A judge in northern Illinois awarded $6 million in a fatal crash as
reported by the Claims Journal.
Seventeen-year-old Amanda Kordich was killed by a drunk driver in July
2008. Judge Edward Prochaska called
Wesley Hanson’s actions “the definition of willful and wanton misconduct.” Mr. Hanson is serving a nine-year prison
sentence. Because he had no insurance
when the wreck happened, Hanson’s future wages will be garnished under the
civil judgment. Amanda’s mother, Diane
Kordich reportedly said that she hopes the judge’s award “will send a message
that drinking and driving won’t be tolerated in this country.” No amount of money will ever redress the harm
that Mr. Hanson inflicted upon Amanda and her family as a result of his choice
to ignore the safety rules established to protect us.
