What Happens Next
When you call, here is exactly what happens.
What happens when I call a Chicago truck accident lawyer?
You speak with an attorney — not a paralegal or intake center. We ask about the crash, your injuries, medical treatment, any insurance contact you've had, and the deadline posture. You leave the call understanding whether you have a case, what it may be worth, and what to do in the next 72 hours while ELD and ECM evidence is still preservable. For the first-48-hours playbook, see what to do after a truck accident.FAQ
What to expect when you reach out.
Questions we hear most often from first-time callers — on response time, who picks up the phone, and what the consultation actually looks like.
Within one business day, typically sooner. If you call our office directly at 312.728.2989, we answer 24/7 — including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Overnight calls that go to voicemail are returned before the next morning.
An attorney. Every new-matter call is taken by a licensed Illinois lawyer at the firm — not a paralegal, not a call-center screener, not a junior intake staffer. The lawyer you speak with on the first call is the lawyer who will work on your case.
Usually 15 to 30 minutes. We ask about the crash, your injuries, medical treatment so far, any contact you’ve had with the trucking company’s insurer, and the deadline posture. By the end of the call you should understand whether you have a case, what it may be worth, and what to do in the next 72 hours while evidence is still preservable.
That’s fine. You don’t need any documents to call — we can walk through the details live and pull the Illinois Traffic Crash Report and medical records ourselves once the case is open under a HIPAA release. Having photos, dashcam footage, or the truck’s DOT/MC number from the cab helps, but nothing is required to get started.
How We Work With You
From first call to resolution.
No surprises. Here is the exact process, from the moment you pick up the phone.
01
Free Consultation
You speak with an attorney, not an intake center. We review the facts, medical picture, carrier involved, and deadline posture — no cost, no obligation.
02
Evidence Lock-Down
If we take the case, spoliation letters go out within 24 hours. Investigators to the scene, ECM/ELD data preserved, dashcam subpoenaed before rotation.
03
Negotiation
We build the demand with life-care planners, medical experts, and vocational economists — then pursue full value with insurers and defense counsel.
04
Trial or Resolution
Most cases settle. If the carrier refuses to pay full value, we take the case to a Cook County courtroom. Trial-ready posture is what forces real offers.
Client Voices
Great phenomenal experience from start to finish, always updating everything and letting you know how the process is going to work. Very helpful people that take your cases very seriously.

What To Have Ready
You don't need any of this before you call — we can walk through the details live — but if you have it at hand, the first consultation moves faster.
The crash report
The Illinois Traffic Crash Report (police report) has the responding officer's narrative, parties involved, vehicle information, and preliminary fault assessment. If you don't have it yet, don't worry — we can pull it.
Medical records and bills
Any emergency-room records, follow-up care, imaging, prescriptions, and out-of-pocket costs. Keep receipts. We'll collect the full file under a HIPAA release once the case is open.
Insurance information
Your own auto-insurance declarations page, the other driver's information (especially the trucking company and their commercial carrier), and any correspondence you've received from their adjuster.
Photos, dashcam, witness info
Anything you took at the scene — vehicle damage, road conditions, the truck's DOT/MC number on the cab — plus any dashcam footage from your vehicle or witnesses. Contact details for anyone who saw the crash.
