Best Chicago Truck Accident Attorneys

Founded in 1999, McCready Law is a Chicago truck accident and injury firm with deep roots on the city's South Side. Michael McCready's team has recovered more than $500 million for clients across Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri.

Semi-truck and commercial vehicle wrecks sit alongside car crashes, premises liability, and workers' compensation on the docket. Recent results include $5.25 million in a medical malpractice case and $3 million in a product liability claim against a car manufacturer.

Ten offices now cover the greater Midwest, with headquarters on West Madison and a long-running location on South Western Avenue. Consultations are free, and there is no fee unless the firm wins.

For more than 25 years, this Loop practice has represented injured workers and accident victims across Illinois. Partners James P. McHargue and Matthew C. Jones built the firm around Illinois workers' compensation. Results include $955,000 for a union worker with a career-ending shoulder injury and $906,000 for a factory worker after back surgery.

Car crashes, premises cases, and 18-wheeler wrecks round out the caseload, and the staff speaks Spanish.

Denied benefits, stopped TTD checks, and IME disputes are everyday work here. That makes it a practical first call for anyone weighing whether to hire a truck accident attorney in Chicago after a job-related crash.

A $15 million verdict for the family of a woman killed in a trucking accident tops this firm's results list. An $11.5 million wrongful death settlement in a second truck crash sits close behind.

Coplan + Crane works out of Oak Park with a downtown office on West Randolph and a third location in Rockford. Partners Ben Crane, Ted Jennings, and Blake Vance handle auto collisions, medical malpractice, birth injuries, and train claims including FELA.

Underride and jackknife wrecks get dedicated attention, as do the trucking companies and insurers behind them. Case evaluations cost nothing.

The firm holds National Trial Lawyers Top 100 membership and belongs to the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association. It also publishes client guidance in Bulgarian as well as English, which is rare among injury lawyers in the city.

Few Chicago practices know railroad injury law this well. Formerly Hoey & Farina, the firm built its name on FELA claims. A $33 million jury verdict went to a railworker crushed by a train, and a $10 million award followed a close-clearance case between railcars.

Semi truck accidents, construction injuries, and wrongful death claims fill out the rest of the docket. Attorneys William McMahon and James Farina represent railroaders and passengers nationwide from a West Lake Street office.

Rundio Injury Law is a personal injury practice on South Dearborn led by Matt Rundio. He has recovered in excess of $100 million for clients over the past 25 years.

Commercial vehicle cases here get sorted by cause: driver fatigue, faulty equipment, improper braking, overloaded cargo. Bus, train, motorcycle, and construction claims round out the practice, along with nursing home neglect and medical malpractice. Clients tend to mention how directly Rundio explains where a case stands.

Stephen Hoffman has represented Chicagoland accident victims since 1990, and he does it as a solo attorney rather than one name on a masthead. Clients deal with him directly from intake through settlement.

His work covers motor vehicle collisions, premises liability, medical malpractice, dog bites, and workers' compensation. He is Super Lawyers recognized and a member of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association.

From a Dearborn Street office in the Loop, with a Northbrook location by appointment, Philip J. Berenz takes on insurance companies for injured Chicagoans.

The practice covers 18-wheeler crashes, medical injuries, prescription and pharmacy errors, dog bites, and catastrophic harm including brain trauma and mesothelioma. Berenz has secured multi-million-dollar settlements over more than a decade of injury work. Reviewers point again and again to how fast he returns calls and texts.

Polish and Spanish speakers will find both languages spoken at Kurasch & Klein, an injury practice on North LaSalle. Donald A. Kurasch and Daniel A. Klein are AV-rated and have been named Illinois Super Lawyers.

Their results include a $7.5 million settlement for a badly injured infant and $4.8 million for two visiting workers. Beyond Cook County, the firm takes cases in Naperville, Wheaton, and Schaumburg.

Five million dollars for a woman who lost part of her leg in a bus crash. That result says a lot about how this Wacker Drive firm approaches catastrophic cases.

Representing injured people in Chicago since 1970, Karlin, Fleisher & Falkenberg has recovered over $400 million. Jonathan B. Fleisher and Charles V. Falkenberg III handle tractor-trailer wrecks, medical negligence, birth injuries, and nursing home abuse. The West Monroe office also serves Evanston, Naperville, Oak Park, and Schaumburg.

Joel Gould has handled more than a thousand cases and over 400 trials across 35 years. His Belmont Avenue office splits between injury claims, including truck and construction accidents, and criminal defense work such as DUI.

A $45 million award for social service negligence and wrongful death anchors this record. Jay Paul Deratany and Greg Olmstead have brought in more than half a billion dollars total. Their focus runs to medical malpractice, foster care neglect, trucking litigation, and spinal cord injuries.

Trucking cases are the only cases Whiting Law Group takes. Timothy Whiting founded the practice nearly 20 years ago and built a trial team around commercial vehicle crashes, backed by investigators and expert witnesses. Spanish-language service is available.
