Chicago,IL : Estate of man killed in 2016 Skokie crash sues driver on may, Monday 22th 2017

The estate of a man who was fatally struck by a vehicle last December in north suburban Skokie is suing the vehicle’s driver.

Joanne Hwa Lee, special administrator of the estate of Tae J. Kwon, was seeking more than $50,000 in the wrongful death suit against Janice K. Hamilton, according to the lawsuit, filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.

The suit alleges that Lee was riding a bicycle south on Kostner Avenue on Nov. 18 when he was struck by Hamilton’s vehicle in the intersection of Kostner and Mulford. Hamilton was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox east on Mulford and turning left on Kostner when the crash happened, the suit alleges.

Kwon was pronounced dead at 12:33 a.m. Dec. 30, more than a month after the crash, according to the medical examiner’s office. An autopsy found he died of complications from his injuries, and his death was ruled an accident.
