Rockford, IL Car Accident Injury Lawyers

Personal Injury Attorneys for Victims of Auto and Truck Crashes in Winnebago County

Each year, hundreds of people are killed and tens of thousands are injured on Illinois roadways. While some auto accidents are due to uncontrollable circumstances such as bad weather, most are the result of negligence or recklessness. When the negligent or reckless actions of motorists lead to severe injury or wrongful death, they must be held accountable. If you or someone close to you has been injured or killed in a car accident, you may have the right to compensation.

For over two decades, Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Injury Law, has represented victims of car accidents in Rockford, Chicago, and communities throughout Illinois. Our attorneys have in-depth knowledge of this area of the law and what it takes to prevail against insurance companies and their armies of high-priced lawyers. We have secured countless six- and seven-figure verdicts and settlements for personal injury clients over the years, and our successful track record is one of the major reasons so many individuals trust us to protect their rights and interests when they are wrongly injured.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

There are numerous reasons auto accidents occur. Some of the most common include:

• Speeding
• Driving recklessly
• Distracted driving (e.g., talking on the phone, texting while driving, eating, etc.)
• Driving while drowsy
• Drunk driving
• Motor vehicle defects

Proving fault in a car accident is not always easy. It is important to retain experienced legal counsel early on in the process. The sooner we are involved, the easier it will be to build a strong case and secure the just compensation you deserve.

There are instances when the driver of another vehicle may not be the only person at fault in an auto accident. For example, if a mechanical defect was a major contributor, you may have a defective products liability claim against the manufacturer. If the accident was the fault of a drunk driver who was served too much alcohol at an Illinois bar, you may have a dram shop liability claim against the establishment that sold the alcohol to the driver. We have extensive experience with car accident cases, and we can sort through the details of your case and ensure that all responsible parties are held fully accountable.
