6 Ill. Ct. Cl. 392

Brooks v. State

Court of Claims of Illinois

Decided March 12, 1930

Court of Claims of Illinois · decided 1930-03-12

Decided 1930-03-12

Mr. Chief Justice Clarity

¶1delivered the opinion of the court:

¶2It appears that claimant while in the act of performing his ■ duties as an investigator from the office of William J. Stratton, Secretary of State, in the enforcement of motor vehicle law, while pursuing a stolen car in the City of Chicago and in trying to avoid striking* a child he turned his motorcycle in the sidewalk and was thrown from it and as a result of such fall, he sustained injuries. It appears that claimant is asking for no compensation other than his doctor bills in the ■ sum of Thirty-three ($33.00) Dollars.

¶3It would appear that this is a modest request in view of claims that have been filed herein and that the injuries complained of were suffered in the performance of his duties and that his physician’s bill should be allowed as requested.

¶4It is therefore recommended by this court that claimant be allowed the sum of Thirty-three ($33.00) Dollars.
