The report, developed by an expert, is highly individualized and based upon research, analysis, published standards, and comprehensive assessment. This calculation takes the victim’s entire circumstance into account given the extent of the victim’s injury and their life expectancy. Life care plans can include medical bills and supplies, expenses for daily living, lost income, home modifications, orthotic or prosthetic needs, and transportation needs.

Connecticut Legislation, Public Act No. 18-69

On May 25, 2018, Public Act No. 18-69, an act concerning health insurance coverage for prosthetic devices, was approved. Prosthetics were previously classified as “durable medical equipment” similarly to canes, walkers and crutches. They were not considered medical necessities. After this bill passed, private insurance companies in Connecticut were required to cover high-tech prosthetics limbs. The law also mandates insurance companies to allow for repairs and replacements. This act would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of the Connecticut Amputee Network (CAN) founders, Herb Kolodny and Brenda Novak.

Connecticut Amputee Network (CAN)

Their Mission: “CAN advocates for the Connecticut limb loss and limb change community by taking action in three areas: legislative advocacy, education and organizational networking. “

Client Reviews of Our Personal Injury Attorneys

Friendly, professional and VERY responsive!

Attorney John Buckley was highly recommended to me by quite a few people and upon my first meeting to discuss my case, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. He took his time to explain everything to me in great detail and stayed in communication throughout my entire case. His staff was also extremely friendly, professional and VERY responsive! I actually never had to reach out about my case because they over-communicated with me from beginning to end. My accident was very unfortunate, but I’m extremely grateful I was working with Attorney Buckley through it all! I highly recommend this law firm!!!

Recently engaged BWP concerning a motor vehicle accident.

It was a very seamless, friendly relationship and a firm that I would highly recommend to anyone.

John Parese is the best!

Attorney Parese just finished a motor vehicle case for me. At the time of my accident, I was a 32 year vet of a police department and the accident forced me into retirement. I am just a working person who depends on attorneys like John to help people in need and they can trust. John Parese is the best.

It is clear that helping people is important to you

This is a very heartfelt thank you for all you did to help resolve my case. The accident and what followed was confusing and a bit overwhelming. However, the best thing to come of it was the recommendation to contact you. Your expertise as well as your down-to-earth and friendly manner immediately put me at ease. I greatly appreciated your willingness to go above and beyond (meeting and bringing paperwork to my house on a weekend after my surgery) and all the time you took to explain all aspects of the case. Your generosity in giving me some of your fee was also very much appreciated. It is clear that helping people is important to you, and I am grateful to have been of those you helped. Hopefully, I will never need to use your services again, but I will be sure to recommend you to others who do.

- Carrie

Parese listened carefully

John Parese listened carefully, we discussed options, he gave me his expert advice on where he thought we would end up and he went to work to attain the damages I was due. I received status calls and notifications along the way and received the settlement we were expecting. I never doubted John’s integrity and trusted being in his hands. I hope I don’t get rear ended again but if I do, I’ll call John right away.

- Joseph Schipani

From the moment I met Attorney Buckley, he put me at ease. At first, I was hesitant to contact an attorney after the car crash, yet after deciding to work with Buckley, Wynne & Parese, I was pleased that I did.
