Family of alleged Bulger victim to get day in court

Lawyer Blogs

Another family of a man allegedly ordered killed by Whitey Bulger may be able to win damages against the FBI without going through a trial.

On February 19, U.S. District Court Judge Reginald Lindsay will consider a motion for summary judgment by the widow of Richard Castucci.

Bulger allegedly had the 48-year-old Castucci killed in 1976 because he told the FBI about the hiding place of 2 fellow gangsters. Bulger allegedly learned about Castucci from rogue FBI agent John Connolly.

Lindsay scheduled the Castucci hearing last week, right after he ruled the federal government liable for the 1982 murders of Edward Brian Halloran and Michael Donahue.

Halloran was allegedly murdered by Bulger after Connolly told him Halloran was going to implicate him in a murder. Donahue was an innocent bystander.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
