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.

A Connecticut woman suffered a serious lower-extremity injury when another vehicle entered her path at an intersection and caused a significant collision after failing to yield the right of way. Her injuries required emergency surgery, hospitalization, inpatient rehabilitation, home healthcare, and months of physical therapy.

D’Amico Pettinicchi developed evidence concerning the severity of the injury, the client’s extended recovery, permanent impairment, future medical needs, and the lasting effect the collision had on her mobility and everyday life activities.

As the case approached trial, the firm conducted focus-group presentations to hone the presentation to a jury. D’Amico Pettinicchi ultimately secured a $900,000 settlement shortly before trial.
