Notable Cases
$15,000,000 Verdict - Sexual and School Abuse
The civil jury found the defendant, the Board of Education of J. Sterling Morton High School District 201, liable for willful and wanton conduct in failing to protect the student from grooming and repeated sexual abuse by a female teacher and awarded the plaintiff $15 million.
$6,000,000 Settlement - Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death
Assisted Partner Joseph E. Kolar in obtaining a $6 million settlement for a patient who died at a Chicago-area hospital. The patient died less than a week after heart surgery. The patient’s family alleged that the heart surgery was unnecessarily delayed for more than three months. The three-month delay, according to Kolar, led to the patient declining from stable condition to cardiogenic shock before the surgery.
