$18 Million Settlement for Death of Mother by Fallen High-Rise Window
Corboy & Demetrio obtained an $18 million settlement on behalf of the Estate of 38-year-old woman who was killed by a window that fell from the high-rise CNA Plaza in Chicago. The woman was walking and holding the hand of her three year old daughter, when a piece of glass fell from the 29th floor of the building and killed her. This incident resulted in a general outcry from the media and the public for more stringent inspections of high-rise windows in the downtown area.
