Statute of Limitations?
Isn't there a deadline for a reason?
- Two Chicago police officers are being sued more than seven years after a car they were pursuing crashed into a brick wall, killing a 19-year-old man.
The family of Luis Vazquez said Officers [...] “wantonly and recklessly” contributed to Vazquez’s death by speeding excessively, failing to discontinue their pursuit of the vehicle, and failing to use their Mars lights among other claims in the lawsuit, which was filed Tuesday in Cook County Circuit Court.
Seven years? What a joke.

For failure to stop? And the police shouldn't persue? How about mounting a laws rocket on the light bar slaved to a laser that's lockable on target. How about Anita filing suit against the two that begat this mistake and let him loose on the public?
those are the types you don't want to grant amnesty to ! I am Latin American and YES I am saying it!
Sounds like momma just got clean and needs to get paid.
So some ese' decides to run from the cops and ends up eating a brick wall all because they were chasing him? The Ghetto-Lotto sure does pay out!
A car crashed into a brick wall? All by itself? Or was there SOMEONE behind the wheel?
Just like those damned guns that go off all by themselves, with no one pulling the trigger.
Let's just blame the police, instead of the person who really committed the crime.
Someone please direct Alderman Reilly to this post so he can understand why police don't care to be proactive like he wants us all to be.
See post above regarding aldermanic call for aggressive policing.
That is all. Carry on.
The owner of the wall, this piece of shit struck, should sue the family for the damage and for letting this piece of shit get behind the wheel of the car in the first place. Chances are the family knew this piece of shit was a danger to the community. This piece of shit did the world a favor the moment he struck the wall and ceased to live.
This sounds like it exceeds the timeframe for filing a lawsuit.
Hopefully it never even gets off the ground.
what if their kid would have stopped instead of flee?
Too bad cook county is again immune from US Supreme Court case law which has wrote an opinion: that fleeing from the police in a vehicle is considered a dangerous & violent crime with the bearing laying solely upon the driver of the fleeing vehicle due to avoiding capture. I bet corp council won't even cite Sykes vs United States.
There are exceptions to the seven year limitation. For example, a lady on The People's Court had an expensive watch cleaned at a shop, when she had the watch appraised approx seven or eight years later, she was told the watch was a fake.she sued and won even though the statute of limitations had run out, because she did not become aware that a fake had been substituted for her watch until seven or eight years later. She then had six years to sue, which she did and won. This is why lawyers are hated, they know this and refuse to file suits (not against the police) and lie its too late to recoup your losses.
This sounds like a case where a judge should tell the parents of this moron to get out of his courtroom and take their jackal-headed lawyer with them
So it's the fault of the police, and not the decedent? What a great Country! Now to check the news and see how much "foreign aid" was given to radical Muslim countries today...
Hopefully corporation counsel won't have to cite anything except the statute of limitations. Unless I'm missing something, this thing should be tossed out- statute of limitations for state law claims is 1 year and federal law claims is 2 years.
Damn...
And people see shit like this and cannot figure out why proactive Policing in Chicago has been destroyed beyond all hope?
Some Asswipe lawyer must have talked her into it. Abogado!
Relax, it will be dismissed. For the officers being sued contact an attorney and sue the attorney who filed the lawsuit. It is an easy winner all day. Also have your attorney file a complaint with ARDC, it won't go away.
Fuck these people ! I swear Some one at city hall is putting these people up to suing and getting a kickback
I thought the statute of limitationsfor filing a lawsuit for an accidentwas TWO years, not 7. WTF is this?
Time limit? Statute of Limitations? Not to worry, the Illinois Legislature will simple change the law to fit the circumstances like they did for hearsay evidence against Drew Peterson.
7?!! Thats nothing, some co-workers and I were sued 14 years after the alleged incident AND were found liable!! The blind mice on the so-called jury even handed out Punitive damages. It makes me sick to talk about it...
So if I drive really fast away from police and kill myself, then my next of kin get to sue - Chicago is awesome.
Seriously - fuck this guy and his family.
Remember theses illegal aliens can now remain in our country until the court action is over. BUILD THE WALL!!!
They got nothing SCC. Another shit head lawyer trying to make a buck.I saw a lawyer in court once wearing snakeskin boots,I asked him where he bought them? he said you can't buy them, just rent them.
Call Dick Durbin's office & ask him to sponsor legislation for a "Brick Wall Ban" that would limit all walls to a certain density and thickness. All existing brick walls would be retrofitted with mattresses and all new construction would have to consist of Government approved foam rubber.
Remember, if it saves just one life...
wow..... seven years to find a lawyer to take the case.
read the "Scott vs. Harris" case that was decided by the US Supreme court. Tha oficers in-car camera save him and the kid who crashed and became a quad lost his case. No 4th admendent was violated.
Definitely worth following this one. I've heard there's a two year (?) statute on commencing a civil suit against a government entity. Not sure about the individual officers in a civil case. I DO know that the statute of limitations against a government official in CRIMINAL matters is tolled by their employment. IOW, you're fair game until 3 yrs out of the job. Watch yourselves.
Lookin' for the Ghetto Lotto......
Keep on chasing these losers. This is what you get.
Relax, it will be dismissed. For the officers being sued contact an attorney and sue the attorney who filed the lawsuit. It is an easy winner all day. Also have your attorney file a complaint with ARDC, it won't go away.
Its not that easy, if the lawsuit was filed too late, the judge will dismiss the lawsuit. Thats all that will happen. The officers have no lawsuit as they have no loss and dont waste your time on my character, deflamation, what will my co workers think of me, you have no damages or monitary loss
Jackal-headed lawyer...now that's funny
Shithead was the passenger.

Now we are citing legal precedent from a television show?
Maybe the brick wall should get a department commendation
Wood chipper for the family.

Then, they should be suing the driver's insurance company and the driver's estate. (It was really, really hard to type that with a straight face.)
Why would you even bother chasing anyone unless it's something serious against the police? Hot car, victim usually doesn't want to press charges. Agg bat, see last comment. Traffic, gimme a break. Homicide, he will get picked soon enough. There's not really a reason unless you are to young enough to know. Be safe.
