$800,000 settlement in personal injury case
Matt Williams and Patrick Salvi II of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C. secured an $800,000 settlement on behalf of their client on January 26, 2011. The Plaintiff was riding his bicycle in a marked bicycle lane on the Northside of Chicago in October of 2007. The driver of a parked vehicle on the right-hand side opened his door into the Plaintiff, forcing him into traffic. The Plaintiff was struck by a van, sustaining serious and life-threatening injuries. The Plaintiff had a 4-week stay the hospital for multiple rib fractures, two fractures in his spine, scapula fracture, and ankle fracture. The Plaintiff has since made a good recovery with the exception of ongoing ankle problems due to post-traumatic arthritis.
“We are very happy that the wrongdoers in this case stepped up to the plate and compensated our client for his injuries,” said Patrick Salvi II. “Our client spent significant time in an induced coma due to terrible injuries from this crash. He had a mountain of medical bills. The settlement allows those medical bills to be paid and fairly compensates the client for all the pain he has endured and will endure into the future.”
