(Chicago) In a wrongful death case that involved the tragic shooting death of Rekia Boyd by an off-duty Chicago police officer, our attorneys obtained a $750,000 settlement for ten (10) of Rekia Boyd’s half-siblings as their share of a $2.9 million wrongful death settlement. The initial offer to our 10 clients from the executor of the estate was $100,000 and many of our clients were dispersed throughout the United States. The balance of the settlement went to Rekia’s mother and five Chicago-based siblings. We aggressively pursued litigation on behalf of our clients in Cook County Circuit Court and obtained the final settlement within five (5) months. The Boyd case is a true testament to our firm’s ability to represent clients in wrongful death cases and other complex litigation matters and pursue them aggressively with a great result.
