2017-L-1048 (Illinois, Cook County)
Jessica just won her third consecutive jury trial for 2019. In her most recent victory, Jessica successfully defended an inflatable amusement park after a 38 year old man fractured his ankle while going down an inflatable slide. The plaintiff retained an amusement device expert from Florida, who opined that the plaintiff got his foot caught in a loose slide cover and that the defendant failed to properly monitor the slide.
Plaintiff underwent surgery, and asked for over $450,000 prior to trial. However, Jessica took the case to trial and made the case that the inflatable slide cover was not defective and that the defendant was not negligent in any way. After hearing from seven witnesses over the course of a four day trial, the jury agreed with Jessica and returned a full defense verdict.
