What Clients Say
People we’ve helped.
What You Can Recover
Damages aren’t just medical bills.
Most injury victims underestimate what they’re owed, and adjusters count on that. We document, calculate, and demand every category of damages. The first offer is almost never the real number.
Medical bills
Past, present, and future medical expenses: emergency room, surgery, rehab, therapy, prescriptions, assistive devices.
Lost wages & earning capacity
Time off work, reduced hours, and the future income you can no longer earn because of your injuries.
Pain & suffering
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the impact on your relationships.
Property & out-of-pocket loss
Cost to repair or replace damaged property, plus the everyday expenses your injury forced you to take on.
Future care
Long-term medical care, assistive equipment, in-home help, and modifications to your home or vehicle.
Punitive damages
When the at-fault party acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, extra damages may be awarded.
How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
Step 01
Free Phone Call
Tell us what happened. We listen, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. No obligation, no pressure.
Step 02
We Build Your Case
We investigate, gather evidence, line up experts, deal with the insurance company, and document every dollar of your damages.
Step 03
We Win Your Case
Most cases settle once the evidence is undeniable. When the insurance company won't pay full value, we take them to trial, and we have the verdicts to show for it. You owe us nothing unless we win.
FAQ
Personal injury questions, answered.
Do I actually have a case?
If someone else's negligence caused your injury, you likely do. The honest answer comes after we hear what happened, which is why the consultation is always free. We'll tell you straight whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
What kinds of cases does Cronauer Law handle?
Personal injury is all we do: auto, truck, and motorcycle crashes; catastrophic injuries; medical malpractice and birth injuries; work injuries; slip-and-fall; product liability; and wrongful death. If you're not sure where your case fits, just call.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost income, future care needs, and the strength of the evidence. Any lawyer who promises a number before reviewing your case is being dishonest. We give an honest assessment after we know the facts.
Should I talk to the insurance company?
Not before talking to us. The adjuster's job is to minimize your claim, and anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all communication so nothing damages your case.
How long do I have to file in Illinois?
Most Illinois personal injury claims must be filed within two years, but some (like claims against government entities or for medical malpractice) have shorter or different deadlines. Don't wait. Call us to confirm your specific deadline.
How much does it cost to hire Cronauer Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, so our fee comes from the recovery we get you, and only if we win. If we don't recover, you owe us nothing. The initial consultation is always free.
Don’t wait
Let's find out what your case is worth.
Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your case gets weaker. The consultation is free. The advice is honest. The fight is ours.
