John Fleming handled a jury trial, involving an automobile accident with $110,000 in special damages, in Tazewell County, Illinois. The injured plaintiff was operating the last car in line in a “chain reaction” collision on a busy, high-speed, five lane roadway. Plaintiff claimed the defendant driver engaged in an improper sudden stop and partial left turn into the middle turn lane, causing all vehicles in the line of traffic behind her to brake suddenly. The plaintiff suffered a broken leg and had permanent rod in his leg. At the end of a three day trial, the jury returned with a verdict of “Not Guilty” in favor of Attorney Fleming’s client, finding no negligence on the part of the defendant driver.
