Rear-End Car Accident

Our client, a 55-year-old man driving from O’Hare Airport to Indiana to care for his ailing father and was stopped in traffic on southbound Interstate 294 when the defendant was traveling too fast for conditions and slammed into the back of his car. The impact pushed our client’s vehicle under the semi-trailer truck in front of him. Our client was a business analyst who sustained a closed head injury, concussion, post-concussion syndrome, neck and back injuries, and a right thumb injury requiring surgery and eventual surgical joint replacement with extensive physical therapy. The case settled after trial for the Defendant’s policy limits of $1,250,000.
