Jon E. Rosenstengel

Jon E. Rosenstengel is a personal injury and workers’ compensation attorney in Belleville, Illinois, who represents people injured through negligence or workplace accidents. His practice includes construction injuries, traffic collisions, and truck accident claims. Jon devotes his litigation practice to plaintiffs rather than insurance companies. With decades of experience, he works to establish how an injury occurred, identify supporting evidence, and pursue compensation connected to the losses clients have experienced.

Jon completed a B.S. at the University of Illinois in 1990 and attended Southern Illinois University School of Law, graduating in 1993 with a J.D. He was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1993 and the Missouri Bar in 1994. His legal education and long courtroom career support his work in state and federal litigation, including cases where accident facts, witness accounts, and the extent of an injury are disputed.

Before becoming an attorney, Jon worked as a private investigator for a law firm. That experience continues to shape his approach to personal injury cases. He understands the importance of securing witness statements, documenting accident scenes, and obtaining photographs that help explain what happened. His investigation experience is particularly useful when physical evidence and eyewitness accounts are central to a dispute. He applies those investigative skills to workers’ compensation and negligence claims, including incidents at construction sites and collisions involving commercial trucks. His background helps him assess disputes from an evidence-focused perspective.

Jon E. Rosenstengel has practiced law since the early 1990s and devotes 100 percent of his legal practice to litigation for plaintiffs. He is admitted to federal courts in the Central and Southern Districts of Illinois, in addition to his state bar admissions. His combination of litigation experience and earlier investigative work supports a careful approach to evidence gathering and case preparation, especially when injured clients face contested claims.
