Description
Rehearing denied November 26, 1974. Dennis Bender, the minor plaintiff in this action, tripped and fell on a broken sidewalk in Chicago, suffering injuries requiring four operations on his right hip at Cook County Hospital, and later treatment at Illinois Research Hospital. Suit was filed in 1965 in the circuit court of Cook County seeking damages for the injuries suffered as the result of the alleged negligence of the defendant, the City of Chicago, in failing to keep the sidewalk in safe repair. In 1967 the Department of Public Aid moved to intervene in the action pursuant to section 8-19 of the Public Assistance Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1965, ch. 23, par. 819), alleging that plaintiff was a recipient of Aid to Dependent Children, that it had paid monies to Cook County Hospital for treatment rendered plaintiff for his injuries and seeking a lien on any recovery from the City in the amount finally paid to the hospital. Leave was granted to intervene, and the amount of aid furnished plaintiff was ultimately determined to be $3,153.78.
