More Than $980,000 Settlement

Commercial Vehicle Collision / Permanent Hearing Loss

A 30-year-old Connecticut woman suffered serious and permanent injuries when a commercial vehicle crossed into her lane and struck her vehicle head-on. Among her most significant injuries were bilateral hearing loss and chronic tinnitus, along with cervical injuries, recurring headaches, and migraines.

D’Amico Pettinicchi developed medical and expert evidence establishing the connection between the collision and the client’s hearing injuries, including symptoms that were not outwardly visible but had a substantial impact on her concentration, comfort, daily activities, and quality of life. The case also required careful analysis of medical causation and competing health issues to demonstrate the permanent effects of the crash.

The firm investigated all available sources of recovery while continuing to prepare the case for trial and developing evidence concerning the client’s long-term medical needs and damages.

D’Amico Pettinicchi ultimately secured a settlement of more than $980,000, representing the full available liability coverage and providing compensation for the client’s permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, medical treatment, pain and suffering, and the lasting impact of the collision on her life.

In 2022, my life changed in a matter of seconds. I was mauled and dragged by a dog that trespassed onto my property and attacked me and my two dogs. I was in complete shock. I didn’t know what to do, who to call, or how to even process what had just happened. I felt terrified, cornered, and completely alone. When I started reaching out to lawyers, most didn’t truly listen. Some rushed the conversation, some minimized what happened, and some just didn’t seem to understand the trauma of being attacked in your own home. Then I spoke with Stacy. She understood immediately — not just the legal side, but the shock, fear, and emotional aftermath. That moment mattered more than I can put into words. From that point forward, Tom Pettinichi, Stacy Crochet, and Sam were there for me in a way I will never forget. From 2022 on, they walked with me through every doctor visit, every appointment, every setback, and every hard day. When I felt broken, overwhelmed, or completely alone, they did not disappear. They showed up. My case was complex. My injuries were not simple or “textbook.” I suffered lasting physical injuries, PTSD, and the devastating loss of my dog. Despite the emotional weight of this case and how long it took, they never gave up on me. They did not push me into a quick settlement just to move on. They fought — for every dollar, every detail, and every moment of accountability. I truly believe most attorneys would have walked away from my case or settled at the first offer. Tom and his team did the opposite. They prepared my case as if it were going to trial, leaving no holes, no shortcuts, and no excuses. For four and a half years, they kept me informed, supported, and treated me like a human being — not just a case file. When I felt like there was no hope left for me, they reminded me that I had rights, that what happened to me mattered, and that I deserved justice. I will forever be grateful to Tom Pettinichi, Stacy Crochet, and Sam. If you are suffering after a personal injury — especially if you are traumatized, grieving, or feel like no one is listening — this is the team that will stand with you when you need it most.

I had an incredible experience working with Attorney Michael Damico and his paralegal, Stacy. From start to finish, the entire team was exceptionally organized and professional. They kept me well-informed throughout every step of the process, which gave me so much peace of mind. I felt truly supported and valued as a client. If you are looking for a legal team that is diligent, communicative, and truly cares about their clients, I cannot recommend them enough!

I can’t recommend D’Amico and Pettinicchi Law Firm enough. From the very beginning, they were responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in my case. They explained every step clearly, answered all of my questions promptly, and made a stressful situation feel manageable. My car accident left me with a life long injury that isn’t noticeable to the naked eye. I was nervous to even ask someone to take my case but they didn’t hesitate. Attorney Jeremy D’Amico believed in me, he reassured me that I had the confidence and capability to be able to articulate my injuries to others and in doing so the outcome greatly exceeded my expectations. I’m incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication from him and his team. If you need someone knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly on your side, don’t wait any longer to give them a call!

Amy Cromwell

Attorney Pettinicchi and paralegal Stacy were wonderful to work with. I had a complex and severe multiple-dog attack case. It took over 3 years to get to resolution, but we did! From Day 1 when Stacy came to my house to take photos and interview me, through multiple preparations with Attorney Pettinicchi, they were amazing. Attorney Pettinicchi knew how to explain things in a way that a lay person could understand. They even conducted a focus group at their law firm as the case had some unique characteristics. They went above and beyond. Let's hope you never need a personal injury attorney, but if you do...use this firm!

Mike Tompkins

I was referred to Attorney Mike D’Amico by my uncle after getting into a car accident, and I could not be happier with the outcome. Mike really went above and beyond to make things right for me, which I am incredibly grateful for. He took the time to fully understand all the details of my case and was very thorough and patient in guiding me through the process. He made sure I always understood what was going on, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about my situation and the outcome. The team here is extremely professional, compassionate, and great at what they do. Stacy was a huge help and fantastic to work with on my case. She stayed on top of everything and was always prompt and easy to communicate with. The team took a huge weight off my shoulders, and I couldn’t be happier with what they made happen. I can’t thank them enough and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
