Beating Goliath

In the second episode of this three-part series, Tierney’s lawyers at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard prepare for trial and build their case against the city of Chicago. As settlement negotiations continue, it becomes clear that Tierney’s legal team and the lawyers for the city of Chicago were not seeing eye to eye in terms of how much Tierney should be compensated for her injury. While the city does eventually admit their negligence caused Tierney’s injury, her attorneys feel their settlement offers would not adequately provide Tierney with the funds needed to seek treatment for the rest of her life.

Listen in to hear how Tierney’s attorneys demonstrated her everyday struggles to the jury and if their arguments were enough to convince the jurors to award her a record-breaking verdict.
