Corboy & Demetrio Partner Michael D. Ditore spoke on the topic, Litigating Police Chases, on Friday at the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association’s 2024 Update & Review Seminar. In his presentation, Mike played video excerpts from the Chicago Police Department’s own training videos to show how that type of evidence can be effective in proving willful and wanton conduct. He also discussed similarities he has seen in police chase and medical malpractice cases that he’s litigated. Mike, who became a partner earlier this year, has an impressive record of success in both practice areas. Learn more about him: https://lnkd.in/ezg3-CA
