This firm is clearly not tackling avant guarde issues in probate litigation, as demonstrated by this article in the Chicago Tribune. According to the story, a man died when struck by an express Amtrak train in 2008. Unfortunately a piece of his body also struck another woman during the accident.
The woman hit by his flying body parts is now suing the dead man's estate.
And apparently, she has a case. The Illinois Court of Appeals recently overturned the trial court opinion dismissing the suit. The injuries the plaintiff suffered were, according to the appellate court, a reasonably foreseeable result of the dead defendant's actions.
The ABA has published a quick write-up of the story here.
