CONSTRUCTION & WORKSITE INJURIES
Construction injuries often occur at locations where there is more than one contractor involved. Depending on the respective roles or scopes of work and the degree of control exercised over a project, the different contractors at a site may have varying degrees of responsibility for a particular incident or injury. Properly identifying the contributing worksite safety hazards and the worksite safety obligations of each contractor is crucial to proving liability in any construction or worksite injury case. The attorneys at the Carrano Law Firm handle both commercial and residential construction site and worksite injury claims.
TRIPS, SLIPS, FALLS & PREMISES LIABILITY INJURIES
Too often people are seriously injured by hazardous conditions that exist on property controlled by someone else. Defective stairs, unmarked steps, defective railings, slippery floors, icy walkways or parking lots, and broken or uneven walking surfaces are just a few examples. In most cases, particularly those involving commercial properties, there may be multiple parties responsible for the hazardous area. Therefore, it is important to have these matters investigated quickly so that all of the responsible parties can be identified within the appropriate time.

DOG BITES & OTHER INJURIES CAUSED BY DOGS & ANIMALS
Dog attacks can be horrific and life altering, often times leaving the victim with permanent scarring or disfigurement. Connecticut law holds the owner or keeper of a dog liable for injuries and damages caused by the owner or keeper’s dog so long as the injured victim was not trespassing or teasing or tormenting the dog. While often referred to as the “dog bite” statute, Connecticut law holds the owner or keeper of a dog liable for all damages caused by the dog whether the damages are caused by a “bite” or some other form of behavior which results in injury. The Carrano Law Firm has been successfully representing victims of dog attacks and other dog-related injuries for decades.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
If you were injured during the course of your employment, you are entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits. Through the workers' compensation system, an injured employee can pursue payment of medical expenses, wage replacement benefits, compensation for a permanent disability, and possibly other benefits such as job re-training depending on the circumstances. You are not required to prove fault in order to be eligible to receive workers' compensation benefits. Employers and their workers' compensation insurance companies often dispute the extent of the work-related injuries and the nature and extent of the benefits that should be paid to the injured worker. An attorney can help you obtain the benefits that you are entitled to and minimize the stress associated with the claim process
