That record includes many settlements and verdicts that total millions or multimillions of dollars each. It also includes many groundbreaking cases, including a verdict in what is believed to be the only plaintiff’s verdict in Illinois for a wrongful birth case. One of the most notable cases in the breach of contract area was a confidential settlement agreement that was reached where the defendant’s damage estimate ranged from approximately $150 million to $450 million, and the case was settled for an amount approximately equal to the accrual that the defendant had established for the case.
