Plaintiff, an elderly woman, was attending a street festival in Little Italy in Chicago, when youth from a school running club ran by causing one to bump into plaintiff. Plaintiff fell, and a police officer arrived on the scene, described her injuries as serious and helped transport plaintiff to a hospital. Plaintiff then brought suit against the city and the community organization who hosted the event. Daniel P Costello & Associates took over defense of the community organization. Dan Costello knew that the community organization was not responsible for the runners as they were legally allowed into the event, and pointed to the event organizer as having the duty to the plaintiff in this situation. Attorneys Dan Costello and Donna Rizzuto prepared a motion for summary judgment, and plaintiff, realizing the community organization was not at fault, dismissed them from the case and proceeded against the other defendants.
