About Our Chicago Motor Vehicle Accident Law Firm

Our firm is built around one core belief: serious motor vehicle injuries in Chicago are rarely the result of chance. They happen when safety decisions are deferred, oversight is weak, or responsibility is shifted away from those with the power to prevent harm.

We represent people injured in car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes throughout Chicago and Cook County. Our work focuses on uncovering how traffic collisions occur within larger transportation and insurance systems and holding those systems accountable when they fail.

This practice is not built on volume. It is built on preparation, credibility, and the ability to challenge well-funded defendants on equal footing.

Leadership That Shapes the Practice

The firm is led by Jonathan Rosenfeld, a Chicago motor vehicle accident lawyer whose career has been defined by advocating for injured people against powerful institutional actors.

Jonathan’s work focuses on holding insurance carriers, commercial transportation companies, and corporate defendants accountable after serious traffic injuries and fatalities. He is known for approaching motor vehicle cases as investigations, not transactions, with early attention to evidence preservation, documentation control, and defense strategy.

His advocacy against institutional negligence has earned national recognition and professional honors tied directly to accountability-focused litigation, not advertising presence.

Jonathan’s leadership shapes how cases are selected, how they are developed, and how the firm engages with insurers, corporate defense counsel, and transportation entities across Chicago.

A Team Built for Complex Traffic Injury Cases

Our attorneys and staff focus exclusively on serious injury litigation. As a team, we understand how motor vehicle cases unfold in Chicago, from the initial Chicago Police Department crash report through insurance evaluation, litigation, and trial.

We regularly handle cases involving:

• Commercial fleets operating along Chicago freight corridors
• Rideshare platforms governed by the transportation regulations enforced by the City of Chicago
• Public transit systems, including the CTA and Pace
• Urban crash patterns shaped by CDOT roadway design and traffic flow
• Insurance carriers that control claims valuation and settlement authority

This experience allows us to anticipate defenses and respond before narratives harden against injured people.

A Record of Results in Serious Motor Vehicle Cases

While no two cases are the same, our results reflect consistent enforcement of responsibility in high-stakes traffic injury matters. Examples include:

• $18.5 million recovery for catastrophic injuries caused by a commercial truck operating along major Chicago freight routes
• $11 million recovery for a client permanently disabled after being struck by a commercial vehicle on the South Side
• $7.9 million recovery for a motorcyclist who suffered an amputation after a left-turn collision at a busy Chicago intersection
• $5 million recovery for a client with a traumatic brain injury sustained in a high-speed collision on Lake Shore Drive
• $4 million recovery in a fatal rideshare crash involving a downtown Chicago corridor

These outcomes reflect preparation, persistence, and the ability to hold institutions accountable when responsibility is disputed.

How We Work With Clients

Most of our clients come to us after insurers have already begun shaping the case. Statements have been taken. Fault has been suggested. Offers may have been floated before the full extent of the injury is known.

We take the time to reset that process.

Our team explains how traffic cases are evaluated, what evidence matters, and how institutional decisions affect outcomes. We stay involved, communicate clearly, and make sure our clients understand each step as their case develops.

Clients are never treated as files. They are treated as people whose lives have been disrupted by decisions they did not control.

Why This Work Matters in Chicago

Dense streets, commercial transportation, public transit, and complex insurance systems shape Chicago’s traffic injury landscape. When those systems are not examined, unsafe practices repeat.

Holding responsible parties accountable after serious motor vehicle crashes does more than resolve individual cases. It forces transparency, exposes systemic failures, and reinforces safety standards that protect the public.

That is the broader purpose behind our work.
