D'Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers When It’s Time To Fight The Good Fight, we’re in your corner. D’Amico Pettinicchi — Connecticut’s Good Fight Lawyers. Watertown, CT That still drives us today.

For 35 years, we’ve represented people across Connecticut whose lives were changed by negligence: a serious car crash, a fatal medical error, a loved one harmed in a nursing home. Our mission is to help people rebuild their lives, get the care they need, and receive full compensation for what they’ve lost. We stand with individuals and families — and we fight the good fight. Founded in 1990 by Mik

e D’Amico and Tom Pettinicchi, we built our firm on a simple principle: every client deserves a lawyer who will go all in. With Jeremy D’Amico, Christine Norton, and a dedicated team of paralegals and trial professionals, we deliver fierce, focused advocacy and real results. We handle:
• Car, truck, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents
• Dog bites
• Medical malpractice — including birth injuries, misdiagnosis, surgical, medication, and hospital errors
• Nursing home abuse — including bedsores, choking, delayed diagnosis, falls, fractures, and medication errors
• Fall injuries and premises liability
• Wrongful death

We were early pioneers in Connecticut’s nursing home litigation. While others saw small, difficult cases, we saw suffering — and the need for justice. We’ve led the fight against elder neglect, trained other lawyers, and helped raise care standards statewide. At D’Amico, every case is personal. We prepare like it’s going to trial, testing arguments in our in-house mock courtroom in Watertown. We listen, we plan, and we leave nothing to chance. We’ve secured many multimillion-dollar results, including a $23 million jury verdict for a boy with autism injured in a bus crash — one of the largest injury verdicts in Connecticut history. Lawyers often refer their toughest cases to us because they know we deliver. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, we’re ready to help. D’Amico Pettinicchi — The Good Fight Lawyers. To us, it’s not just a case. It’s your life.

Uncovering whether a nursing home fall was truly an accident takes a closer look than most families realize.

Was the resident properly supervised? Was fall risk properly assessed? Was a fall-risk care plan in place and followed? Were there prior falls and were interventions initiated to prevent future falls? Was staff response time adequate? Was there enough staff to care for the residents?

These are some of the questions that separate an unavoidable accident from a preventable one.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a Connecticut nursing home, or suffered harm at the hands of a medical professional, our team can help you find out what really happened.

We believe that informed families make stronger decisions. When it comes to nursing home safety, understanding why falls happen is the first step in protecting your loved ones. In our experience investigating these cases, these are some of the most common, preventable scenarios that put residents at risk:

➡️ Call bells go unanswered, and a resident attempts to transfer alone
➡️ A resident who requires assistance is left unsupervised in the bathroom or shower
➡️ Inadequate staffing or rushed routines lead to unsafe transfers
➡️ A fall-risk care plan exists, but isn’t followed consistently
➡️ Medication changes increase dizziness or sedation without appropriate monitoring
➡️ Poor housekeeping or maintenance creates hazards (wet floors, clutter, inadequate lighting)
➡️ Lack of appropriate mobility aids (walker, wheelchair) or failure to ensure they’re within reach

When a facility cuts corners or ignores a care plan, a fall isn't just an accident, it is a failure of accountability. If you suspect a loved one's injury was entirely preventable, our team is here to help you understand what happened. Contact D’Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers today.

Thank you, Lisa! This means so much to us. Nursing home cases involve some of the most sensitive, high-stakes decisions a family will ever make, and we know how much clarity matters at every step. We're grateful we could help your family get the resolution you deserved, and we'll always keep that same transparency at the center of how we work.

Some falls really are accidents. But in Connecticut nursing homes, many falls trace back to something preventable — a missed supervision check, a care plan that wasn't followed, a slow staff response, a medication side effect, or a hazard that should have been fixed.

Roughly 16–27% of nursing home falls nationally are linked to environmental hazards alone — things like poor lighting or wet floors. (Stat — flag for Jeremy: CDC/AHRQ range)

Patterns, documentation, and facility practices usually tell the real story. Our team investigates each one closely, because your family deserves to know what actually happened.

When a loved one falls in a nursing home, the healing process doesn't always follow a straight line. A single fall can mean a longer recovery, a new injury layered on top of an existing one, or a permanent loss of mobility a family wasn't prepared for.

In Connecticut, older adults are hospitalized for fall-related injuries thousands of times each year — and federal investigators have found that a significant share of serious nursing home falls never even make it into a facility's official records.

If a facility's neglect, understaffing, or ignored care plan played a role, you have the right to ask questions — and we're ready to help you get answers.
