Settlement for Collision During a Funeral Procession On October 26, 2020, our client, a 24-year-old female, had just left a funeral of a close family friend. She was riding in the vehicle procession to the cemetery in Harvey, IL when another driving coming toward the procession failed to see the line of cars. Our client’s car, like the other vehicles in the procession, had a funeral sticker on it, its hazards lights were activated, and it was traveling at a low speed. Nonetheless, the negligent driver, traveling at a speed too fast for conditions and trying to beat the funeral procession, struck our client’s vehicle on the driver’s side and spun it around. Our client was transported by ambulance to the hospital. She sustained neck, back, and a left hip injury. After being released from the hospital, she followed up with specialists who recommended a course of physical therapy and an epidural injection to her lower back when the pain persisted. The car accident attorneys at Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers were able to secure witness statements that showed the negligent driver failed to yield to the funeral procession and was at-fault for the collision. The negligent driver was also cited by the responding police officer. Following her recovery, Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers’s car accident attorneys negotiated a fair and equitable settlement for our client.
