Wrongful Death
Our client was an 80-year old grandmother traveling from New Jersey to Illinois for her granddaughter’s graduation. The crash occurred in Indiana. The client’s vehicle was struck by a traveling nurse who worked in Illinois and Indiana for a large healthcare provider. The client suffered a subdural hematoma requiring brain surgery at Loyola Hospital, but never recovered from her injuries and died in the hospital. Trapp & Geller were able to establish that Illinois applied to the case overcoming the harsh effects of Indiana’s caps on personal injury cases.
