$5.75 Million Settlement for Local Chicagoland Family
November 26, 2024
Michael P. Scanlon secured a $5.75 million settlement for a Chicagoland family after Gary Luke, a Sauk Village police officer, initiated a pursuit after witnessing a vehicle speeding and littering. The fleeing vehicle crashed into the family's home, severely injuring a minor.
Defendants filed multiple motions for summary judgment, arguing that they were immune from liability. Michael won all motions, and the case settled shortly before trial was set to begin.

Through documents and deposition testimony, Kevin was able to establish that the general contractor and owner failed to provide a safe place to work.
