What is the name of your state? Illinois
Okay - I'm judgemental. I just need an opinion - hopefully a semi-professional or professional one. Long story short, my daughter, age 18, was arrested for underage drinking and taken to the police dept for booking or whatever they do there. She posted bond, called her boyfriend's mother for a ride home (they impounded her car) and the officer took her to the lobby to wait for her ride. The police officer that stayed with her ( time unknown) was called away for another reason and shortly after that my daughter decided to leave the police station and started walking to the tavern she was previously at and made it five blocks down the road before she was struck by a car and died two days later. Incidentally her BAL was 1.8. The police deny responsibility because they said she was an adult at 18 years of age and had to let her go because she posted bond. Btw, I have hired an attorney regarding this matter (it happened 3 years ago) and have not been given alot of hope because of the Tort Immunity Act. Opinion(s) please.
