We recently settled a case for a 51-year-old man who was attempting to cross Western Avenue near the intersection of 71st Street when he was struck by a speeding motorist. He was transported by ambulance to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Upon seeing a doctor, he was diagnosed with multiple abrasions as well as a fractured leg. Injuries that come about from pedestrians hit by a car can be severe. The man underwent surgery to set his broken bones.

The motorist who struck the man was insured under a $100,000.00 policy, and the person’s insurance company initially tried to argue that the motorist was not liable to our client because our client crossed the street in the middle of a block (instead of a crosswalk). Our lawyers were able to demonstrate through evidence we collected that the motorist was speeding at the time of the collision. The case ultimately settled for $100,000.00 prior to trial – the policy limit of the motorist and his insurance company.

A 32-year-old man was driving south on Keeler near the intersection of Irving Park Road in Chicago when another driver failed to stop at a red light and struck the man, who became a Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. client.

Our client sustained a tear in his right elbow, and as a result of the tear, he had to undergo a right elbow extensor tendon repair, a lateral collateral ligament repair, and a medial collateral ligament repair. Our client endured substantial restrictions to his lifestyle in the months following the accident and has sustained a permanent scar on his right elbow as a result of the surgical procedures.

On May 4, 2014, an intoxicated driver turned directly into the path of our client, a 55-year-old female, on Route 83 near Valley Road in Downers Grove, Illinois. Our client sustained multi-level injuries to her cervical spine. An MRI of our client’s cervical spine found broad based disc protrusions (herniations) at C4-5 and C6-7, which caused intense pain and radiculopathy due to the compression on her nerves.

Despite the other driver who caused the accident pleading guilty in traffic court to the offense of reckless driving, his insurance company failed to offer a reasonable settlement amount. As such, the lawyers at Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. filed a lawsuit on behalf of our client in the Circuit Court of DuPage County. We were able to convince the judge assigned to the case to grant us the ability to ask for punitive damages at a jury trial due to the defendant’s willful and wanton reckless conduct in driving while under the influence of alcohol. After lengthy negotiations, we were able to convince the insurance company to pay $100,000.00 dollars to settle the case, which was the maximum amount of their insurance policy.
