Michelle L. v. Collinsville School District, Nameoki Township Highway Department and Metro East Disposal Inc.

Type of Case: Motor Vehicle, Negligence
Result: $12,600,000.00 settlement at trial

Michelle, a 11 year old, suffered a brain injury after being struck by a car while crossing the street while on her way to a Girl Scout meeting. Although the car that hit Michelle was driven by an uninsured driver, a substantial recovery was made against a waste disposal company for obstructing the drivers view of a school area where children were crossing the street.

An action was brought against the school district due to their failure to provide a crossing guard in a crossing location when the school knew that children would be heading to a Girl Scout meeting. A recovery was obtained against the highway department for their failure to provide signs warning motorists that there were children present in the area.
