Chicago committee approves settlement for teen in crash during CPD chase
CHICAGO -- The family of a boy left severely disabled following a crash involving Chicago Police is set to receive a $45 million lawsuit.The settlement for the family of 15-year-old Nathen Jones was approved Monday by the City Council Finance Committee. Jones, who – according to a lawsuit filed in Cook County in 2022 – suffered a traumatic brain injury in the crash, and needs 24/7 care.The $45 million is an estimate for medical costs for the rest of Jones' life.
When the driver didn't stop, police chased the Volkswagen for several blocks as the driver ran several stop lights and stop signs, before crashing into a 2007 Toyota Yaris at the intersection of Grand and Damen avenues, causing Jones to suffer 'catastrophic' and permanent injuries, according to the lawsuit.Now, Jones can no longer walk, talk, or control his bowel movements. His family is responsible for his around-the-clock care.
