Copack was injured while proceeding through a Chicago intersection on the green light when his vehicle was broadsided by a car driven by defendant O&#8217;Donnell, who was being chased by defendant Officer Longini. The fleeing suspect was chased out of Merrionette Park and into Chicago on suspicion of driving under the influence. As a result of the collision Copack was ejected from his vehicle, suffered skull, facial and spinal cord fractures as well as a closed head injury, and was rendered an incomplete quadriplegic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abMore than five years after the collision our client still has effects from his traumatic brain injury, and still has significant deficits as a result of his spinal cord injury. \u00abHis medical bills have already been substantial and, as he is now only in his thirties, he will require an expensive life care plan for the future. We are pleased to have reached this settlement before his case went to trial, so that his care needs are assured.\u00bb His therapy continues, but as a recent news story shows he has yet to resume his full job with a Chicago law firm, needs an electronic device to walk &ndash; and may never be able to pick up and cradle his newborn child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secures $5.25 Million Settlement from Village of Merrionette Park for Traumatic Injuries Suffered in Auto Accident The Village of Merrionette Park has agreed to pay a $5.25 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit brought by the law firm of Wise Law Offices LLC.
