The Illinois Jury Verdict Reporter has confirmed that the $602,000.00 combined award obtained by attorney Michael Viglione last week in Lake County Circuit Court is a record verdict.

Viglione obtained a $552,000.00 verdict on behalf of a female client who had a prior L3-L5 fusion and L3-S1 decompression laminectomy 75 days prior to her October 18, 2014 automobile accident. The plaintiffs claimed that the accident aggravated the female’s pre-existing back issues. Viglione obtained an additional $50,000.00 for the female’s husband based on loss of his wife’s society and companionship.

The jury verdict is the highest in Lake County history for a female plaintiff claiming aggravation of a pre-existing condition. The verdict is the highest in the past 25 years in Lake County for aggravation of a pre-existing condition in general.
