PERSONAL INJURY
We Get Results
Insurance companies don't 'accidentally' undervalue injury claims — they do it on purpose. We build cases that demand respect, and payment. If the other side wants to play games, we're happy to end the game.
OUR APPROACH:
- Move fast and preserve the evidence
- Control the narrative with strong documentation
- Negotiate aggressively — and litigate when necessary
- Keep you informed so you're never guessing what's happening
You focus on recovery. We'll focus on getting you paid — and restoring your peace of mind.

Trust Is Our Greatest Achievement
Our Injury Practice Areas
Car Accidents
Car crashes are common. Getting treated fairly afterward isn't. Insurance companies are quick to downplay your injuries, dispute your treatment, and make you feel like the problem — not the victim.
We investigate fault, lock down evidence fast, and document everything: medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, and pain and suffering. We handle the calls, the negotiations, and the courtroom if it comes to that. You handle getting better.
UNINSURED / UNDERINSURED MOTORISTS
If the driver who hit you had no insurance — or not enough — we help you pursue the compensation you're owed through your own policy. You paid for that coverage. You deserve to use it.
Premises Liability
Property owners and businesses must take reasonable steps to keep visitors safe. When they ignore broken stairs, poor lighting, falling merchandise, or another dangerous condition, a preventable injury can change your life.
We move quickly to preserve video, inspection records, witness accounts, and maintenance logs before they disappear. Then we build a clear record of what the owner knew, when they knew it, and how their failure caused your losses.
NOTICE OF A DANGEROUS CONDITION
A property owner may deny knowing about the hazard. We look for prior complaints, recurring problems, and evidence showing they created the danger or had enough time to fix it.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck crashes are rarely simple. The driver, carrier, maintenance company, cargo loader, or another business may share responsibility, and each has an insurer working to limit what it pays.
We secure driver logs, electronic data, inspection records, and company safety policies while the evidence is still available. Our team follows every responsible party and every source of coverage to pursue the full value of your claim.
TRUCKING RECORDS CAN DISAPPEAR
Federal rules do not require every record to be kept forever. Getting us involved early lets us demand that the carrier preserve the evidence needed to show what went wrong.
Wrongful Death
No legal case can replace the person your family lost. A wrongful death claim can, however, hold the negligent party accountable and protect your family from the financial harm that follows an unexpected loss.
We handle the investigation and difficult conversations with care while pursuing funeral costs, lost financial support, and the loss of companionship and guidance. Your family gets direct access to our attorneys and the time needed to grieve.
YOUR FAMILY DESERVES ANSWERS
We trace the evidence, consult qualified experts when needed, and explain each step in plain language. Our goal is accountability, security, and a result that honors the full impact of your loss.
Slip & Fall
A fall can cause fractures, head injuries, and lasting pain — and it is not automatically your fault. Stores, landlords, and other property owners have a duty to address spills, ice, uneven flooring, and hazards they knew or should have known about.
We document the scene, locate witnesses, request surveillance footage, and examine cleaning and inspection practices. That evidence helps us show why the fall happened and demand compensation for the full effect on your health, work, and daily life.
PRESERVE THE SCENE
Conditions can be cleaned up or repaired within minutes. Photos, incident reports, witness details, and the shoes you were wearing can all help preserve the truth about what caused your fall.
Rideshare Accident
Uber and Lyft crashes create coverage questions that ordinary car claims do not. The insurance available can depend on whether the driver was offline, waiting for a request, on the way to a passenger, or completing a trip.
We identify the driver's app status, preserve trip information, and pursue the correct personal or rideshare policy. Whether you were a passenger, another driver, a cyclist, or a pedestrian, we keep the companies from passing responsibility back and forth.
APP STATUS MATTERS
Rideshare coverage changes as the driver moves through the app. We act quickly to secure the digital records that show which policy should pay for your injuries.
Dog Bite
Dog attacks can leave deep wounds, infections, permanent scars, and trauma that lasts long after the physical injuries heal. Children are especially vulnerable, but victims of any age deserve to be taken seriously.
We identify the owner, document the injuries, and investigate the circumstances of the attack and available insurance. Then we pursue medical costs, lost income, scarring, emotional harm, and any future treatment the injury requires.
A PRIOR BITE IS NOT REQUIRED
Illinois law does not give every dog one free bite. If you were lawfully present, did not provoke the animal, and were attacked, the owner may be responsible for the harm you suffered.
Community Involvement
At Vito & Dollenmaier Law, we believe in giving back to our community. Our partners have served as elected officials in their local communities, and they work with multiple organizations and associations. We regularly volunteer our time and provide donations to charitable organizations while also participating in fundraising efforts and community service projects. Involvement in our local community is one of the core values of our firm, and we strive to provide support to business owners, students, veterans, and others who can use our help.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
If someone else's negligence caused your injuries — whether that's a careless driver, a property owner who ignored a hazard, or a trucking company that cut corners — you likely have a claim worth looking at. The best way to find out is to talk to us. That's what the free consultation is for.
Your case's value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, future needs, and the available insurance coverage. We gather the evidence first, then give you a straightforward assessment instead of promising a number before we know the facts.
Many Illinois personal injury cases must be filed within two years of the injury, but important exceptions can shorten or extend that deadline. Contacting a lawyer promptly helps protect your rights and gives your legal team time to preserve evidence.
Most personal injury claims resolve without a trial, but we prepare every case as though it may need to go to court. If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, we will explain your options clearly and be ready to fight for you.
You may still be able to recover compensation under Illinois's comparative negligence rules, although your recovery can be reduced by your share of fault. Do not let an insurance adjuster's accusation decide the issue before the evidence has been examined.
