More than $35 million recovered in documented personal injury and wrongful death matters.
Since 1977, Parker & Parker has represented Illinois clients across hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death matters. The recoveries below reflect documented settlements and verdicts from our firm’s records.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is different. Results shown are gross recoveries before attorney fees, litigation costs, medical liens, and case expenses unless otherwise noted. Some settlements are confidential and are not listed. All matters are anonymized.
By the numbers
A practice measured in matters, decades, and verdicts.
Tazewell County, 2022. Our client suffered serious injuries when a commercial truck driver collided with their vehicle at a rural intersection. The defense disputed liability for seven years. We pursued cell-phone forensic evidence, accident reconstruction, and coordinated negotiation across multiple corporate defendants and insurance carriers. The case settled with a structured-settlement component and Medicare set-aside compliance.
A wrongful death motor-vehicle collision involving multiple claimants. The firm secured all available insurance coverage — the at-fault driver’s base liability policy plus the umbrella policy.
$1,000,000
Nursing Home Wrongful Death
January 2026. Recovery on behalf of the estate and surviving family arising from preventable neglect in a central Illinois nursing home.

Wrongful Death (Structured Settlement)
Wrongful death matter resolved through a structured-settlement annuity providing long-term financial security to surviving family members.

$550,000
Auto Accident, Multi-Defendant

$223,421
Auto accident, multi-defendant resolution
$160,000
Personal injury — disputed liability
$102,096
Auto accident with extended litigation and lien resolution
Resolution of these matters includes recoveries at full available policy limits, multi-defendant settlements, disputed-liability recoveries, jury verdicts, underinsured- and uninsured-motorist coverage claims, drunk-driver-caused crashes, and pedestrians struck while crossing streets.
Robert Parker has handled hundreds of trials across the full range of matters the firm has taken on over the decades — personal injury, wrongful death, criminal defense, family and divorce, and other matters. He continues that trial-prepared approach in his current personal injury, wrongful death, and nursing home neglect practice. Insurance carriers know our firm takes cases to verdict when settlement offers do not reflect case value. Several of the recoveries above came after initial offers of a fraction of the final settlement.
02
We pursue every responsible party.
When liability is shared, we coordinate claims against all carriers — recoveries can exceed any single-defendant policy limit, sometimes substantially.
03
We prosecute complex damage claims.
Future medical care, structured settlements, Medicare set-asides, and minor’s-settlement court approvals are routine work for us.
04
Direct attorney representation.
Clients work directly with the firm’s attorneys throughout the litigation, in a small-firm setting where cases are prepared for litigation rather than processed through a volume-based model.
