$9,050,000 Verdict - Premises Liability

Romanucci and Blandin Partner Bruno R. Marasso and others secured a record-high McHenry County plaintiffs’ verdict in favor of their clients against Commonwealth Edison for $9.05 million. The injured plaintiff claimed that unbeknownst to him, Commonwealth Edison had damaged a bike path on which he was riding his bicycle, causing him to hit the damage, be ejected over the handlebars, hit his head, and suffer a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). The injured plaintiff claimed the mild TBI aggravated prior cognitive, social, and emotional deficits caused by his pre-existing conditions of Chron’s disease, hypertension, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis.
