You need to check with your attorney. Pacer shows the case was closed on 12-04-23.

As Mr. Akpinar told you, you would BOTH be liable. Under Illinois' modified comparative negligence, if a party is found 51% at fault, the party CANNOT recover. On your facts, it's too close to call. Be more careful.
Ahead but saw they were there and breaked too late, I got a ticket for “ driving too fast” and I don’t have to appear in court. It was a minor hit, my car didn’t get damaged and the other car got a slight dent and some scratches from my license plate. Should I plea guilty ?
answered on Dec 9, 2023
I agree with Mr. Maximovich. Contact a traffic attorney who practices in the jurisdiction where you received the citation. The attorney may be able to negotiate deferred prosecution or otherwise enable you to plea to a nonmoving offense to minimize any negative impact on your license or your... View More

The way this works is that you need to ask a question. You have not asked any question. Moreover, you should never use proper names. The information exchanged online is supposed to be hypothetical and anonymous.
I'm enrolling into a college where they have a large first-year enrollment rate. Because of this, a lot of students (mainly freshmen) are pushed to live in a specific dorm hall that's farthest away from the entire campus. For the past few years, this hall has gained a NOTORIOUS reputation... View More

You can't sue anyone for something that hasn't happened yet. You are choosing to enroll in the school. By doing so you are choosing to live where you are assigned. On your facts, you haven't even seen the dorm yet. Your concerns are based solely on gossip. Dorms are often... View More

What is the procedure? What is the protocol for that procedure? Does your insurance require that the procedure be performed with a local? Was a local ineffective on you in the past? What harm, if any, did you suffer? General anesthesia carries many risks (including that you may not wake up)... View More

I do not know anything about your situation. If a law firm has confirmed to you that the physician's actions constituted medical negligence, you can always file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. That is the State agency that licenses all... View More

There are no reported Decisions involving a litigant by the name of "Moll" and "Mount Prospect" from the late 1980's, to present. It would be helpful to know why you are looking for it/what proposition it stands for. Please provide that information and I'll check.
I don't have insurance and I'm scared. The cops came here but I hadn't made it home yet. I don't know what to do

If your friend had insurance, the accident is covered.
If your friend didn't have insurance, you gave your friend permission to drive your car, knowing that it was uninsured so you are responsible for all property damage and/or personal injury that resulted. Whether you were driving... View More

You don't give us a lot to go on so I'll begin at the beginning. Personal injury attorneys work on a contingency which means that they do not get paid unless they win. Regardless of the reason, if witnesses are claiming that you are responsible for an accident, a judge, jury, or... View More
could this possibly be plead down to a falure to yeild or something?
answered on Oct 11, 2022
You need to be represented by counsel. Almost everything can be played to a lesser included offense, under most circumstances. There are too many variables to discuss and there are details that should not be published in an online forum. You need to contact a criminal defense attorney who... View More

ABSOLUTELY! The police have a duty to clear the highway after an accident. To that end, in any given jurisdiction, tow operators must apply with the police agency or district and must be able to respond 24/7 (in good weather) within 20 minutes and meet other criteria, as provided by State Vehicle...

You only provide part of the scenario. The way this works is that you need to ask a question so that we may respond. Please repost with a question.
He caused my shoulder to sprain. Can I get a payment from workers comp for the injury?
answered on Sep 18, 2022
Your question is very oddly phrased. If you sustained an injury as diagnosed by your physician, by the means that you explained, you have clearly sustained a work injury. If you timely report this injury to your employer, you have a solid Worker's Compensation claim which means that you are... View More

I was informed they would have to report the incident to the department of abandoned vehicles, which would probably involve a delay of 30-60 days... View More

Please ask a more specific question. If you are asking whether you are permitted to charge storage fees as permitted by Illinois statute, the answer is YES. Just to be on the safe side, I would send the lienholder a letter by certified mail with return receipt requested, memorializing your... View More

I agree with Mr. Jesky. I would only add that your question has nothing to do with Workers' Compenstion which is an area of law concerning work-related injuries.
He’s never even spoken to this kid. He walked up to my son during lunch and started kicking him and hitting him. There is supposed to be lunch attendants making sure this stuff doesn’t happen.

There have always been bullies. There probably always will be bullies. There is no law to invoke. If the school has a zero-tolerance policy about violence, the aggressor should be reprimanded.

First of all, let me commend you for having the foresight to carry reasonable limits of insurance. It is exactly this type of situation where that pays off. Irrespective of the at fault driver's policy limits, you have at least $250,000 of coverage available, without looking at the policy.... View More

You offer no explanation for asserting that you know autopsy photos exist or why the Coroner and the Sheriff would prevent you from getting them. The easiest way to memorialize your request for the documents is to make a FOIA request. Serve one on the corner and serve another on the sheriff.... View More
