The jury in Chicago has awarded $79.85 million to the family of Da’Karia Spicer, a 10-year-old girl who tragically died due to injuries sustained in a police pursuit crash. This ruling is acknowledged as the largest verdict in Illinois for a case involving a police pursuit. The decision was secured by attorneys Patrick A. Salvi and Lance D.
