Verdicts & Settlements

Notable Cases

MOTORCYCLE RIDER HIT BY TURNING SCHOOL BUS
$6,000,000-SETTLEMENT

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER SUFFERS INJURY FROM DEFECTIVE PREMISES
$4,900,000-VERDICT

When a Milwaukee Brewers’ minor league player was injured rehabilitating from “Tommy John” surgery due to a defective condition at the rehabilitation facility, Kelly Law Offices went to trial and obtained a $4.9 million dollar verdict after the defendants offered only $250,000 to settle the case.

MOTORCYCLE RIDER HIT BY TRUCK TURNING LEFT
$4,500,000-SETTLEMENT

A motorcyclist suffered a back injury requiring a thoracic fusion. He also suffered a facial fracture and mild traumatic brain injury. The client incurred $62,000 in paid medical bills, but no lost wages, as he was already on disability at the time of this crash. Where the lack of lost wages and relatively small amount of paid bills might be seen as negative issues for many lawyers, Kelly Law Offices filed suit in Cook County, IL and focused the case on brain injury and the pain caused by the back injury to show the impact this crash had on this man’s life. Kelly Law Offices obtained a $4.5m settlement for their client, making sure he never has to rely on public aide or worry about money for the rest of his life.

PLAINTIFF HIT IN LEG BY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE
$3,125,000-SETTLEMENT

$2,600,000-VERDICT

COMMERCIAL TRUCK RUNS INTO PATH OF MOTORCYCLE $2,400,000-SETTLEMENT

REAR-END COLLISION RESULTS IN TORN HIP LABRUM
$1,250,000-SETTLEMENT

When a distracted driver rear-ended another vehicle in Lake County, Indiana, the driver who was hit suffered a torn ligament in his hip. The initial offer from the insurance company was $13,000.

MOTORCYCLE RIDER TURNS LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING PICKUP TRUCK
$850,000-SETTLEMENT

When the plaintiff was ticketed for failing to yield for turning left in front of an oncoming pick-up truck with the right-of-way, the plaintiff and his passenger were, understandably, turned down by three separate lawyers.
