Innocent Victim Injured During a Police Chase

Late one evening after a hockey game, our client was driving home through the west side of Chicago. At the same time, unbeknownst to our client, a Merrionette Park Police Officer was pursuing a suspect into Chicago at high rates of speed in violation of police general orders. The fleeing suspect crashed into our client, resulting in his ejection from his vehicle and causing catastrophic injuries. The client suffered a closed head injury, facial and spinal fractures, and was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic. While the settlement will never fully restore our client to his pre-incident condition, the settlement funds have helped provide much-needed therapy for the rest of his life so he can continue to work and interact with his son despite his disabilities.
