Case Details

Jury awarded verdict for a 20-year-old unseatbelted passenger who suffered a broken nose, deviated septum, and facial lacerations in an intersection collision. State Farm paid the entire judgment within three weeks.

Additional Notes

The vehicle collided in the middle of an intersection at 183rd and Governors Highway in Homewood, Illinois with a vehicle making a left turn. Both drivers claimed they had a green light. Independent eyewitnesses gave conflicting testimony. Farmers Insurance, which insured the car in which he was a passenger, offered to settle for $100,000 (policy limits) prior to trial. The case proceeded to trial against the left-turning co-defendant who was insured by State Farm. State Farm offered $75,000 prior to the start of the trial which Mr. Statham rejected.
