After spending 23 years in jail for a murder and rape he did not commit, Michael Tillman wants his day in civil court. Tillman has filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Chicago and several police officers for Chicago police brutality.

He is accusing former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge and Sergeant John Byrne “sadistically tortured” him and his girlfriend Princess Williams after they voluntarily went to police for questioning about the murder of Betty Howard. Tillman and Howard lived in the same apartment building and her body was found in a vacant unit on July 21, 1986.

Tillman claims that he was physically assaulted, 7-up was poured into his nose, a plastic bag was placed over his head, and cigarette lighter flames were waved under his arm. His Chicago police brutality lawsuit contends that Steven Bell was brought in for questioning and tortured until he agreed to implicate Tillman and himself by making false statements.

In 1986, Tillman was sentenced to life in prison. This year, he was released from jail and a new trial was granted. He was found innocent in February.

Tillman’s Chicago police torture lawsuit claims that he suffered physical, emotional, and psychological injuries, as well as depression, boredom, despair, loneliness, range, anxiety, and fear from the police torture and the more than two decades he spent behind bars. He is also seeking damages for wrongful conviction, deprivation of a fair trial, false arrest, wrongful conviction, and other claims against Cook County, the City of Chicago, Mayor Daley, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office, Burge, Byrne, and other Chicago cops.

A Logan Square woman is seeking Chicago personal injury compensation for her Illinois burn injuries and the permanent disfigurement that she suffered during a 2008 acid attack. Esperanza Medina is seeking at least $50,000.

According to Medina, the violent attack happened while she was going to her social worker job at approximately 6:45 am on July 28, 2008. The plaintiff contends that three people approached her with paper cups and a baseball bat. They threw the acid on her, which caused her to suffer serious burns on her body and face. Medina has had to have multiple skin grafts and her eyesight was damaged.

Charged in the case were three teenagers and three adults. One of the adults, Ofelia Garcia, is accused of masterminding the attack. Garcia was allegedly mad at Medina because she thought the victim was dating her ex-husband.

While most Chicago injury incidents are accidental, with the liable parties never having intended to harm the victims, some are not. If you are the victim of a violent crime, you may have grounds for a Cook County, Illinois personal injury lawsuit. Your civil case is separate from any criminal case that prosecutors may decide to pursue against your assailant.

This week, the daughter of a pizza deliveryman who was murdered in 1981 filed a Chicago wrongful death lawsuit against the man convicted of killing him. Ginger Rodriguez Attia is seeking over $100,000 plus legal costs from Bella’s Pizza owner Michael Cosmano.

Attia claims that Cosmano fatally shot her father Milton Rodriguez on June 12, 1981 outside the restaurant. Prosecutors said the two men were fighting over work conditions and pay when the fatal incident occurred. Earlier this year, Cosmano was sentenced to 29 years in prison.

In Cook County Circuit Court, two Illinois personal injury lawsuits have been filed seeking financial recovery from US Airways and Southwest Airlines, respectively. The alleged injuries took place while the planes were in flight.

On Friday, Diana Burgess filed her Cook County injury complaint against U.S. Airways for injuries she sustained while on a flight to Chicago in August 2008. Burgess contends that she experienced emotional and physical trauma because the airline allowed a passenger to take a skateboard that came with “heavy sharp metal wheels” on the plane. The person stowed the skateboard in the compartment over her head but there was nothing to keep it in place.

She is seeking unspecified damages.

In another Cook County injury complaint, this one involving injuries to a minor, the skies may have been a little too friendly for the plaintiff. The Chicago man is suing Southwest Airlines because he claims that the airline’s flight attendants failed to protect the teenager during a flight headed to Orlando, Florida on July 13, 2008 from the sexual advances of an older female who also allegedly offered him drugs.

The father is accusing the flight attendant of ignoring the boy’s requests that he be transferred to another seat. His father says that the experience scared the teenager to the degree that he refused to fly home by himself. His dad had to fly over to get him so they could travel together.

In his Cook County injuries to a minor complaint, the plaintiff is seeking over $50,000 in damages.

The parents of David C. Sorin are suing his widow for Chicago medical malpractice contributing to his Cook County wrongful death. Sorin had been married to anesthesiologist Dava Grundhoefer for six weeks when the tragic fall happened.

Sorin died on August 11, 2008 when he fell from the roof of his residence while sleeping. According to his parent's Chicago wrongful death complaint, Dava Grundhoefer had prescribed sleeping pills that led to the fatal Cook County fall. They contend that even though Grundhoefer knew that sleepwalking is a possible, albeit rare side effect from taking Ambien, and that her husband had been in a car wreck as a result of previous sleepwalking incident, she continued to prescribe the prescription drug to him to help him fall asleep.

Prescription Errors
Prescription mistakes are a common cause of medical malpractice claims. They can lead to serious injuries, health complications, and even death. A doctor may prescribe the wrong medication or the wrong dosage or fail to take into account drug allergies or adverse reactions that can result from taking certain drugs. Or, a pharmacist may fill the correct prescription with the wrong dose, give a customer someone else’s medication, misread a doctor’s prescription, include the wrong instructions with the correct drug, or fail to warn about possible side effects.

Prescription drug mistakes are not the kind of error that a medical professional can afford to make.

Theresa Kramer is suing the Chicago Park District for Cook County personal injury. The Chicago woman says she got hurt last year when an errant golf ball struck her above her left eye.

At the time, she was registering golfers for a 2009 charity benefit at Sydney R. Marovitz Golf Course. The table where she was at was set up behind the ninth hole. In her Chicago, Illinois personal injury complaint, Kramer is accusing the park of acting carelessly, negligently, and improperly by letting her set up registration tables in that area.

Kramer is claiming that because she was hit by the golf ball, she now has a droopy left eye and suffers from blurred vision. She also says that the flying golf ball cut and bruised her. According to WLSAM.com, Kramer is seeking over $100,000.

Golf Ball Injuries
Getting hit by a golf ball can result in serious injuries, including head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, headaches, and vision problems. While in most cases, the golfer never intended to accidentally strike someone with their errant golf ball, accidents do happen and innocent bystanders, as well as others playing golf, can get hurt. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the Chicago golf ball accident, the golfer and/or the golf course owner can be held liable.

It was just earlier this year that our Chicago injury lawyers reported on a DuPage County personal injury case involving a woman who sued a Naperville man because a golf ball that he struck hit her on the head when it flew into her West Chicago backyard.

According to the Chicago Tribune, since 2008 over 20 former Cook County inmates have filed Chicago police brutality lawsuits against the sheriff’s office claiming that they were shackled or handcuffed by the leg while giving birth. It is illegal in this state to shackle women during labor.

While officials from the sheriff’s office claim that no laws have been broken—per policy, a pregnant woman can be restrained until a medical official verifies that she has gone into labor—the attorney who is representing the plaintiffs, whose cases received class-action status last month, have said that the restraints on his clients were either never removed or taken off too late—as in right before delivery. He also says there have been occasions when guards have refused medical professionals’ requests that the shackles and handcuffs be taken off.

The sheriff’s office recently revised its policy so that pregnant women in custody can no longer be restrained with belly chains around the waist and shackles. They can only be handcuffed now.

About 50 women a year give birth while in custody at Cook County jail. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says that in 2004, 3% of women in federal prisons and 4% of women in state prisons were pregnant when they were admitted behind bars.

Unnecessary restraining an inmate or a suspect is a violation of human rights and can be considered an act of Chicago police brutality when imposed by a law enforcement official. Three federal courts have even ruled that shacking a woman in labor without just cause violates her constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment. Last month, the American Medical Association adopted a resolution that shackling women while they are in labor be prohibited. The resolution calls the practice “medically hazardous” or “barbaric.”

Illinois is one of several US states with laws that discourage this practice.

Three months after 26-year-old Katie Ann Lunn’s SUV was fatally struck by an Amtrak train in University Park, her family is suing Illinois Central Railroad Company and Wisconsin Central Ltd. (both are owned by Canadian National Railway Co.) for Cook County wrongful death.

The tragic Illinois train accident happened because the crossing signal lights and warning signs at Stuenkel Road weren’t working properly. The safety malfunctions prevented the crossing gate from coming down until the train had almost passed. Lunn’s vehicle, which was attempting to cross the tracks at that time, was struck by an Amtrak train that was moving at a speed of about 79 mph.

In their Cook County wrongful death complaint, the plaintiffs are accusing the defendants of negligence and human error. They contend that the two railroads did not make sure that the crossing-protection systems were working properly and also failed to implement any type of plan to warn train engineers and motorists to slow down prior to entering the crossing. The Lincoln Park woman's family says the companies canceled slow-zone orders that required that trains slow down when going through the crossing. Their Chicago train accident lawyer is calling Lunn’s Illinois railroad crossing accident the most “preventable and needless” fatality he has ever encountered.

The Federal Railroad Administration, which is conducting an ongoing investigation into the deadly Illinois train crash, has confirmed that the crossing gates, bells, and flashing lights at the crossing were turned off because were repairs were being made.

Chicago Train Accidents at Railroad Crossings
Railroad crossings are a common site of train accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians. This is why train operators and engineers must exercise caution when driving through one—even when the train has the right away. Railroad companies must also sure that the necessary crossing safety and warning mechanisms are in place and that they are in proper working condition.

Victims of crimes that occur on another party’s premise may have reason to sue the property owner for Chicago premises liability. The premise owner doesn’t have to commit the crime to be held liable. The failure to provide the adequate security that could have prevented the crime from happening can be grounds for having to pay the victim or his/her family Chicago injury compensation.

You do not have to be an American citizen to file a Chicago, Illinois personal injury claim. Even illegal immigrants are entitled to seek injury damages from all liable parties. Many foreigners are not aware of these rights and, as a result, some may choose not to pursue compensation.

Carlos Salgado’s family is suing the Illinois city of Blue Island for Cook County wrongful death. Salgado, a Calumet Township trustee, drowned following a late-night swimming pool party organized by park district officials after the Blue Island Fest. Also a defendant in the Blue Island, Illinois wrongful death case is park district president Fred Bilotto. Witnesses have said that he was the one who unlocked the door to the pool.

Salgado’s body was found at the bottom of the Memorial Park Pool on June 26. The 26-year-old did not know how to swim and had consumed alcohol before the after-hours pool party.

According to one of the city’s attorneys, because Blue Island and the park district are two separate government entities, the city is not responsible for maintaining park district property or controlling its events. However, The plaintiffs’ lawyer has said that city employees may have been at the party.

Drowning Accident Lawsuits
If someone you loved drowned in someone else’s pool or hot tub, you may have grounds for filing a Cook Couny drowning accident lawsuit against the property owner, the person in charge of supervising the pool, and/or other responsible parties.

It takes just a few minutes for someone to sustain a traumatic brain injury or die from drowning. Kids are especially susceptible to drowning injuries, as are adults that are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, don’t know how to swim, or have certain health issues.

If you believe that a Chicago drowning accident happened because a pool was inadequately supervised, lacked the proper safety and emergency devices necessary to provide prompt and proper rescue, was not outfitted with the proper pool drain, or had other hazards that should have been remedied, you may have grounds for a Chicago personal injury lawsuit.

According to a new study found in the journal Human Reproduction, children conceived with assisted reproduction techniques have a higher-than-average risk of developing cerebral palsy. The study, which involved 590,000 children born between 1995 and 2003 in Demark, found that babies made with the help of fertility treatments were two times more likely to be diagnosed as suffering from cerebral palsy than those who were conceived naturally. These findings confirm results determined by a number of other studies. That said, it is also important to note that this risk is still considered low considering that only 2 or 3 out of every 1000 babies in the US and Europe have cerebral palsy.

According to the study’s findings, the increased odds of twin and multiple births and preterm deliveries that come with assisted reproduction may contribute to the increased risk that a baby will be born with the cerebral palsy. Researchers say that if this is so then implanting women with just one embryo at a time may help lower the odds. They actually found no increased risk of cerebral palsy among singleton births conceived through in-vitro fertilization.

Other findings from the study:
• 55% of babies conceived using fertility drugs had a 55% higher risk of developing cerebral palsy than children who were conceived naturally
• 63% of infants conceived through assisted reproduction were born prematurely
• 54% of assisted-reproduction births were twins or triplets

Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy is any one of a number of neurological disorders that can permanently impair muscle coordination and body movement. It can lead to permanent disabilities. A person with severe cerebral palsy may require specialized care for life. While cerebral palsy can develop naturally in some children, there are cerebral palsy cases that occur because of Illinois medical negligence. When medical mistakes contributed to causing your child’s cerebral palsy, you may have reason to sue the medical professionals involved for Chicago, Illinois medical malpractice. This is where an experienced Chicago birthing injury law firm can step in.

State lawmakers have approved legislation to pay a $20 million personal injury settlement to Jaycee Dugard, the 30-year-old woman who was kidnapped from her school bus stop at age 11 and held captive for 18 years until she was discovered last year. She was repeatedly raped by and bore two children with her abductor Phillip Garrido. Her daughters are now ages 15 and 12. The girls are seeking injuries to minor damages for their physical, emotional, and psychological injuries.

According to Forbes.com, an official analysis noted that in addition the pain and suffering caused by the kidnapping, years in captivity, and sexual assaults, Dugard, as well as her daughters, will likely require counseling for lives. Also, Dugard was never able to finish school and has no work experience. Her girls have never been to school and had lived in isolation in Garrido’s backyard.

Garrido, a registered sex offender, is now behind bars awaiting his criminal trial. Although the state parole system had been actively monitoring him since 1999, over the years, the Department of Corrections has missed several opportunities that might have allowed them to find and rescue Dugard and her girls. In 2006, a neighbor of Garrido’s called 911 to report that there were kids living in tents in his backyard. A deputy went to Garrido’s residence but only gave him a warning about code violations.

Meantime, Dugard’s mother Terry Probyn has had to live with the loss that comes with having your child disappear, not know what happened to her, and then spend years without her while missing out on all the experiences that come with being her mother. She also has filed a claim with the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board.

While the Corrections Department typically is immune from personal injury claims, the state’s Department of Justice recommended the settlement, which Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that he will sign and approve.
