Meyers & Flowers attorneys Michael W. Lenert and Thomas M. Connelly recently secured a $1,500,000 settlement on behalf of the family of a devoted husband and father who lost his life in a tragic collision. This resolution brings a measure of justice to a family left grieving.
The tragic incident occurred in September of 2023, when the victim was traveling home on his motorcycle along Route 30. As he approached its intersection with Indian Road in Shabbona, the defendant, operating a large tractor with an attached grain cart, proceeded to cross the intersection despite not having the right-of-way. The victim was unable to avoid the collision and ultimately struck the rear wheel of the tractor, resulting in his instant death.
