$1.85M recovered. $1.76M. $565,000. $500,000. These are real settlements for real Chicago clients — against insurance companies with full legal teams.
Will County Is Where Your Case Gets Decided — We Know the Courthouse
Personal injury civil cases in Joliet are heard at the Will County Courthouse, 14 West Jefferson Street. Workers' compensation claims go to the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission in Chicago. We appear in both venues regularly. That is not a detail — it is the difference between an attorney who is prepared to litigate your case and one who is prepared to settle it cheap.
Coyne Reinke Law has represented Chicago-area clients for more than 20 years. Our reach into Will County is not a new expansion. It reflects the reality that serious accidents and workplace injuries do not stop at county lines, and neither do we.
PERSONAL INJURY
Car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck collisions, construction site injuries, slip and falls. If someone else's negligence put you in the hospital, we build the case that makes them pay for it.
Workers' Compensation
Injured on the job in Illinois? You have rights your employer may not volunteer. We've spent 20 years helping Chicago workers navigate the claims process and recover the full benefits they're entitled to.
I-80 Runs Through Joliet for a Reason — So Do the Truck Accidents
Joliet sits at one of the highest-volume commercial trucking intersections in Illinois, where I-80 and I-55 converge. That corridor moves freight around the clock, and it produces serious truck accidents with regularity. These are not simple two-car cases. Interstate truck accidents involve federal FMCSA regulations, commercial insurance carriers with experienced defense teams, and often multiple potentially liable parties — the driver, the carrier, the cargo loader, and others.
We have handled truck accident cases that reflect exactly this fact pattern. Our $565,000 truck accident settlement is the kind of result that comes from understanding how commercial trucking liability actually works — not from sending a demand letter and waiting.
If you were injured in a truck accident on I-80 near Joliet, call us before you speak to the carrier's insurance company.
