School Board Settles $14.7 Mill. Injury Lawsuit
The Chicago Board of Education has agreed to settle a $14.7 million lawsuit with a man who suffered severe injuries while on a mini-trampoline at school in Chicago 18 years ago. Ryan Murray became a quadriplegic after hitting his head on the side of the trampoline during a tumbling class when he was 13. The case was set for trial after the Illinois Supreme Court ruled “if a government body shows ‘an utter indifference or conscious disregard for the safety of others,’” it is subject to liability.
