Case No. 20-CV-2348

Hon. Young B. Kim,

Magistrate Judge

DECLARATION OF JACOB KAMENIR IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR FINAL APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

I, JACOB KAMENIR, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, hereby declare as follows:

1. I am the Senior Director of Notice at Simpluris, Inc. (“Simpluris”). Simpluris is a 

national full-service class action notice and claims administrator located in Costa Mesa, California. 

2. Simpluris submits this declaration in support of Plaintiff’s Motion for Final 

Approval of Class Action Settlement.

NOTICE ADMINISTRATION

3. As stated in the Declaration of Jacob Kamenir filed on December 1, 2023, the 

Notice Program was designed to use overlapping media channels to reach the maximum number 

of Class Members.

4. CAFA Notice. On December 14, 2023, Simpluris mailed and emailed notifications 

to relevant state Attorneys Generals pursuant to the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 and 28 

U.S.C. § 1715.

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 1 of 33 PageID #:1866

5. Notice Data. To create a mailing list, Simpluris acquired the names and addresses 

of all Class Members who owned or leased residential or commercial property within the Class 

Boundaries on April 11, 2020. Due to technical limitations of geo-locating addresses within the 

specific street and intersection borders of the Class Boundaries, Simpluris acquired the names and 

addresses for individuals who owned or leased property within the 60623 ZIP Code, which is 

somewhat larger than and contains the area within the Class Boundaries.

6. This data acquisition, which occurred on December 29, 2023, resulted in 90,543

records of individuals who owned or leased property on April 11, 2020, associated with 20,415 

unique addresses within the 60623 ZIP Code (“Demo Address”). Upon review of the received

data, it was deemed impractical to parse out the addresses outside of the street and intersection 

borders of the Class Boundaries prior to the initial January 11, 2024, Notice Date due primarily to 

the estimated manual effort involved and the associated risks and potential unintentional exclusion 

of potential Class Members as a result of those manual efforts. Based on the available data, 

Simpluris estimates that 26.9% of the Demo Addresses within the 60623 ZIP Code are outside of 

the Class Boundaries. To ensure direct notice went to as many Class Members as possible, it was 

decided in consultation with Class Counsel that being somewhat overinclusive by sending notice 

to all unique addresses in the relevant zip code was preferrable to being underinclusive. 

7. After additional analysis and standard data hygiene efforts, including updating the 

current mailing address (“Current Address”) information via the USPS National Change of 

Address (“NOCA”) database, processing records through the USPS Coding Accuracy Support 

System (“CASS”) and Locatable Address Conversion System (“LACS”), Simpluris identified 

89,867 records with mailable Current Addresses.

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 2 of 33 PageID #:1867
3

8. As part of this analysis, Simpluris also identified that Lead Plaintiff Juan Rangel 

was not present in the data. Mr. Rangel’s mailing address was acquired via Plaintiff’s Counsel 

and added to the database.

9. On January 11, 2024, Simpluris mailed the Notice of the Settlement to all 89,868

identified mailing records as a double-sided postcard via the United States Postal Service 

(“USPS”). An example of the double-sided postcard is attached here as Exhibit A.

10. Additional Notice Data. The absence of Mr. Rangel’s mailing address in the initial 

data set prompted additional research into whether other records may be missing. Upon 

investigation and review, an additional 1,932 unique records of individuals who owned or leased 

property on April 11, 2020 were located that were previously inadvertently excluded from the 

collection criteria due to consumer-level filtering (i.e. persons who may have elected to not receive 

certain types of mailings).

11. On February 1, 2024, Simpluris mailed the Notice of Settlement to these additional 

1,932 mailing records as a double-sided postcard via the United States Postal Service (“USPS”).

12. As of April 12, 2024, 14,539 Notice of Settlement postcards have been returned to 

Simpluris as undeliverable. Of the pieces returned, 6,698 included forwarding address information 

or were updated with new addresses as a result of skip trace address research and the notices were 

promptly remailed to the updated addresses.

13. By Request Mailings. As of April 12, 2024, Simpluris has mailed 11 Long Form 

Notices to individuals who submitted requests via the toll-free line or email inbox.

14. Door Hangers. Simpluris also implemented an abbreviated form of notice that was 

placed on the doors of all accessible addresses within the Class Boundaries in the form of door 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 3 of 33 PageID #:1868
4

hangers. These door hangers used both English and Spanish to direct Class Members to the 

Settlement Website. A design proof of the door hanger notice is attached here as Exhibit B.

15. Simpluris acquired 30,000 door hangers to be printed and distributed door-to-door 

within the Class Boundaries and scheduled to commence on January 12, 2024. Due to severe local 

weather starting on January 12, 2024, and lasting through the following week, the door hanging 

campaign was not completed until January 16, 2024.

16. Publication Notices. In addition to the above direct notice efforts, Simpluris 

executed the publication notice program including:

a. Press Release. Based on the content of the Notice of Settlement, a Press Release 

was drafted and published on January 11, 2024. The Press Release is attached here 

as Exhibit C.

b. Print Ads. Based on the content of the Notice of Settlement and Long Form 

Notices, print ads were published in English in The Chicago Tribune and in Spanish 

in La Raza on January 11, 2024. The print ads are attached here as Exhibit D.

c. Online Ads. The following campaigns consisted of social media ads and 

programmatic banner ads optimized to drive visitors to the website over the course 

of the claim filing period commenced on January 11, 2024:

i. Facebook/Instagram. As of April 12, 2024, Facebook/Instagram Ads have 

generated 376,702 impressions and 1,108 clicks. An example of a 

Facebook/Instagram ad is attached here as Exhibit E.

ii. Banner Ads. As of April 12, 2024, Banner Ads have generated 66,694 

impressions and 176 clicks. An example of a Banner Ad is attached here as 

Exhibit F.

17. Community Event. Simpluris assisted the coordination of a community event with 

Lead Plaintiff Juan Rangel and Class Counsel. Lead Plaintiff Juan Rangel arranged for the 

community event to be held at St. Agnes of Bohemia, 2651 S Central Park Ave, Chicago, IL 60623 

from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 25, 2024. Class Counsel joined a Simpluris 

representative and two certified translators to engage with churchgoers and community members

to provide information about the Settlement, discuss relevant deadlines and class qualifications, 

and to facilitate online and paper claim filing. 370 online claims and 11 paper claims were filed 

at the community event.

18. Settlement Website. The Settlement Website, www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com, 

was launched on January 11, 2024, and contained a Home page, a Frequently Asked Questions 

page, an Important Documents page providing downloadable documents (including the Class 

Action Complaint, Settlement Agreement, Preliminary Approval Order, Class Boundaries Map, 

Long Form Notice, Long Form Notice (Spanish), Short Form Notice & Claim Form, Claim Form, 

and Claim Form (Spanish)), an Important Documents page, a Contact page, and an accessible and 

prominently displayed online module (the “Submit a Claim” page) for users to electronically 

submit claims. All pages and functionalities were made available in both English and Spanish. 

As of April 12, 2024, there have been 1,318,078 page views and 699,372 unique visitors to the 

Settlement Website.

19. P.O. Box. The Settlement P.O. Box was established prior to January 11, 2024. As 

of April 12, 2024, five (5) correspondences have been received to the Settlement P.O. Box and all 

correspondences requiring a response have been responded to.

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 5 of 33 PageID #:1870

20. Email Inbox. The Settlement email inbox was established prior to January 11, 

2024. As of April 12, 2024, 83 emails have been received and all correspondences requiring a 

response have been responded to.

21. Toll-free Support Line. The Settlement toll-free line was established prior to 

January 11, 2024, and contained an interactive voice recording (IVR) providing answers to 

frequently asked questions and the option to speak with a live agent. As of April 12, 2024, there 

have been 139 calls to the toll-free line and 119 of those calls have been routed to speak with a 

live agent.

22. Claims. Class Members had until March 26, 2024, to submit a claim to the 

Settlement. As described in more detail below, a total of 21,626 valid claim forms were submitted.

The three methods of submission included:

a. Paper Claim Forms. Downloadable English and Spanish 3-page versions of the 

Claim Form were made available on the Settlement Website for Class Members to 

complete and mail to the Settlement P.O. Box (“Paper Claim Form”). As of April 

12, 2024, Simpluris has received 105 timely Paper Claim Form submissions and 

three (3) late Paper Claim Form submissions. Late Paper Claim Form submissions 

are processed as invalid.

i. Of the 105 timely Paper Claim Form submissions, Simpluris processed 75 

as valid and 30 as invalid for Personal Injury Claims. See Paragraph 23 

below for Property Damage claim information.

b. Postcard Claim Forms. The Notice of Settlement double-sided postcard mailings 

contained a tear-away form with pre-paid postage for recipients to complete and 

mail to the Settlement P.O. Box (“Postcard Claim Form”). As of April 12, 2024, 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 6 of 33 PageID #:1871
7

Simpluris has received 3,023 timely Postcard Claim Form submissions and 65 late 

Postcard Claim Form submissions. Late Postcard Claim Form submissions are 

processed as invalid.

i. Of the 3,023 timely Paper Claim Form submissions, Simpluris processed 

2,154 as valid and 869 as invalid for Personal Injury Claims. See Paragraph 

23 below for Property Damage claim information.

c. Online Claim Forms. The Settlement Website contained an English and Spanish 

“Submit a Claim” module for Class Members to electronically complete and submit 

a claim form (“Online Claim Form”). As of April 12, 2024, Simpluris has received 

608,898 timely Online Claim Form submissions. Following the March 26, 2024 

Claims Deadline, the “Submit a Claim” module was closed on the Settlement 

Website.

d. Claims Evaluation and Processing.

i. Although the exact class size is unknown, available data suggests that 

approximately 70,000-100,000 residents live within the Class Boundaries 

See Paragraph 5 above, noting that approximately 74% of the 90,000 plus 

known addresses were within the Class Boundaries; see also Little Village 

Environmental Justice Organization Report1(estimating 100,000 residents). 

The Class also potentially includes individuals who were present within the 

Class Boundaries the day of the implosion but who lived outside of the 

boundaries. Given the timing of the implosion, on a weekend morning soon

after COVID lockdowns were first introduced 2020, we would expect that 

a relatively small number of Class Members fall into the category of visitors 

to the neighborhood, and that the overwhelming number of Class Members 

will be area residents.

ii. As described above, Simpluris carried out the thorough, Court-approved 

notice plan in this case. We are also aware that the case received significant 

media attention.

iii. In addition to the Court-approved notice plan, we have learned that certain 

websites promoting class action settlements highlighted this settlement, 

which provided exposure of the settlement to many individuals who are not 

Class Members. Perhaps because of this exposure, more than 600,000 

claims were filed. 

iv. Notably, Simpluris received 5,243 Online Claim Forms through the first 

three weeks of the claim filing period, averaging approximately 1,700 

claims received per week which projected to an expected total of 

approximately 19,000 claims by the end of the claims filing period. 

However, starting on February 3, Simpluris received a sharp increase in

Online Claim Form Submissions, averaging approximately 45,000 

submissions per week for the next five weeks and approximately 126,000 

submissions in the final three weeks of the claims filing period.

v. Given the estimated population of the Class Boundaries, it is clear that a 

significant number of the claims filed in this case are not valid. Simpluris 

has analyzed the claims to ensure that only valid claims are filed such that 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 8 of 33 PageID #:1873
9

Class Members’ claims are not diluted by payments to non-Class Members. 

This analysis, which is still subject to a quality assurance check, has resulted 

in the following observations and recommendations with respect to the 

claims:

1. Invalid Claims. Of the 608,898 submitted Online Claim Forms, 

Simpluris processed 425,147 claims as facially invalid for Personal 

Injury Claims and 164,354 claims as invalid for Personal Injury 

Claims due to fraud prevention measures.

a. The disqualifying characteristic of facially invalid claims is 

the claimed or inferred Demo Address. If a claimant 

provided only a current mailing address, and that current 

mailing address is located outside of the Class Boundaries, 

then their claim is deemed facially invalid. Moreover, if a 

claimant explicitly provided an address that they resided at

on April 11, 2020, and that address is located outside of the 

Class Boundaries, then their claim is deemed facially 

invalid.

b. The disqualifying characteristic of claims invalided due to 

fraud prevention measures is the identification of multiple 

“suspect” data points provided within a single claim and in 

relation to other submissions. Data points considered as part 

of the multi-factor process include claimant name(s), 

mailing addresses, email addresses, IP addresses, uniqueness 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 9 of 33 PageID #:1874
10

of or frequency of claimed addresses, accuracy and detail of 

claimed addresses, and time/method of submission. 

Moreover, none of the claims invalidated due to fraud 

prevention measures are able to be matched to an original 

double-postcard notice mailing. Two example scenarios of 

claims invalided as part of this process include:

i. ~77k claims identified with suspect name, mailing 

address, and email combinations that were identified 

to have been submitted with the same Demo Address 

nine or more times (for these purposes, a multi-unit 

building would be counted as multiple separate 

addresses). ~9k of these claims were associated with 

20 or more submissions with identical Demo 

Addresses, with the highest frequency submission 

topping out at 76 submissions.

ii. Clusters of 20-30 claims that submitted on the same 

day with identical property damage descriptions 

(exact full sentence/paragraph matching) but 

differing claimed Demo Addresses.

2. Facially Valid Claims. Of the 608,898 submitted Online Claim 

Forms, Simpluris processed 19,397 claims as valid. These claims 

include a claimed Demo Address that is within the Class Boundaries 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 10 of 33 PageID #:1875
11

and/or are directly linked to an original postcard notice mailing. See

Paragraph 23 below for Property Damage claim information.

23. Property Damage Claims. Of the 21,626 claims processed as valid, 745 include a 

Property Damage Claim, totaling approximately $2.39 million of claimed property damage. 45 of 

these 745 claims, totaling approximately $609,000.00 of claimed property damage, included

supporting documentation along with the required description of property damages. Simpluris is 

currently reviewing these claims and anticipates final dispositions to be available by April 22, 

2024.

24. Quality Assurance. Along with finalizing Property Damage Claims processing, 

Simpluris is expected to finalize standard de-duplication and quality assurance measures by April 

22, 2024. The claim-related counts and figures in Paragraphs 22 and 23 are not expected to change 

substantially, or at all, as a result of quality assurance measures.

25. Holdback to supplement claims analysis and quality assurance check. As noted 

above, Simpluris has conducted a significant amount of work to ensure that all Class Members 

who filed valid claims will receive payment in this case. Given the significant volume of claims, 

it is possible that some valid claims might have inadvertently been deemed invalid, including 

claims for Class Members who did not live within the Class Boundaries but were present on April 

11, 2020. To account for that possibility, Simpluris, with Class Counsel’s approval, recommends 

holding back $50,000.00 from the initial distribution to Class Members. This money would be 

used to satisfy personal injury claims, if any, from Class Members who contact Simpluris and 

provide evidence that their claim was improperly denied. The holdback will reduce each Class 

Member’s payment by just over $2.00, and it will allow for up approximately 185 additional Class 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 11 of 33 PageID #:1876
12

Members to potentially receive payment based on the current estimated value of a personal injury 

claims.

26. Opt Outs. Class members had until February 26, 2024, to file an Opt Out to the 

Settlement. As of April 12, 2024, thirteen (13) opt outs have been received by Simpluris.

27. Objections. Class Members had until February 26, 2024, to file an Objection to the 

Settlement. As of April 12, 2024, no Objections have been received by Simpluris.

28. Settlement Administration Expenses. Simpluris’s final estimation of Settlement 

Administration Expenses is $291,097.00. Categorical breakdowns of estimated total costs here:

Case Setup $ 6,320.00 

Notice and Communications $ 143,842.00 

Inbound Call Center $ 11,186.00 

Administration $ 104,033.00 

Award Disbursement $ 34,661.00 

Case Completion $ 1,055.00 

Less Unexpected Volume Discount $ (10,000.00)

Estimated Total Settlement Administration Expenses $ 291,097.00 

29. This final estimate of total costs is an increase of $2,122.00 from the previous 

estimate provided in Simpluris’s Declaration of Jacob Kamenir in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion 

for Attorney’s Fees and Reimbursement of Costs filed on February 9, 2024. The price increase 

was driven by the continued increase in volume of received claims and the associated custom fraud 

prevention measures and mass claim protocols deployed to ensure efficient processing of claims.

30. Current expected value of personal injury claims. As noted above, analysis 

continues with respect to the value of valid property damage claims. Assuming that the full 

$1,000,000.00 allocated to property-damage claims is exhausted by valid claims for property 

damage, Simpluris estimates that each claimant who submitted a valid personal injury claim will 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 12 of 33 PageID #:1877
13

receive approximately $270.00. This assumes that the Court grants Plaintiffs’ request for 

attorney’s fees, incentive awards, and expenses and was calculated using the following formula: 

Gross Fund Value (GFV) $ 12,250,000.00 

Less Litigation Expenses $ (85,709.70)

Less Settlement Administration Expenses $ (291,097.00)

Amount available to Class after Litigation and Settlement 

Administration Expenses $ 11,873,193.30 

Less Fee Award (1/3rd of GFV after deducting Litigation and 

Settlement Administration Expenses) $ (3,957,731.10)

Less Incentive Awards $ (15,000.00)

Less (Estimated) Amount allocated to Property Damage Claims $ (1,000,000.00)

Less Proposed Holdback $ (50,000.00)

(Estimated) Amount available for Personal Injury Class $ 6,850,462.20 

(Estimated) Amount per Personal Injury Claim (assuming 21,626 

valid claims) $ 316.77 

31. Simpluris anticipates that payment to Class Members will be sent within 60 days 

of the Effective Date of the Settlement.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Exhibit A

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 14 of 33 PageID #:1879
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Hilco Redevelopment, LLC, HRE Crawford, LLC, and HRP Exchange 55, LLC 

(collectively, “Hilco”), MCM Management Corp., Controlled Demolition, Inc., and Marine Technology Solutions LLC (“Defendants”) acted improperly and 

caused damage when they demolished a smokestack on April 11, 2020, at the former Crawford Coal Plant, which was located at 3501 S. Pulaski Rd., Chicago, IL 

60623. The settlement doesn’t decide who is right, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit and avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with a trial.

Why am I being contacted? The settlement allows individuals who were present, or owned real or personal property within the following boundaries on April 

11, 2020 to file a claim for payment from the settlement: from 33rd St. and Kedzie Avenue, west to 33rd St. and Kilbourn Avenue, north to Kilbourn Avenue and 

Cermak Road, east to Cermak Road and Ogden Avenue, northeast to Ogden Avenue and California Avenue, south to 26th St. and California Avenue, west to 26th 

St. and Sacramento Avenue, south to Sacramento Avenue and 31st St., west to 31st St. and Kedzie Avenue, south to 33rd St. & Kedzie Avenue. These boundaries 

are known as the Class Boundaries. Our records indicate that you may have lived in or owned real or personal property within the Class Boundaries on April 11, 

2020, and therefore you may have the right to share in the settlement. More information about the class and the settlement is available at 

www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

What can I get out of the settlement? If the Court approves the settlement, Class Members who submit valid claims will receive a cash payment from the 

Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund is $12,250,000.00. The settlement provides for two separate Classes. One is for individuals who were present in the Class 

Boundaries on April 11, 2020, and therefore are presumed to have suffered personal injuries. The second is for individuals who file a valid claim for damage to 

their real or personal property and are entitled to recover the value of the actual documented damages, subject to a pro rata reduction if the total amount of property 

claims exceed $1,000,000.00. Individuals who file valid personal injury claims will be paid a pro rata share of the remaining funds available to the class, which 

are estimated to be at least $7,000,000.00.

How do I get my payment? You just need to complete and verify a short and simple Claim Form, which is attached and available at 

www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com. The Claim Form has two options. Select the first option if you want to file a claim for personal injury. The claim form does 

not require additional proof to recover for personal injury. Select the second option if want to file a claim for property damage. You will need to provide some 

evidence to support your claim for property damage, such as receipts or a detailed description of the property damage. If your property was damaged and you also 

qualify for a personal injury claim, you may select both options. You may later be asked to provide additional documents or information to support your claim. 

All Claim Forms must be received by March 26, 2024. You may also submit a claim form in person at a community outreach event. Please call 877-272-4962

or check the Class website, www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com, for details about when and where these events will take place. The Class website also has more 

information about the timing for payment of claims.

What are my options? You can do nothing, submit a Claim Form, comment on or object to any of the Settlement terms, or exclude yourself from the Settlement. 

If you do nothing or submit a Claim Form, you won’t be able to sue Defendants in a future lawsuit about the claims resolved in the Settlement. If you exclude 

yourself, you won’t get a payment but you’ll keep your right to sue Defendants on the issues the Settlement resolves. You must contact the Claims Administrator 

by mail to exclude yourself. You can also object to the Settlement if you disagree with any of its terms. All Requests for Exclusion and Objections must be

received by February 26, 2024. Go to www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com for complete details about all of your rights and options and how to exercise them.

Who represents me? The Court has appointed lawyers from the firm Loevy & Loevy to represent you as “Class Counsel.” The lawyers will request to be paid 

from the Settlement Fund. You can hire your own lawyer, but you’ll need to pay your own legal fees. Antonio Solis, Jose Solis, and Juan Rangel – class members 

like you – have been appointed by the Court as the “Class Representatives.”

When will the Court approve the settlement? The Court will hold a final approval hearing on April 22, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. before the Honorable Judge Sunil R. 

Harjani in Courtroom 1858 of the Dirksen United States Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 60604. The Court will hear objections, determine if the 

settlement is fair, and consider Class Counsel’s request for fees and expenses of up to $4,250,000.00 and incentive awards, which if granted, will be paid out of 

the Settlement Fund. Class Counsels’ request for fees and an incentive award will be posted on www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

This notice summarizes the proposed Settlement. For the precise terms and conditions of the settlement, please see the Settlement Agreement available at 

www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com, contact Class Counsel at 312-243-5900, through the Court’s online electronic full case docket search at ecf.ilnd.uscourts.gov, 

or visit the office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Everett McKinley Dirksen United States Courthouse, 219 S. 

Dearborn St. Chicago, IL 60604, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

Solis, et al. v. Hilco Redevelopment LLC, et al.

No. 20-cv-02348 (N.D. Ill.)

A court authorized this notice. You are not being sued. 

This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

A settlement has been reached in a case brought after the April 11, 

2020, demolition of the Crawford Coal Plant. The settlement 

allows individuals who were present, or owned real or personal 

property, in the affected area to file a claim and receive a cash 

payment. These people are called the Class, or Class Members.

If you lived here on April 11, 2020, you are a Class Member and 

have the right to file a claim and get a share of the settlement as a 

cash payment.

If your property was damaged by the demolition, you may also have

the right to a larger cash payment.

You must file a claim to receive a cash payment.

There is absolutely no cost to participate in the settlement or submit 

a claim. You do not have to hire a lawyer because the court has 

already appointed the law firm of Loevy & Loevy to represent the 

Class, at no cost to you.

Community outreach events will be held nearby to answer your 

questions and help you file your claim. Spanish translators will be 

available at the community outreach events. The times, dates, and 

locations for these events will be posted on the class website:

www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com

Complete information about this settlement, your rights, and your 

options are also available on the class website in English and

affected area.

A court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Simpluris Inc. announces that a proposed

settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Hilco Redevelopment, LLC,

HRE Crawford, LLC, and HRP Exchange 55, LLC (collectively, "Hilco"), MCM Management Corp.,

Controlled Demolition, Inc., and Marine Technology Solutions LLC ("Defendants") acted

improperly and caused damage when they demolished a smokestack on April 11, 2020, at the

former Crawford Coal Plant, which was located at 3501 S. Pulaski Rd., Chicago, IL 60623. The

settlement doesn't decide who is right, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit and

avoid the uncertainties and costs associated with a trial.



Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 21 of 33 PageID #:1886
The settlement allows individuals who were present, or owned real or personal property within

the following boundaries on April 11, 2020 to file a claim for payment from the settlement: fr

33rd St. and Kedzie Avenue, west to 33rd St. and Kilbourn Avenue, north to Kilbourn Avenue

and Cermak Road, east to Cermak Road and Ogden Avenue, northeast to Ogden Avenue and

California Avenue, south to 26th St. and California Avenue, west to 26th St. and Sacramento

Avenue, south to Sacramento Avenue and 31st St., west to 31st St. and Kedzie Avenue, south to

33rd St. & Kedzie Avenue. These boundaries are known as the Class Boundaries. More

information about the class and the settlement is available at

www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

What can I get out of the settlement? If the Court approves the settlement, Class Members

who submit valid claims will receive a cash payment from the Settlement Fund. The

Settlement Fund is $12,250,000.00. The settlement provides for two separate Classes. One is for

individuals who were present in the Class Boundaries on April 11, 2020, and therefore are

presumed to have suffered personal injuries. The second is for individuals who file a valid cla

for damage to their real or personal property and are entitled to recover the value of the actual

documented damages, subject to a pro rata reduction if the total amount of property claims

exceed $1,000,000.00. Individuals who file valid personal injury claims will be paid a pro ra

share of the remaining funds available to the class, which are estimated to be at least

$7,000,000.00.

How do I get my payment? You just need to complete and verify a short and simple Claim

Form, which is available at www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com. The Claim Form has two

options. Select the first option if you want to file a claim for personal injury. The claim 

does not require additional proof to recover for personal injury. Select the second option if

want to file a claim for property damage. You will need to provide some evidence to suppo

your claim for property damage, such as receipts or a detailed description of the property

damage. If your property was damaged and you also qualify for a personal injury claim, you

may select both options. You may later be asked to provide additional documents or

information to support your claim. All Claim Forms must be received by March 26, 2024. You

may also submit a claim form in person at a community outreach event. Please call 877-272-

4962 or check the Class website, www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com, for details about when

and where these events will take place. The Class website also has more information about the

timing for payment of claims. 

Case: 1:20-cv-02348 Document #: 262-4 Filed: 04/15/24 Page 22 of 33 PageID #:1887
What are my options? You can do nothing, submit a Claim Form, comment on or object to any

of the Settlement terms, or exclude yourself from the Settlement. If you do nothing or submit a

Claim Form, you won't be able to sue Defendants in a future lawsuit about the claims resolved

in the Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you won't get a payment but you'll keep your right to

sue Defendants on the issues the Settlement resolves. You must contact the Claims

Administrator by mail to exclude yourself. You can also object to the Settlement if you disagree

with any of its terms. All Requests for Exclusion and Objections must be received by February

26, 2024. Go to www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com for complete details about all of your rights

and options and how to exercise them.

Who represents me? The Court has appointed lawyers from the firm Loevy & Loevy to represe

you as "Class Counsel." The lawyers will request to be paid from the Settlement Fund. You can

hire your own lawyer, but you'll need to pay your own legal fees. Antonio Solis, Jose Solis, and

Juan Rangel – class members like you – have been appointed by the Court as the "Class

Representatives."

When will the Court approve the settlement? The Court will hold a final approval hearing 

April 22, 2024 at 9:30 a.m. before the Honorable Judge Sunil R. Harjani in Courtroom 1858 of

the Dirksen United States Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 60604. The Court will hear

objections, determine if the settlement is fair, and consider Class Counsel's request for fees and

expenses of up to $4,250,000.00 and incentive awards, which if granted, will be paid out of the

Settlement Fund. Class Counsels' request for fees and an incentive award will be posted on

www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

LEGAL NOTICE

If you or your property were impacted by the demolition of the smokestack

at the former Crawford Coal Plant in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood

in April 2020, you may be entitled to a cash payment.

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that Hilco Redevelopment,

LLC, HRE Crawford, LLC, and HRP Exchange 55, LLC (collectively, “Hilco”), MCM Management Corp.,

Controlled Demolition, Inc., and Marine Technology Solutions LLC (“Defendants”) acted improperly and

caused damage when they demolished a smokestack on April 11, 2020, at the former Crawford Coal

Plant, which was located at 3501 S. Pulaski Rd., Chicago, IL 60623. The settlement doesn’t decide

who is right, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit and avoid the uncertainties and costs

associated with a trial.

The settlement allows individuals who were present, or owned real or personal property within the

following boundaries on April 11, 2020 to file a claim for payment from the settlement: from 33rd St.

and Kedzie Avenue, west to 33rd St. and Kilbourn Avenue, north to Kilbourn Avenue and Cermak Road,

east to Cermak Road and Ogden Avenue, northeast to Ogden Avenue and California Avenue, south to

26th St. and California Avenue, west to 26th St. and Sacramento Avenue, south to Sacramento Avenue

and 31st St., west to 31st St. and Kedzie Avenue, south to 33rd St. & Kedzie Avenue. These boundaries

are known as the Class Boundaries. More information about the class and the settlement is available

at www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

What can I get out of the settlement? If the Court approves the settlement, Class Members who

submit valid claims will receive a cash payment from the Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund is

$12,250,000.00. The settlement provides for two separate Classes. One is for individuals who were

present in the Class Boundaries on April 11, 2020, and therefore are presumed to have suffered

personal injuries. The second is for individuals who file a valid claim for damage to their real or

personal property and are entitled to recover the value of the actual documented damages, subject to

a pro rata reduction if the total amount of property claims exceed $1,000,000.00. Individuals who file

valid personal injury claims will be paid a pro rata share of the remaining funds available to the class,

which are estimated to be at least $7,000,000.00.

How do I get my payment? You just need to complete and verify a short and simple Claim Form,

which is available at www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com. The Claim Form has two options. Select

the first option if you want to file a claim for personal injury. The claim form does not require additional

proof to recover for personal injury. Select the second option if want to file a claim for property

damage. You will need to provide some evidence to support your claim for property damage, such

as receipts or a detailed description of the property damage. If your property was damaged and you

also qualify for a personal injury claim, you may select both options. You may later be asked to provide

additional documents or information to support your claim. All Claim Forms must be received by

March 26, 2024. You may also submit a claim form in person at a community outreach event. Please

call 877-272-4962 or check the Class website, www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com, for details

about when and where these events will take place. The Class website also has more information

about the timing for payment of claims.

What are my options? You can do nothing, submit a Claim Form, comment on or object to any of the

Settlement terms, or exclude yourself from the Settlement. If you do nothing or submit a Claim Form,

you won’t be able to sue Defendants in a future lawsuit about the claims resolved in the Settlement.

If you exclude yourself, you won’t get a payment but you’ll keep your right to sue Defendants on the

issues the Settlement resolves. You must contact the Claims Administrator by mail to exclude yourself.

You can also object to the Settlement if you disagree with any of its terms. All Requests for Exclusion

and Objections must be received by February 26, 2024. Go to www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com

for complete details about all of your rights and options and how to exercise them.

Who represents me? The Court has appointed lawyers from the firm Loevy & Loevy to represent you

as “Class Counsel.” The lawyers will request to be paid from the Settlement Fund. You can hire your

own lawyer, but you’ll need to pay your own legal fees. Antonio Solis, Jose Solis, and Juan Rangel –

class members like you – have been appointed by the Court as the “Class Representatives.”

When will the Court approve the settlement? The Court will hold a final approval hearing on April 22,

2024 at 9:30 a.m. before the Honorable Judge Sunil R. Harjani in Courtroom 1858 of the Dirksen United

States Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, 60604. The Court will hear objections, determine if the

settlement is fair, and consider Class Counsel’s request for fees and expenses of up to $4,250,000.00

and incentive awards, which if granted, will be paid out of the Settlement Fund. Class Counsels’ request

for fees and an incentive award will be posted on www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.

AVISO LEGAL

Si usted o sus bienes se vieron afectados por la demolición de la chimenea de la antigua Planta de 

Carbón de Crawford, en el barrio Little Village de Chicago, en abril de 2020, es posible que tenga 

derecho a un pago en efectivo.

Se ha llegado a una propuesta de acuerdo de conciliación en una demanda colectiva que alega que 

Hilco Redevelopment, LLC, HRE Crawford, LLC y HRP Exchange 55, LLC (en forma conjunta, “Hilco”),

MCM Management Corp., Controlled Demolition, Inc. y Marine Technology Solutions LLC (“Demandados”) actuaron de forma indebida y ocasionaron daños al demoler una chimenea el 11 de abril 

de 2020, en la antigua Planta de Carbón de Crawford que estaba ubicada en 3501 S. Pulaski Rd.,

Chicago, IL 60623. En el acuerdo de conciliación no se decide quién tiene razón, sino que constituye 

un compromiso para poner fi n a la demanda y evitar las incertidumbres y los costos de un juicio.

El acuerdo de conciliación permite que las personas físicas que el 11 de abril de 2020 hayan estado

presentes o hubieran sido propietarias de bienes muebles o inmuebles dentro de los límites indicados 

presenten una reclamación para obtener un pago en virtud del acuerdo de conciliación. Los límites son 

los siguientes: desde 33rd St. y Kedzie Avenue, al oeste hasta 33rd St. y Kilbourn Avenue, al norte hasta 

Kilbourn Avenue y Cermak Road, al este hasta Cermak Road y Ogden Avenue, al noreste hasta Ogden 

Avenue y California Avenue, al sur hasta 26th St. y California Avenue, al oeste hasta 26th St. y Sacramento Avenue, al sur hasta Sacramento Avenue y 31st St., al oeste hasta 31st St. y Kedzie Avenue, al 

sur hasta 33rd St. y Kedzie Avenue. Estos límites se denominan Límites del Grupo de Demandantes.

En www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com encontrará más información sobre el grupo de demandantes y el 

acuerdo de conciliación. ¿Qué puedo recibir del acuerdo de conciliación? Si el Tribunal aprueba el acuerdo de conciliación,

los Miembros del Grupo de Demandantes que presenten reclamaciones válidas recibirán un pago en

efectivo con cargo al Fondo del Acuerdo de Conciliación. El Fondo del Acuerdo de Conciliación es de

$12,250,000.00. El acuerdo de conciliación dispone dos Grupo de Demandantes separados. Uno es 

para las personas físicas que se encontraban dentro de los Límites del Grupo de Demandantes el 11 de 

abril de 2020 y, por tanto, se presume que han sufrido daños personales. El segundo es para las personas físicas que presenten una reclamación válida por daños a sus bienes muebles o inmuebles y tengan 

derecho a recuperar el valor de los daños reales justificados, sujeto a una reducción prorrateada si el 

monto total de las reclamaciones por bienes supera el $1,000,000.00. A las personas físicas que presenten reclamaciones por daños personales válidas se les pagará una parte proporcional de los fondos 

restantes disponibles para el grupo de demandantes, que se estiman en al menos $7,000,000.00.

¿Cómo recibo mi pago? Solo tiene que completar y confi rmar un breve y simple Formulario de Reclamación que se encuentra disponible en www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com. En el Formulario de Reclamación se ofrecen dos opciones. Seleccione la primera opción si desea presentar una reclamación por 

daños personales. El formulario de reclamación no requiere pruebas adicionales para obtener el pago

por daños personales. Seleccione la segunda opción si desea presentar una reclamación por daños 

materiales. Deberá aportar alguna prueba que respalde su reclamación por daños materiales, como 

recibos o una descripción detallada de los daños que sufrieron sus bienes. Si sus bienes resultaron 

dañados y también tiene derecho a una reclamación por daños personales, debe seleccionar ambas 

opciones. Más adelante se le pedirá que aporte documentos o información adicionales para respaldar su 

reclamación. Todos los Formularios de Reclamación se deben recibir antes del 26 de marzo de 2024.

También puede presentar un formulario de reclamación de forma personal en un evento de divulgación 

comunitaria. Llame al 877-272-4962 o visite el sitio web del Grupo de Demandantes, www. LittleVillageSmokestack.com, para obtener más información sobre el lugar y la fecha en que se llevarán 

a cabo estos eventos. En el sitio web del Grupo de Demandantes también se ofrece más información 

sobre el calendario de pagos de las reclamaciones.¿Cuáles son mis opciones? Usted puede elegir 

no hacer nada, presentar un Formulario de Reclamación, comentar u objetar cualquiera de los términos 

del Acuerdo de Conciliación o bien excluirse de este. Si elige no hacer nada o presenta un Formulario de 

Reclamación, no podrá demandar a los Demandados en una demanda posterior respecto de las mismas 

reclamaciones que se resuelven mediante el Acuerdo de Conciliación. Si opta por excluirse, no recibirá 

un pago, pero conservará su derecho a demandar a los Demandados en relación con los asuntos 

que se resuelven mediante el Acuerdo de Conciliación. Debe comunicarse por correo postal con el 

Administrador de Reclamaciones para excluirse. Asimismo, puede objetar el Acuerdo de Conciliación si 

no está de acuerdo con alguno de sus términos. Todas las Solicitudes de Exclusión y las Objeciones se 

deben recibir a más tardar para el 26 de febrero de 2024. Visite www.LittleVillageSmokeStack.com para 

consultar los detalles completos sobre sus derechos y opciones, y sobre cómo ejercerlos.

¿Quién me representa? El Tribunal designó a abogados del bufete Loevy & Loevy para que lo/la 

representen en calidad de “Abogados del Grupo de Demandantes”. Los abogados solicitarán un pago 

con cargo al Fondo del Acuerdo de Conciliación. Usted puede contratar su propio abogado, pero tendrá 

que pagar sus propios honorarios judiciales. Antonio Solis, Jose Solis y Juan Rangel —que son miembros del grupo de demandantes al igual que usted— fueron designados “Representantes del Grupo”

por el Tribunal. ¿Cuándo aprobará el Tribunal el acuerdo de conciliación? El Tribunal celebrará 

una audiencia de aprobación defi nitiva el 22 de abril de 2024 a las 9:30 a. m., ante el honorable juez 

Sunil R. Harjani, en la sala 1858 de Dirksen United States Courthouse, 219 S. Dearborn St., Chicago,

60604. El Tribunal escuchará las objeciones, decidirá si el acuerdo de conciliación es justo, y considerará la solicitud de honorarios y gastos de hasta $4,250,000.00 presentada por los Abogados del 

Grupo y de retribuciones de incentivo que, si se conceden, se pagarán con cargo al Fondo del Acuerdo 

de Conciliación. La solicitud de honorarios de los Abogados del Grupo y la retribución de incentivo se 

publicarán en www.LittleVillageSmokestack.com.
