Why Cronauer Law
The truck accident attorneys who hold companies accountable.
Trucking crashes are rarely just about one driver. They're about deadlines, pressure, and cut corners. We find the negligence behind the wheel, and behind the company.
We move fast on the evidence.
Logbooks, dispatch records, and onboard data tell the real story. We act immediately to preserve them before the company can.
Maximum-recovery investigation.
Accident reconstruction, medical experts, and economists prove every dollar of your damages, current and future.
Trial-ready, every case.
Trucking insurers settle for more when they know your lawyer will go to trial. Our verdicts prove we will.
Zero risk to you.
Free consultation. No upfront cost. Our fee comes from the recovery, only if we win.

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
Truck accident questions, answered.
What should I do after a truck accident in Illinois?
Get medical attention right away. Truck-crash injuries are often serious and can be delayed. Document the scene, get the truck and company information, file a police report, and call us before speaking with the trucking company's insurer.
Who is responsible in a truck accident?
It's often more than the driver. The trucking company, a maintenance contractor, or the party that loaded the cargo may share fault. Each may have its own insurance policy, and we pursue every source of recovery.
Why do I need to act quickly?
Critical evidence, including driver logs, electronic data, and maintenance records, can be lost or destroyed within weeks. The sooner we're involved, the sooner we can send legal demands to preserve it.
What if I was partly at fault?
Illinois uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you're less than 51% at fault, you can still recover, with your damages reduced by your share of fault. Don't assume you have no case.
How long do I have to file in Illinois?
Most truck injury claims must be filed within two years of the crash, with shorter deadlines for government-entity claims. 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 you only pay if we win. The initial consultation is always free.
Don’t wait
Don't fight the trucking company alone.
Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your case gets weaker. The consultation is free. The advice is honest. The fight is ours.
