    Jeremy Dutton v. Foltz Welding, Ltd.

    In Season 5 of Beating Goliath: A Plaintiff’s Pursuit of Justice, you will hear the story of Jeremy Dutton, a 42-year-old fourth-generation truck driver who loved his job and was a true Southern family man. But a crash on the job led to years of discomfort and pain that changed life as he knew it.     In July 2018, Jeremy was rear-ended by a pickup truck while completing his route to Ohio along Eastbound I-70 near Vandalia, Illinois. The impact of the collision caused Jeremy to be forcefully thrown back and forth in the driver’s seat of the truck. Jeremy underwent surgery, but unfortunately, he still experiences neuropathic pain to this day.   A man of modest means, Jeremy enlisted the help of Chicago personal injury attorneys at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard to help with his mounting medical bills. This is the story of how his legal team defied the odds against them and secured the first-ever plaintiff’s verdict in Fayette County, Illinois – an impressive 8-figure recovery for Jeremy and his family.

    Part 1: “It Was Like A Nightmare”

    In Part 1 of this 3-part series, you will meet Billy Fern, a young man who had to undergo a foot amputation due to medical negligence. Back in 2014, Billy was an active and adventurous 25-year-old college graduate who was pursuing his personal and professional goals. That year, he was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism and placed on a blood thinner regimen. As part of his treatment plan, he stopped taking the blood thinners in June, and about a week later, he began experiencing foot pain. Despite numerous doctor visits and complaints of increasing foot pain, Billy’s concerns were dismissed by multiple physicians. By the time a doctor finally took notice, it was too late.  This is the story of how Billy Fern overcame unimaginable circumstances both physically and emotionally, and pursued justice with the help of the attorneys of Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, P.C.

    Part 3: The Jury Sends A Message

    In the third and final episode of Season 3 of Beating Goliath, Tierney’s case is in the hands of the jury.  During closing arguments, Tierney’s attorneys suggested a verdict of around $175 million, while the defense attorneys for the city of Chicago suggested just about $30 million, a number not much different than their original settlement offer. It was clear both sides believed in their case – but it was only a matter of time before the jury would return their verdict and Tierney would hopefully, finally see justice. After deliberating for about five hours, Tierney’s attorneys receive a call that the verdict is in. After rejecting one last settlement offer from the defense, Tierney’s attorneys find out if they made the right call in rejecting their offers.  Listen in to hear the jury’s final verdict.  Visit https://www.salvilaw.com/podcast/ for more information on Tierney’s case and the show.

    Part 2: $30 Million Just Isn't Enough

    In the second episode of this three-part series, Tierney’s lawyers at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard prepare for trial and build their case against the city of Chicago. As settlement negotiations continue, it becomes clear that Tierney’s legal team and the lawyers for the city of Chicago were not seeing eye to eye in terms of how much Tierney should be compensated for her injury. While the city does eventually admit their negligence caused Tierney’s injury, her attorneys feel their settlement offers would not adequately provide Tierney with the funds needed to seek treatment for the rest of her life. Listen in to hear how Tierney’s attorneys demonstrated her everyday struggles to the jury and if their arguments were enough to convince the jurors to award her a record-breaking verdict.  Visit https://www.salvilaw.com/podcast/ for more information on Tierney’s case and the show.

    Part 1: "I Can't Feel My Legs"

    In Episode 1 of this three-part series, you will meet Tierney Darden, a young woman who suffered a life-changing injury at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport in 2015.  Tierney, her mom, and one of her sisters had just flown home from Minnesota, where they were shopping for bridesmaids’ dresses for an upcoming family wedding. As they were waiting outside the airport to be picked up by Tierney’s dad, a strong storm blew through the area. The ladies sought shelter behind a pedestrian vestibule. Unfortunately, the shelters had deteriorated and were not secured to the pavement. The shelter Tierney and her family were behind dislodged from the fasteners and collapsed on top of Tierney, severing her spinal cord.  This is the story of how Tierney pursued justice against the city of Chicago, which owned and operated O’Hare Airport and was, therefore, ultimately responsible for maintaining the condition of the shelters.  Visit https://www.salvilaw.com/podcast/ for more information on Tierney’s case and the show.
