Understanding Your Rights After an Auto Accident

Rockford, United States - November 13, 2025 / Pignatelli & Associates, PC. Rockford Personal Injury Attorney /

As auto and trucking accidents continue to impact lives throughout Winnebago County and northern Illinois, Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. is encouraging injured drivers and passengers to seek legal counsel before navigating discussions with insurance companies on their own. This Rockford personal injury law firm specializes in cases involving auto, trucking, motorcycle, and hit-and-run incidents, having successfully recovered tens of millions of dollars in compensation for victims of crashes in Illinois.

"Many individuals are unaware of how rapidly crucial evidence can vanish following a collision," stated a representative from Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. "Data from vehicles, surveillance footage, and even skid marks can disappear within days. Our responsibility is to secure that evidence, document the injuries, and ensure our clients are not coerced into accepting inadequate settlements by insurance adjusters."

Established over 50 years ago, the firm is dedicated to serious injury claims arising from car accidents, commercial trucking incidents, distracted and impaired driving, and wrongful death cases. The legal team frequently collaborates with medical experts, economists, and accident reconstruction specialists to establish liability and illustrate the comprehensive effects of injuries on a client's life, which includes medical costs, lost wages, long-term care requirements, and pain and suffering.

Pignatelli & Associates, P.C. observes that numerous injured residents of Illinois attempt to "manage it on their own" following an accident, only to discover months later that a signed release or recorded statement has restricted their ability to seek further compensation. The firm advises accident victims to consult with an attorney prior to providing detailed statements or accepting any settlements.

"Our message is straightforward," the spokesperson continued. "If you've been involved in an accident on I-90, East State Street, or any road in northern Illinois, consult a lawyer who handles auto cases on a daily basis. The consultation is complimentary, and it could mean the difference between having your future medical expenses covered or being burdened with bills you cannot afford."

The Rockford office serves clients across Illinois and provides free initial consultations. Cases involving auto accidents are approached on a contingency-fee basis, which means clients are not responsible for attorney fees unless the firm achieves a recovery on their behalf.
