About Timothy Ashe
Timothy J. Ashe has practiced law for more than 36 years in Illinois state and federal courts at both the trial and appellate levels.

He later joined Cassiday, Schade and Gloor LLP, where he served on the executive committee and chaired the appellate department, representing both physicians and hospitals as well as injured patients.

He has also lectured widely on legal topics and authored published materials on appellate procedure. His major results include a $20 million settlement for a two-year-old who sustained severe brain damage during routine surgery, a $10.9 million settlement for the widow of an Illinois State Trooper killed in a trucking collision, and a $3.3 million verdict for a roofer injured at a hospital construction site.
Proven verdicts and settlements
In December 2011 a 2-year-old boy went into cardiac arrest after surgery at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County to repair an undescended testicle. Doctors and nurses did not notice that his heart had stopped for about five minutes before starting CPR. The oxygen loss left him with permanent brain damage; he cannot walk or speak and needs round-the-clock nursing care. On February 5, 2013, the Cook County Board approved a $20 million settlement of the malpractice suit his mother filed, one of the largest in county history. Timothy Ashe represented the family.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
