Jeff Storms of Storms Dworak LLC teamed up with Jeffrey Montpetit of SiebenCarey on a case, where a South Dakota State Trooper put the plaintiff in an improper “double-chicken-wing,” and slammed head-first to the ground. The plaintiff suffered two lost teeth as a result. The District of South Dakota correctly denied the state trooper’s motion for summary judgment, and the 8th Circuit affirmed that denial. Following the resolution of that appeal, the matter settled for $100,000.
