Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

drunk driver

A drunk driver hit the cab i was in. I was the only injured party and the drunk driver was arrested. Now i find out he has only a small amount of insurance. The cab company has the same amount for their underinsured coverage. (the cab company was not at fault) Should I sue the driver personally? his parents are on his insurance policy. do i have any other options?
