$2,000,000 Employee Gets Drunk At Company Party and Causes Horrendous Crash
A drunk driver slams into the back of an SUV at almost 100 miles per hour. The drunk was under age but had been given free alcohol at a company party that evening. Geoff took over after the original lawyer settled the “dramshop” part of the case. A dramshop case is made against a bar that wrongfully serves alcohol to a customer. Geoff then aimed the case against the company which threw the party and settled the case right before trial for $2,000,000.00.

Both of the passengers were thrown from their seats when the boat hit a floating concrete wave barrier called a “wave break” at night. The insurance company for the boat driver offered zero dollars until Geoff and his team prepared the case for trial. Just a few weeks before the trial the insurance company changed its mind and paid a total settlement of $1,800,000.00.

As a boutique firm, we are deliberate about the cases we accept. This allows us to give every client direct communication, personalized strategy, and consistent attorney involvement throughout the case.
We do not take a volume approach, and we do not believe serious injury cases should be handled that way.
When we take a case, we commit the time and preparation it requires. Our attorneys are available 24/7 to answer questions, provide updates, and guide clients through each stage of the process.
What Must Be Proven in a Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury claims are based on negligence. In most cases, the injured person must prove that another party’s actions caused harm.
This typically requires showing:
- A duty of care was owed
- That duty was breached
- The breach caused the injury
- The injury resulted in damages
Insurance companies often dispute one or more of these elements. They may challenge fault, question the severity of injuries, or attempt to minimize the value of the claim. Strong cases are built with clear evidence, thorough analysis, and a well-developed legal strategy.
Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim
A personal injury claim is meant to recover the losses caused by an accident or injury.
Compensation may include:
- Economic damages
Medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, and reduced earning capacity - Non-economic damages
Pain and suffering, physical impairment, and loss of enjoyment of life - Wrongful death damages
Financial losses, funeral expenses, and loss of companionship for surviving family members
The value of a case depends on the facts, including the severity of the injury, liability, available insurance, and long-term impact.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
Personal injury claims are subject to strict deadlines.
In general:
- Missouri allows five years for most personal injury claims
- Illinois allows two years in many cases
However, shorter deadlines can apply depending on the circumstances, especially in cases involving public entities or wrongful death.
Delays can weaken a claim, even before a deadline passes. Early legal review helps preserve evidence and strengthen the case.
How Meyerkord Law Group Helps Injury Victims
Handling a serious injury case requires more than filing a claim.
Our firm works to:
- Investigate the facts and gather evidence
- Analyze liability and identify responsible parties
- Document damages and long-term impact
- Handle communication with insurance companies
- Prepare cases for settlement or trial
Our goal is to protect our clients’ interests and pursue the compensation their case supports.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
Not every accident leads to a valid legal claim. Whether a case exists depends on fault, evidence, and the extent of damages.
You should consider speaking with a lawyer if:
- You suffered a serious injury
- A loved one was killed in an accident
- Liability is unclear or disputed
- The insurance company is denying or minimizing your claim
- Multiple parties may be involved
Some cases are not immediately clear. A consultation can help determine whether legal action is appropriate.
If you have been injured in an accident, having the right legal team can make a meaningful difference in the outcome of your case. Meyerkord Law Group combines trial-ready preparation, direct attorney access, and a selective approach that allows us to fully invest in every client we represent. We handle serious injury and motor vehicle accident cases across Missouri and Illinois and are ready to evaluate your situation.
