They Protect Their Bottom Line. We Protect You.

Serious accidents happen throughout DeKalb County. Rozich Law Group represents injury victims across Illinois, DeKalb County included, with the same fight we bring to every case.

Representing injury victims across DeKalb County.

DeKalb County is home to Sycamore, DeKalb, and Northern Illinois University. When a serious accident happens here, the case is filed at the DeKalb County Courthouse (133 W. State Street, Sycamore). DeKalb County doesn't have its own trauma center — Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb treats emergencies, but residents needing higher-level trauma care are typically transported further, most often toward Rockford.

I-88 is the county's main artery, carrying traffic through DeKalb and Rochelle, with US-30 running roughly parallel. IDOT has an active safety project at IL-23 and Chicago Road, a documented trouble spot now slated for a roundabout conversion.

The numbers behind DeKalb County crashes.

In 2023 alone, DeKalb County recorded 1,453 crashes, including 15 fatal ones (source: Illinois Department of Transportation). Behind every one of those numbers is a person whose life changed in an instant — and an insurance company already building a file to pay them as little as possible.

Rozich Law Group has been fighting for accident victims injured in DeKalb County since its inception in 2016. Whatever insurance company is on the other side of your case, we know how they operate, and we don't let them decide what your case is worth.

They'll try to blame you. We won't let them.

Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule. Insurance companies may try to blame you — or claim you were partially at fault — to minimize their exposure, no matter where in DeKalb County the accident happened. We make sure that doesn't happen, and that you're fully compensated.

Common Questions

DeKalb County FAQ

Do I need a DeKalb County-based attorney for a DeKalb County accident?
Not required — Illinois personal injury law is state-uniform, and we handle every local court appearance whether your case is filed in DeKalb, Cook, or anywhere else in Illinois.
Where does my case actually get filed?
Civil cases arising in DeKalb County are filed at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 133 W. State Street in Sycamore, the county seat.
What if my accident happened on I-88, IL-23, or another DeKalb County road?
Highway accidents on corridors like I-88 and IL-23, including at intersections IDOT has flagged for safety improvements, often involve multiple vehicles, higher speeds, and more complicated insurance disputes than a typical local crash. We investigate every angle — traffic camera footage, black box data, witness accounts — to build the strongest possible case.
How long do I have to file a claim after a DeKalb County accident?
Illinois gives you two years to file a personal injury lawsuit — but some notice requirements, especially against government entities, come much sooner. Contact an attorney promptly so no deadline is missed.
