Personal Injury: Boat: Leg Injury

Circuit Court of Cook County, IL
$1.5 Million Award

Brian Diamond resolved a boat injury case after 4 years of time-consuming litigation and fighting off more than a dozen dispositive motions. The case involved a serious injury to a 19 year-old girl, struck by a boat propeller. The injury left the young lady with serious scarring and reduced feeling in her lower leg and foot. She had attended a church camp and was engaged in boating activity away from the camp at the time of the injury, during a designated 'free time' at the camp.

Thorough research and carefully selected experts, helped to convince the church camp's attorneys and insurance carrier that a jury would probably find that the boating was a camp activity, and hold the camp liable for the injury. She received a settlement of $1,500,000.00. The award will allow her to obtain the assistance she needs to lead a more active life and assure that she will have the ability to pay for any future surgery she may need.
