Here are some examples of successful Illinois settlements for pedestrian accidents involving broken bones, all based here in Cook County:
- Binanti v. Waitkus – A motorist in a vehicle ran over the foot of a 32 year-old construction worker in a busy outdoor area of Cook County, resulting in a broken tibia. The motorist had been driving in a lane designated for construction. Because witnesses stated that the worker had entered the roadway just prior to the accident, the worker was found to be 49% at-fault for the accident but was still compensated $88,000 for his injuries.
- Henderson v. Mathews – A Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus driver struck a 39 year-old pedestrian who was waiting at an intersection, resulting in a broken tibia. The pedestrian, with the help of an attorney, successfully established the driver’s negligence, while the driver simply claimed that the pedestrian was exaggerating his injuries, and the pedestrian was awarded $101,000 for his injuries and pain and suffering.
- Douglas v. City of Chicago – In downtown Chicago, a 62 year-old man attempting to cross the street was struck by a police van making a left-hand turn, resulting in a broken and dislocated foot. The pedestrian argued that he had the right-of-way despite a broken crosswalk signal, while the defendants argued that the signal was working and the police van had the right-of-way. The jury ruled in favor of the pedestrian, awarding him $782,000 in compensation while holding the defendants 100% liable.
