Unborn Son Of Biker To Receive Settlement Worth Millions
Although his father was killed in a motorcycle accident four months before he was born and his parents were never married the now eight-month old son of an Illinois biker, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in Illinois on April 18, 2005, will receive a settlement that could be worth more than $3,000,000.00. Attorneys Michael F. Hupy and Jason F. Abraham who have offices in Wisconsin and Illinois appeared in a Southern Illinois Court on April 10, 2006, and received approval of the settlement.
Also in Court were longtime A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois Chapter President and Hupy and Abraham Investigator Bob Sumption. He works out of the law firm offices in Normal, Decatur and Peoria, Illinois. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. proved that under Illinois law, a viable fetus is an heir and can make a wrongful death claim. John Claxon, III was not yet born when his father died as a result of a vehicle making a U-turn on a Southern Illinois highway without looking properly before doing so. Hupy and Abraham, S.C. represent injured bikers and support bikers’ rights organizations throughout Wisconsin and Illinois and nationally.
