(Vocus/PRWEB ) May 28, 2010 -- William T. Gibbs, a personal injury attorney at the law firm of Corboy & Demetrio, has been elected to serve on the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation Advisory Board. The Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, is dedicated to honoring the lives and memories of police officers. Its mission is to provide support and assistance to the families of Chicago Police Officers who have been killed or injured in the line of duty.
"I am highly honored to have been elected to serve on the Advisory Board of the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation," said Gibbs. "Under the guidance of Executive Director, Philip Cline, the Foundation has done exceptional work on behalf of police officers' families. I look forward to serving on the Board and hope my contributions will help further the goals and mission of this outstanding organization."
At Corboy & Demetrio, Gibbs concentrates his practice on cases involving aviation negligence, automobile collisions, construction negligence, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability, and railroad negligence. He has obtained several record-setting and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements on behalf of his clients. Recently, with Corboy & Demetrio partners, Tom Demetrio and Dan Kotin, he helped obtain a $29.6 million verdict on behalf of a woman who was seriously injured in the derailment of a Metra train. The verdict is the largest in Illinois for an individual injured in a mass transit crash. In a Federal District Court case, he obtained a $6.6 million verdict for a family injured in an automobile collision. It was the largest verdict ever in that Court.
He is a member of numerous legal organizations including the American Association for Justice, Illinois Trial Lawyers Association, the Chicago Bar Association and the Notre Dame Law Association. Gibbs recently authored an article, "A Quick Guide to the Illinois Dead Man’s Act," which was published in the Illinois Bar Journal, a publication of the Illinois State Bar Association. He was named one of the 2009 “40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty to Watch” by the Law Bulletin Publishing Company and in 2009 and 2010, was designated an Illinois Super Lawyer Rising Star.
