Chicago Personal Injury Lawyer Blog
In a Chicago, Illinois auto accident a person was killed and another was seriously injured when a motor vehicle struck a building near the Lincolnwood and Chicago border on Friday, according to the Chicago Suntimes. The car hit a building located in the 3800 block of West Devon Avenue. The Chicago Police Department, Major Accident Investigations were called to the scene.
No further information as to how the accident happened, or the identities of the driver and victims has been released. It was reportedly a “pin-in crash”.
In this type of case the family of the deceased will have a wrongful death claim against the driver who struck the building. The second injured person would have a personal injury claim as well.

The case settled out of court. The only issue in this type of case is typically damages, as there is no issue as to who is at fault.
