With auto and trucking crashes continuing to disrupt lives across Winnebago County and northern Illinois, Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. is urging injured drivers and passengers to seek legal advice before dealing with insurance companies alone. The Rockford personal injury firm focuses on auto, trucking, motorcycle, and hit-and-run cases, and has helped recover tens of millions of dollars in compensation for Illinois crash victims.
“Most people don’t realize how quickly critical evidence can disappear after a collision,” said a spokesperson for Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. “Vehicle data, surveillance video, and even skid marks can be lost in days. Our job is to secure that evidence, document the injury, and make sure our clients aren’t pushed into low settlements by insurance adjusters.”
Founded more than 50 years ago, the firm concentrates on serious injury claims resulting from car crashes, commercial trucking collisions, distracted and impaired driving, and wrongful death. The legal team regularly works with medical professionals, economists, and accident reconstruction experts to prove fault and demonstrate the full impact of injuries on a client’s life, including medical expenses, lost income, long-term care needs, and pain and suffering.
Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. notes that many injured Illinois residents try to “handle it themselves” after a wreck, only to learn months later that a signed release or recorded statement has limited their ability to pursue further compensation. The firm encourages crash victims to speak with an attorney before giving detailed statements or accepting any payout.
“Our message is simple,” the spokesperson added. “If you’ve been hit on I-90, East State Street, or any roadway in northern Illinois, talk to a lawyer who handles auto cases every day. The consultation is free, and it may be the difference between covering your future medical care or being stuck with bills you can’t pay.”
The Rockford office represents clients throughout Illinois and offers free initial consultations. Auto accident cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis, meaning clients owe no attorney’s fees unless the firm secures a recovery on their behalf.
