When someone else's negligence turns your life upside down, the last thing you need is an insurance company stringing you along with lowball offers and delayed callbacks.

That's what we do.

At Vito & Dollenmaier Law, we handle personal injury cases across Chicago, Schaumburg, Rolling Meadows, and the surrounding suburbs — car accidents, truck crashes, rideshare collisions, Amazon delivery accidents, slip and falls, wrongful death, and more.

YOU WERE INJURED. NOW THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS A PLAN. SO DO WE.

The insurance company isn't on your side — and they're not pretending to be. They have a playbook built to minimize what they pay, and they run it on every single claim. The good news is we've seen it before. All of it.

At Vito & Dollenmaier Law, we represent injured people across the greater Chicago area in personal injury claims — car accidents, truck accidents, premises liability, wrongful death, and more. We investigate what happened, prove fault with real evidence, and pursue every dollar available to you. Not just the easy ones.

Here's what that looks like in practice:

1
Quick answers, no chasing required.

You shouldn't have to hunt down your own attorney for updates. We stay proactive so you always know where things stand.

2
Responsive communication.

Some firms go quiet once they have your case. We don't. Your calls get returned within 24 hours.

3
Aggressive advocacy built to win.

We're not here to negotiate nicely and hope for the best. We're here to fight for every dollar.

HIRE THE RIGHT PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

After a serious injury, you don't need a lawyer who's just pleasant. You need one who's pleasant to you and a problem for everyone trying to underpay you.

WHEN YOU HIRE V&D, HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:

Straight answers.

We tell you what you need to hear — what your case is worth, what the risks are, how long it might take, and what happens next. No sugarcoating.

Speed and follow-through.

We move fast and keep pressure on the process so nothing stalls out.

Real access.

Your calls get returned within 24 hours. Your attorney handles your case personally — not a case manager, not an assistant.

Advocacy that's ready for court.

We prepare every case to win. If filing suit is what it takes to get you what you deserve, we're ready to do it.

We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay us nothing unless we recover money for you.

Personal Injury

WE GET RESULTS

Insurance companies don't "accidentally" undervalue injury claims. They do it on purpose. They're counting on you being tired, overwhelmed, and ready to take whatever's offered.

That's where we come in.

We build cases that demand respect — and payment. We identify every available source of compensation, document damages properly, and apply pressure where it counts. If the other side wants to play games, we're happy to end the game.

Our approach is simple:
  • 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.

Very helpful firm. I was pulling my hair out with everyone else trying to figure out what to do with my case until it was taken over by nick and joe. Attorneys that truly do work for you.

Maggie Crespo
I was a passenger in a car accident when the driver rear ended a car in front of us one winter night. I suffered head, neck and other painful injuries and was admitted to the hospital by an ambulance where I stayed for over three days. After missing work, paying for child care and going to therapy for weeks due to my injuries, I called Joe Vito and Nick Dollenmaier to ask about my options in a personal injury lawsuit. From the beginning of our engagement, Joe and Nick immediately answered my phone calls and explained the whole process of a personal injury case to me including what I should expect. Because I was a passenger and not driving the car, there were added complexities that Joe and Nick were experienced enough to handle. Throughout my process, the attorneys at V&D Law were always willing to answer any questions and even tell me the status of my case. I had always heard that litigation could go on forever but in less than a year, Joe and Nick were able to settle my case with an award that was way above my expectations. Not only did Joe and Nick work to cover all of my medical bills but they fought to get me compensated for all of the work that I missed as well. V&D could not have made this easier for me and my family. If you ever find yourself in an unfortunate car accident with injuries, I would not hesitate to call Joe and Nick. I could not recommend V&D Law more. They are thorough, caring and most importantly, successful.

Katherine Brand
I trust VITO & DOLLENMAIER LAW a better highly recommended INJURY LAW FIRM to solve various injury claims. They did a wonderful job of persistence and perseverance to solve my case. Not to badmouth other injury attorneys but they did not give up until I got my settlement and had all my medical bills paid . A 5 star rating is definitely deserving of them THANKS for all your help.
F
Francis Dadzie
I highly recommend Vito & Dollenmaier Law for their responsive and reliable legal support in car accident cases. They understand the urgency of such situations and promptly address concerns. With their expertise and dedication, I felt supported throughout the process. Trust Vito & Dollenmaier Law for responsive advocacy in your car accident case.
J
Jeff Berber
Highly experienced and supportive attorneys that really care. Not only were they great at taking extra effort to seek maximum award, but they did so by making sure my best interests were always the determining factor in all decisions. I've worked with other attorneys in the past that provided advise on what was best for them and not necessarily their clients. That's not the experience with Joe and Nick! So pleased with the great representation!

Erin Morgan
Just wanted to thank these guys publicly, Thank you so much for returning my phone calls and emails immediately. Effectively communicating with me and answering all my questions and never being frustrated with me harassing you guys. Great job and thank you for all your help. My family and I are truly grateful.

OUR INJURY PRACTICE AREAS

Car Accidents

Car Accidents

Learn more about 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

Premises Liability

Learn more about Premises Liability

A wet floor with no sign. A broken stairway nobody fixed. A dark parking lot the owner didn't bother lighting. Then their insurer argues you should've watched where you were going. Convenient.

We represent clients across the greater Chicago area in premises liability claims: slip and falls, negligent security, unsafe stairs, poor lighting, and other dangerous conditions that never should have been left unaddressed. We move quickly to document the scene, track down incident reports, and

SLIP & FALL ACCIDENTS

Slippery floors, uneven surfaces, and unmarked hazards cause serious injuries. If a property owner's negligence put you on the ground, we can help you hold them accountable.

If You Were Hurt on Someone Else's Property, Let's Talk
Truck Accidents

Truck Accidents

Learn more about Truck Accidents

Truck accidents aren't just bigger car accidents. They're more complicated, more aggressively defended, and the injuries are often catastrophic. Trucking companies and their insurers know what's at stake — and they start protecting themselves the moment a crash is reported.

So do we. We identify every responsible party — driver, carrier, maintenance company — and build a case that reflects the full impact on your life. If the insurer wants to stall or lowball, we push back and take it wherever it needs to go.

Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death

Learn more about Wrongful Death

Nothing makes up for losing someone. A wrongful death claim isn't about that. It's about accountability and making sure the people responsible answer for what happened.

We help families across the greater Chicago area pursue wrongful death claims involving fatal crashes, unsafe property conditions, and other tragedies that never should have happened. We handle the investigation, the evidence, the insurance fights, and the courtroom — so your family isn't forced to lawyer up while grieving.

Slip & Fall

Slip & Fall

Learn more about Slip & Fall

A wet floor with no sign. An icy walkway nobody salted. A broken step the owner ignored for months. Then the insurer argues you should've been paying more attention. We've heard that one before.

We represent slip and fall victims across the greater Chicago area — documenting the hazard, preserving surveillance footage before it disappears, pulling maintenance records, and proving the property owner knew or should have known about the danger. Serious falls cause serious injuries, and we make sure the people responsible pay for what they caused.

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.

There's no honest answer to that without knowing the details. What we can tell you is that most people underestimate what they're owed — especially when future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and long-term pain and suffering get factored in. We look at the full picture before any number gets discussed.

In most personal injury cases, Illinois law gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a claim. Certain circumstances can shorten or extend that window. Don't assume you have time to spare — evidence disappears and witnesses forget details faster than most people expect.

Most cases settle before trial. But we prepare every case as if it's going to court — because that preparation is exactly what puts pressure on insurers to offer fair settlements in the first place.

You may still be able to recover compensation. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can pursue a claim as long as you're found less than 50% at fault. Your recovery would be reduced by your percentage of fault — but that doesn't mean you walk away with nothing.
