This morning, I am eagerly waiting my 9:30 a.m. status hearing in the law division. Law division is a court where lawsuits are $30,000 and higher. Today, I have a nursing home case where my client is a Defendant that got sued by the nursing home. The Nursing home is suing my client for failure to pay his mother's nursing home bill essentially. Although the nursing home contract clearly stated that my client is not personally liable, the nursing home is suing him. Unfortunately, this occurs often with nursing home contracts. I did not know this until I started representing this client and another client dealing with a breach of contract lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook county by a nursing home.
A status call is essentially going in front of the Judge and giving him or her a status update. Letting them know what are the next steps to get the case ready for trial or settlement. Today, we likely will set up a discovery schedule, which means both sides get a chance to find out what documents and information the other side has for trial.
