Million Dollar Personal Injury Settlement
Our client suffered catastrophic leg injuries as a result of a drunk driving roll-over crash of a recreational vehicle, a UTV, while on a fishing trip in Wisconsin. The client underwent four surgeries and had permanent scarring, pain and numbness. The Firm was hired as co-trial counsel. After being hired, we were able to defeat the Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The case settled shortly after a contested mediation for a million dollars.
Environmental Cases Against Sterigenics
The Firm has filed 12 lawsuits against Sterigenics alleging that our clients contracted cancer after being exposed for years to Sterigenics’ ethylene oxide emissions. Ethylene oxide, classified by the EPA as “carcinogenic to humans”, is a chemical with mutagenic properties that has been linked in studies to multiple cancers and an increased risk of miscarriages. The lawsuits, filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, were brought on behalf of our clients who have suffered from, or lost a loved one to, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, and T cell lymphoma.
The lawsuits allege that Sterigenics knowingly emitted cancer-causing ethylene oxide starting in 1985 and continuing through 2019. And as a result, our clients, who lived or worked near Sterigenics for years, were exposed to a carcinogen that-- according to a government report--raised their cancer risk many times above the national average.
