Here for You, Not the Insurance Company
Car Accident Attorneys in Rockford, Illinois
Insurance Companies Have a Team.
You Should Have One Too.
Insurance companies bring adjusters, investigators, and lawyers to every serious claim. Claims are evaluated to control cost, not to make you whole. We’ve handled these claims for injured people across Illinois since 1992 — and we know how to build a case the insurance company has to take seriously.
Crashes happen every day on I-90, I-39, US-20, and the local roads Illinois families drive to work and school. Within days — sometimes hours — an adjuster will call, and what you say in that first conversation can shape the rest of your claim.
After an accident, it's crucial to consider:
- ✓ Was the collision caused by someone else's negligence?
- ✓ Did the crash result in serious injury or property damage?
- ✓ Will your insurance settlement adequately cover medical treatment costs and lost income?
At Fisk & Monteleone, we gather the evidence, deal with the insurance company, and take your case to court if that’s what it takes.

What You Can Recover
Compensation After an Illinois Car Accident
Illinois is an at-fault state: the driver who caused your crash — and their insurance company — is responsible for what it costs you. Even if you were partly at fault, Illinois’s comparative negligence rules let you recover as long as you were 50% or less to blame.
Economic Damages
- Emergency care, surgery & hospital bills
- Ongoing therapy & rehabilitation
- Lost wages & future earning capacity
- Vehicle repair or replacement
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and physical suffering
- Disfigurement & permanent scarring
- Loss of a normal life
- Loss of consortium & companionship
Don’t wait: most Illinois car accident claims must be filed within two years — and claims against government entities can have far shorter deadlines.

Common Questions
Illinois Car Accident FAQ
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Illinois?
In most cases, Illinois law gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit (735 ILCS 5/13-202). Some claims — like those against a city or government entity — have much shorter deadlines. Evidence disappears fast, so the sooner you talk to a lawyer, the stronger your case.
What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
Illinois requires every auto liability policy to include uninsured motorist coverage, and many drivers also carry underinsured motorist coverage. That means you may still be able to recover through your own policy. We review every policy that could apply to your crash to identify the coverage available to you.
Can I still recover if the accident was partly my fault?
Usually, yes. Illinois follows modified comparative negligence: as long as you were 50% or less at fault, you can recover — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies love to exaggerate your share of the blame, which is exactly why you shouldn’t accept their version of events.
How much is my car accident case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, and how the crash affects your future. One client came to us after the insurance company offered her $500 — we recovered $45,000. The only way to know what your case is really worth is a free case review.
What does a car accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We handle car accident cases on a contingency fee — our fee comes out of the recovery we win for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay. Your first consultation is always free and confidential.
What should I do after a car accident in Illinois?
Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay — some serious injuries have delayed symptoms. Report the crash, photograph the scene and vehicles if you can, and get contact information for witnesses. Then talk to a lawyer before you give a recorded statement or accept any offer from an insurance adjuster.
