• Review your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
• Update your MedPay limits
• Look for gaps in coverage
• Check your renewal date so you can make changes in time

A 10 minute review today can prevent major financial stress later. If you’re injured in Illinois and unsure what your policy means for your case, our team is here to help you understand your options.

Introducing Behind the Verdict, our new series where we take you past the headline result and into the real story behind each case.

Today’s case:
A husband and father lost his life when a commercial landscaping truck struck him as he was mowing his front lawn in Litchfield, Illinois. Early police findings blamed him for entering the roadway, but the evidence told a different story.

When his family came to Walton Telken Bragee, our team conducted a deeper investigation. We uncovered that the driver was speeding 10–15 mph over the limit, admitted the sun was in her eyes, and failed to see a clearly posted 25‑mph sign just ahead of the crash site. In her deposition, she acknowledged she should have seen him from hundreds of feet away, whether he was in the grass or near the roadway.

This tragedy was preventable.

Through early mediation, Walton Telken Bragee secured a $3.5 million settlement to support his widow and child and hold the responsible parties accountable.
