This article is intended to help educate the public about legal issues

"A 65-year-old grandmother was driving on a Chicago tollway when a man test driving a fast new sports car lost control and rear-ended her at a tollbooth. The impact left the once healthy woman a paraplegic.

The defendant driver was a member of the U.S. Marines, awaiting dispatch to Iraq for months at a time to defend his country in a time of war.

It is a different battle for the elderly plaintiff. Instead of enjoying her golden years, she is faced with numerous surgeries, painful rehabilitation and their incumbent medical bills. She filed a personal injury lawsuit to collect the damages she suffered. But a law prevents the aging woman from proceeding, even though the serviceman is insured by a property casualty insurer and liability is not in dispute."
