According to court filings by Koskoff attorney Chris Mattei, Stamford Hospital allegedly failed to follow appropriate protocols for the care of a psychiatric patient and during a period of lapses in care the patient was then able to seriously injure herself, resulting in blindness. The level of neglect to a vulnerable patient that allowed this incident to occur is unacceptable and and we will fight to bring justice for her and her family.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Anthony "Tony" Jannotta, a respected Connecticut attorney, public servant, husband, and father whose life and career were cut short after an alleged delayed cancer diagnosis.

The suit, filed against Yale New Haven Health and a joint medical group, alleges that warning signs of urinary cancer were not properly investigated. The complaint details how, with the delayed diagnosis, Jannotta was unable pursue potentially life-saving treatment and that he then suffered a rapid and painful decline before his passing in 2025. “He knew until the very end that his death was avoidable and should have been prevented,” Attorney Sarah Steinfeld wrote in the complaint.

His loss has left a profound impact on his family, friends, colleagues, and the Connecticut legal community. Through this lawsuit, the family is seeking accountability while bringing awareness to the importance of timely diagnosis. They hope this action helps prevent other families from enduring a similar tragedy.
