$5.1 million verdict against the City of Chicago as the result of a police chase.

This case set the record high for a police pursuit verdict.
___________ v. __________: $5.5 million settlement against a hospital which employed a nurse. Our client had undergone surgery, including placement of a Swan Ganz catheter. The catheter was removed inappropriately by a nurse and the client sustained an air embolus. Two lawyers turned the case down, as did our first three medical experts. We were able to prove the case with the use of circumstantial evidence, applicable medical literature and top-notch expert testimony from one of the nation’s leading neurologists.
