In a remarkable feat for the legal team at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, two substantial verdicts have been recognized as part of the Top 5 verdicts in Illinois for the year 2024. This recognition, highlighted by Top Verdict's annual compilation, underscores the significant impact and dedication of the firm in representing clients who have suffered grave injustices.

One of the standout cases was a $79.85 million jury verdict secured by attorneys Patrick A. Salvi II, Lance D. Northcutt, Aaron D. Boeder, and Eirene N. Salvi in December 2024. The verdict was awarded on behalf of the family of a young girl who tragically lost her life following an unauthorized police pursuit in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood back in 2020. This verdict not only stands as a testament to the strength of their case but also marks the highest reported verdict for a police pursuit crash in Illinois to date. The case was ranked as the third highest among the Top 10 Personal Injury Verdicts in Illinois for 2024, reflecting the gravity and complexity involved.

Another notable achievement came with a $75.8 million jury verdict dedicated to a family whose daughter suffered severe brain injuries during birth due to alleged medical negligence. The trial took place in February 2024, where it was argued that obstetricians acted without proper justification and applied excessive force during delivery. This decisive win was facilitated by the efforts of attorneys Matthew L. Williams, Patrick A. Salvi II, and Heidi L. Wickstrom, and it was ranked as the fourth top verdict of the year.

Additionally, Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard attorneys Brian L. Salvi, Rob L. Kohen, and Emily T. Art achieved a $12.2 million verdict for a truck driver severely injured in a crash on I-70 in 2018. This verdict has garnered attention as it was the first plaintiff's verdict ever recorded in Fayette County, Illinois, thereby symbolizing a significant achievement for local plaintiffs seeking justice.
