Traumatic Brain Injury Case Resolved by Kaveny + Kroll

CHICAGO — Just weeks after opening their doors at Two Pru, Kaveny + Kroll has resolved its first case. The client — a young, single, self-employed woman — was a passenger in her father’s car. The vehicle was at a complete stop when it was hit from behind and pushed into the car in front of it, creating two forceful impacts. The client’s head was thrown into the front row seat headrest and then backward into her own headrest. As a result of the collision, the client suffered a traumatic brain injury which led to cognitive disabilities. She is now dependent on her elderly father for assistance with daily living activities.

As Managing Partner, Elizabeth Kaveny explained, “We identified our client as someone in need of immediate financial assistance for medical treatment and caregiving. Now, she can afford both.”

Kaveny + Kroll has emphasized its desire to handle cases more expediently and with greater care than might normally occurs in “the system,” which is why Kaveny reached out for immediate mediation and to retired Judge Dennis Burke to get the job done. Kaveny and her first hire, junior trial attorney Olivia Sarmas-Ford, attended the mediation with Burke.

“We are happy to bring some closure to this family, as well as financial relief so our client can attempt to regain some of her independence,” Sarmas-Ford added. The amount of the settlement will remain confidential at the family’s request.
