$12.5 MILLION Wrongful Death
An unarmed 23-year-old African American man was shot and killed by an off-duty Chicago Police officer at a CTA train station. The officer was trying to break up a fist fight that did not involve the decedent. The officer admitted in his deposition that the shooting was not justified and the case proceeded to trial on damages only after the City of Chicago admitted its liability.
$8 MILLION Medical Malpractice
A 69-year-old woman was seen by her internist on several occasions over a three-month span. During each visit, the patient’s blood pressure was significantly elevated. However, the internist did not diagnose hypertension and did not prescribe any medications to lower her blood pressure. Consequently, the patient suffered a massive hypertensive hemorrhagic stroke which left her permanently disabled requiring 24-hour assistance.
$7.1 MILLION Premises Liability
A 19-year-old man was shot in the neck while dining at an Arby's restaurant in Elmhurst, resulting in quadriplegia. The restaurant franchisee was found liable due to lack of training for employees, permitting loitering in the restaurant, and failure to notify police of incidents which had occurred on the day of and the day before the shooting.
