Sanke v. Bechina

Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided July 30, 1991No. 2-90-1164PublishedCited by 41 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Dunn

Plaintiffs, William and Margaret Sanke, appeal the dismissal of counts IV through VIII of their second amended complaint for failure to state a cause of action. Plaintiffs alleged defendant Bechina acted in concert, aided and abetted, civilly conspired and willfully and wantonly participated in the wrongful conduct of codefendant Richard Schwartz, and as such was the proximate cause of the death of their daughter, Heather Sanke. On appeal, plaintiffs argue their second amended complaint states facts sufficient to support this cause of action. We agree. Accordingly, we reverse and remand.
