Hon. Larry G. Axelrood, (Ret.), senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems, recently settled a $1.9 million vehicle collision case.

The case stemmed from a 2015 car crash wherein the plaintiff sustained a broken leg and broken wrists as a result of a head-on collision. The plaintiff required surgery on her leg. Her vehicle was hit by the defendant’s vehicle when the defendant attempted to pass a semi-trailer truck by changing lanes and driving into oncoming traffic.

Judge Axelrood worked with the parties to overcome a secondary dispute which impeded settlement. The defendant was driving from her home to work when the accident happened, according to The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. The defendant admitted negligence, but the employer disputed whether she was acting in the scope of her employment during the crash. After working through this issue, the parties agreed to settlement.

Judge Axelrood has extensive experience with medical malpractice, nursing home, railroad, legal malpractice, premises liability, construction and personal injury matters. Having served on the Evanston Police Pension Board and the Illinois Judges Association Pension and Benefits Committee, Judge Axelrood also has in-depth experience with pensions and their impact on various types of cases.

In an automobile accident case involving a severe injury, Judge Callahan kept both sides negotiating even when it appeared we were going to be over six figures apart at the end. His insights and guidance were instrumental in getting both sides to a dollar figure that ultimately settled the case. I am confident that we could not have achieved that settlement without Judge Callahan’s superb efforts.
