Overview
Amundsen Davis defended the owner of a Cessna 421 in litigation stemming from a four-fatality crash. The case was litigated for over a decade and resulted in multiple appellate decisions, including an opinion of first impression finding that Illinois does not recognize the tort of educational malpractice. Ultimately, our client was awarded summary judgment on all remaining theories of liability. The final appeal resulted in a decision providing much-needed clarification on the law surrounding proximate cause and negligent entrustment in Illinois.
