Amodio vs. City of New Haven (New Haven Superior Court – filed June 24, 2016) It began one summer evening in New Haven as the plaintiff, a 55-year-old resident of West Haven, was traveling down James Street on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. Suddenly and without warning he was violently struck by a Fire Truck attempting to cut into his lane and was forcefully thrown into the air upon impact. The list of injuries he sustained, some permanent, is extensive and include a fractured pelvis, spine, neck, kneecap, femur, multiple ribs, dislocated knees, herniated disc, subdural hemorrhages, large bodily wounds to extremities and head, and neurological and urological injury. Almost two years after this horrific collision, the plaintiff struggles daily with painful reminders and physical suffering as he tries to piece his life back together. He has and will continue to expend large sums of money for medical treatment, hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, medical apparatus, supplies and therapy.
