Here for You, Not the Insurance Company
Truck 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 a trucking accident, it's crucial to consider:
- ✓ Was the collision caused by truck driver negligence or trucking company errors?
- ✓ Did the crash result in serious injuries, property damage, or fatalities?
- ✓ Will the 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 Truck Accident
Illinois is an at-fault state: whoever 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.
Truck cases are rarely as simple as a car crash. Liability can reach the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, or a parts manufacturer — and the evidence that proves it, like black box data, driver logs, and maintenance records, can disappear quickly. We move fast to preserve it.
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 truck accident claims must be filed within two years — and claims against government entities can have far shorter deadlines.

Common Questions
Illinois Truck Accident FAQ
What should I do after a truck accident in Illinois?
Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay — serious injuries like internal bleeding and whiplash often 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.
Who can be held liable in a truck accident?
Often more than one party. Depending on the facts, the truck driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, a maintenance contractor, or even the truck or parts manufacturer can share liability. The evidence that proves it — black box data, driver logs, and inspection and maintenance records — can disappear quickly, so it’s important to have a lawyer demand its preservation early.
How much does a truck accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. We handle truck 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.
How much is my truck accident case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost income, and how the crash affects your future. Commercial trucks typically carry much larger insurance policies than passenger vehicles — and their insurers fight hard to protect them. The only way to know what your case is really worth is a free case review.
How long do I have to file a truck 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. Trucking evidence disappears even faster than most, so the sooner you talk to a lawyer, the stronger your case.
What if my injuries didn’t show up until days after the crash?
That’s common — and it’s one of the ways adjusters try to devalue claims. See a doctor as soon as symptoms appear, keep every record, and don’t accept a settlement before you understand the full extent of your injuries. Once you settle, you generally can’t reopen your claim.
What if a loved one was killed in a truck crash?
Surviving family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim for their loss. These cases have their own rules and deadlines, and no case is more important to get right. Learn more about wrongful death claims in Illinois, or talk to us directly — the consultation is free.
