Hon. William E. Gomonlinski, (Ret.), senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems, recently settled a $16 million personal injury case, the highest amputation settlement on record in Lake County.

The dispute involved a 2018 motorcycle crash in which the plaintiff sustained severe injuries and underwent a below-the-knee leg amputation.

“The keys to settling an emotional case such as this are attention to detail and patience,” said Judge Gomolinski. “When the damages and liabilities are this extensive, the tiniest details can make the difference between resolution and leaving the table. My experience in amputation cases helped me recognize these details and guide the parties toward settlement.”

According to a press release, both sides agreed Judge Gomolinski was instrumental in settling this case.

Judge Gomolinski’s experience in settling high-value cases – including several motorcycle and amputation cases – led to a $9 million settlement and a $7.6 million settlement earlier this year, and a $15 million settlement in January.
