Alla Ozik as special administratrix of the estate of Michael Ozik deceased v. Village of Skokie, a Municipal Corporation, et al.
Our firm obtained a verdict in excess of a million dollars in a case against the Village of Skokie and two of it's police officers. In the course of this five-and-a-half week trial, we were successful in proving that the defendants committed willful and wanton misconduct in the execution and enforcement of the law, which led to the death of our client. This case went all the way up to the Supreme Court, where certiorari was denied. Thus, the appellate court used this case to explain what must be proven when suing the police under a theory of willful and wanton misconduct in the execution and enforcement of the law. Therefore, whenever a suit is filed against the police utilizing this theory, our case is used as the standard.
