Our #1 goal is to build your best case – a case that wins. Too many personal injury attorneys don’t go the full distance and give you your best chance at a full recovery.
That’s why our lawyers prepare every case for trial. It’s the hardest way to build a case. Preparing for trial is the most in-depth preparation an attorney can do so you get the best possible outcome. Without this preparation, you risk losing your best chance at a winning case.
Compassion | Understanding | Communication
“After a car accident in the north end of Rockford, I reached out to get their advice and quotes for their services. Their attention to detail & determination to help me with my case sold me on picking them to represent me. They are very professional, efficient, and put my concerns about the lawsuit at ease. I’m very thankful for their services and highly recommend them for injury cases!”

Immediately! It’s the best first step you can take…
Our consultation is free and we can give you proper guidance to ease the stress of your situation. Some of the most important issues that take place in personal injury cases happen in the first 30-days. You will have a much easier time throughout the entire lawsuit if you hire us from the start.
It’s advisable to give our law firm a call to see we can help you — there is NO FEE.
Personal injury attorneys are only as strong and effective as their ability to truly understand your situation. Injury attorneys need to have compassion, provide outstanding communication, and ask you any and every question they need to best understand what you’re going through.
These are characteristics of what it takes to create a winning case.
Giving solid advice regardless if that person is a client or not. Even when they cannot fit your case into their workday — they will help to find someone as qualified to help you out.
“These guy are the best in the business in this area of law. If you have a personal injury, car accident, motorcycle collision or other type of case, call Paul right away. They will aggressively fight for your rights.”

We’ll help manage the impact of the injury on you and your family’s life. Often, our clients suffer an injury that requires time off work. Physical pain, physical therapy, or surgeries. The financial uncertainty can be devastating. We can help fill in the gaps by looking into social security, disability, or loan options.
When working with a personal injury lawsuit – you don’t need a lawyer but statistics show that hiring one results in more compensation.
It is not uncommon for someone to come to us after an insultingly low offer from an insurance company while trying to handle a claim on their own. If we take a case on under such circumstances it’s fairly typical that just by calling as the client’s lawyer that we will get the “real” offer. Then we can start trying to work our way up from there to recover more money for the client.
Insurance companies are the gatekeepers to an injured victim’s financial recovery, but their priority is to pay as little money out as possible.
They don’t care about what someone or their family has to go through after suffering an injury. All they are concerned with is paying as little as they possibly can to make a case go away.
By building your best case we can push adjusters into paying out higher settlements or risking us filing a lawsuit and potentially costing them even more money at trial.
You can always call, text, or e-mail Rockford Personal Injury Lawyers 24/7/365 to confidentially discuss your case.
Our firm only handles injury cases. Whether it’s from a car accident, work injury, or a premises liability case, we know the in’s and out’s of the Illinois legal system to fight for your financial recovery.
Our attorneys have settled or litigated injury claims against the following insurance companies:
Likewise we have either filed lawsuits or resolved cases by settlement with some of the following entities for our clients:
Every case and every client is different.
Some client check-ins are weekly. We like to know where you’re at during treatment and how the physical recovery is going.
Others we may speak with once a month to get general updates and to see how they are doing.
In catastrophic cases, we are frequently visiting our clients and their family’s at the hospital, clinic, physical rehabilitation center, or at their homes. We need a deep understanding of the situation so we can offer the best support we can.
We narrowly tailor our approach to representation to fit our clients’ needs.
Each case is different. Some cases with clear liability and clear damages can be resolved without filing a lawsuit, or even coming close to a courthouse. Others are different, maybe there is an issue with establishing liability against the person who caused the injury.
Filing a lawsuit and going to court are not things to be afraid of. Insurance companies routinely look at lawsuits to see if the attorney asking them for money actually litigates their cases. We’ve dealt with a number of insurance companies, and filed lawsuits or litigated claims against global corporations (Ford, McDonalds, Burger King, Southwest Airlines, educational institutions, Chicago Transit Authority, and Rockford Mass Transit Authority).
We’re not afraid to fight a case and use the judicial system to pursue justice on behalf of our clients.
Our clients are always welcome to attend any, and every hearing we have on their case. Whether it’s for simply letting the Judge know we have served the other party with a written complaint, or if we’re just scheduling depositions, or written discovery matters, many house-keeping or routine dates do not require a client to ever be present in court.
If a court date requires a client to be present we can help prepare even the most nervous and apprehensive client on what to expect, how things work in the courtroom, and walk them through step-by-step what will happen when we are in court for them. We’ve even taken clients to the courtroom on a different date when their case isn’t on the docket, so they can see the room while empty, and get a good mental image of how things look, and how things will work when it’s time to argue their case.
We are aware that the idea of court can make people nervous, but rest assured, that we have guided plenty of clients throughout the court process and we are here to help you as well.
We generally focus on cases that involve bodily injury. Whether from a car crash, workplace accident, premises liability case in a store, restaurant, bar, bus, train, airplane, etc., or some kind of medical malpractice based issue.
We litigate cases throughout Illinois. We can and have represented injured Illinois residents that had claims arising from incidents outside of the State. In such cases we have either been able to work out settlement arrangements through finding local counsel in that jurisdiction, or by finding local counsel that can litigate a case by filing a lawsuit.
Attorney Paul Marriett is also licensed in Florida and available to service clients there.
Our attorneys are experienced in birth defects, birth injuries, wrongful birth claims, and lawsuits.
Injuries at birth can be under personal injury, malpractice claim, and cross over into other areas of personal injury law.
If you’ve experienced complications at birth that you feel could have been prevented, please contact us.
Nerve pain can change day-to-day. Just because it’s better today doesn’t mean it will be tomorrow. Make sure you don’t accept an insurance claim without getting a full recommendation from your doctor.
Yes, you can.
Any accident that resulted in an injury and was caused by the neglect or recklessness of someone else falls under Personal Injury Law.
