A $1.25 million settlement was reached just one month before the trial was set to begin in Kendall County, Illinois. Our client, an 18-year-old passenger in her friend’s car, suffered a fractured facial bone, two fractured vertebrae and two herniated lumbar discs when her friend fell asleep at the wheel, veered off the highway and crashed into a pole. The crash also caused the plaintiff’s scoliosis curve to worsen to the point that she would need surgery to correct it. Just one month before the trial was set to begin, State Farm met the plaintiff’s demand for the full policy limits of their insured, which was $250k (auto policy) plus $1 million (umbrella).
