CHICAGO - TelAve -- The Kryder Law Group, LLC today announced the resolution of two motor vehicle accident cases totaling $975,000. Both results reflect the firm's steady commitment to holding negligent drivers accountable and recovering full and fair compensation for injured clients across Illinois and the Midwest—even when the at-fault driver's insurance falls short.

In the first case, the plaintiff was rear-ended on southbound 1-94, a Chicago freeway, near Dolton Avenue. The crash caused neck and back injuries that required surgery, pain management injections, and physical therapy. We secured a $875,000 recovery—a $50,000 policy limit settlement from the defendant's insurance, plus an additional $825,000 from the client's own underinsured motorist coverage.

In the second case, a client was struck head-on by a drunk driver on I-88 near mile post 90 in DeKalb, Illinois. The client suffered chest pain requiring physical therapy, along with complications from a pre-existing condition that required surgery. The firm settled the case for $100,000—$25,000 from the defendant's policy and $75,000 from the client's underinsured motorist coverage. This case underscores the value of thoroughly investigating intoxication evidence, including tracing where alcohol was consumed. Identifying additional coverage sources, such as a Dram Shop claim, can significantly increase a client's recovery. While the evidence here did not support a Dram Shop claim, a skilled personal injury attorney should always explore that possibility.

Both results highlight a tool many injured people overlook: underinsured motorist coverage. When a negligent driver carries only minimum insurance, that coverage can be the difference between a token payout and a recovery that reflects the true cost of an injury. By pursuing every available source of compensation and preparing each case with care, the firm put both clients in the strongest possible position to move forward.

"Our job is to look beyond the obvious and find every dollar our clients are owed.
