Case Settles for over $200k


Doe v. Cortez - Attorney Jason A. Marker recently settled a serious injury case for over $200,000.00 on behalf of a Plaintiff who was T-boned at an intersection in Oswego, IL, and sustained injuries to his hip. As a result of the trauma, he underwent a total hip replacement surgery. After surgery, he had further complications, necessitating two revisions surgeries to the hip. Plaintiff was able to return to work, but lost significant wages as a result of the accident.


After settling with the Defendant for his own policy limit of $20,000.00, Plaintiff's own underinsured carrier (Central Mutual Insurance) eventually agreed to settle the case for an additional $200,000.00.
