Soft tissue injuries involve damage to muscles and/or tendons and are surprisingly common in pedestrian accidents. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident due to another’s negligence, contact 844 See Mike today for a free consultation.

Here are some examples of Illinois settlements for pedestrian accidents involving soft tissue injuries:

  • Madison County – Schmidtke v. Pullis – In Jonesboro, Illinois, a man pumping gas into his car was struck by another vehicle, pinning him between it and his vehicle. The pedestrian’s resulting soft tissue damage developed into “costochondritis” (Tietze’s syndrome). The jury ruled that the defendant was liable for negligence and awarded the pedestrian (plaintiff) $65,000 in compensation.
  • Kane County – Schaughnessy v. Storm – In an interstate construction zone, a 39 year-old woman was struck by a vehicle and suffered soft tissue damage in her knee, spine, and shoulder, as well as other injuries. The case was settled before a trial was necessary and the pedestrian received $200,000 in compensation.
  • Cook County – Mavros v. Greenfield – A 20 year-old pedestrian was struck by a motorist who drove through a crosswalk, resulting in soft tissue damage and bruising for the plaintiff. The jury ruled in favor of the plaintiff, since she had the right-of-way in the crosswalk, and awarded her just over $198,000, which included $50,000 in punitive damages.
