

Our attorneys are experienced in obtaining Federal Social Security Disability benefits for clients who because of illness or injury can no longer work. We represent clients before the Social Security Administration at all stages of the process, including hearings before Social Security Judges and appeals from adverse decisions by judges. Generally, our fees are paid on a contingency basis; we receive a percentage of the back due benefits in cases where we are successful.

We also represent people with claims for benefits under private disability insurance policies and with claims for disability retirement benefits.
