Taluc v. C.H. Robinson
On April 1, 2004, DeAn Henry was driving a 40-ton semi-tractor trailer loaded with potatoes when she lost control of the vehicle in slow moving traffic on northbound Interstate 55 near Plainfield, IL, rear-ending several cars and setting off a multi-vehicle chain reaction that resulted in 2 deaths, one serious injury, multiple other injuries, and property damage. Our clients William and Skye Taluc’s vehicle was the first car struck and was partially overridden by the semi. William sustained multiple crushing injuries, two collapsed lungs, 17 broken bones requiring numerous surgeries, and permanent disability of his lower right leg.
Verdict: $7,755,000 to William Taluc and wife.
The total verdict is the highest ever reported from Will County.
