Experienced Advocacy in Complex Trucking Accident Claims
In the case of Chelsea Mertz v. Onofrio J. Lorusso, our attorneys filed a suit on behalf of our client Chelsea Mertz, a passenger in a vehicle driven by Mr. Lorusso, who lost control of a vehicle and struck a tree, killing the front seat passenger and severely injuring Ms. Mertz. He was charged with driving under the influence and sentenced to jail time and probation.
We also represented the parents and siblings of Keith P. Forbes, a 16-year-old high school sophomore who was killed in an automobile crash in 2001. Mr. Forbes was a back seat passenger in a car driven by a friend, which was broadsided in a Kane County intersection by a van driven by Marie Marot and owned by Fraternite Notre Dame, Inc. Witness accounts suggested that Ms. Marot ran a red light. We believe that Ms. Marot — who was a nun, had started her day very early in the morning, and was driving late at night — blew a stop sign because she was tired and exhausted.
Our attorneys will take every available action on your behalf. We will work to settle your claim if possible, but are prepared to take any case to court.
