Many firms handle personal injury claims. What sets LeFante Law apart is a commitment to your recovery that goes well beyond winning your case.
Founding attorney James P. LeFante spent years defending major insurers before switching sides — that insider knowledge shapes every negotiation and trial strategy we pursue on your behalf.
We initiate contact at every stage. You will always know what is happening, what comes next, and why.
We actively negotiate to reduce your medical bills and liens after your case resolves — one client saved $180,000 this way.
These relationships have helped clients receive critical diagnoses that might otherwise have gone undetected.
Pursuing a personal injury claim with LeFante Law follows a clear, four-step process designed to minimize your stress and maximize your recovery.
Contact us for a no-obligation case evaluation. We review the details of your situation, explain your legal options, and answer your questions — at no cost to you.
Our legal team investigates your accident, gathers evidence, obtains medical records, consults with specialists, and builds the strongest possible case on your behalf.
We negotiate directly with insurance companies to pursue a fair settlement. If they refuse to offer what your case is worth, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
You receive your compensation through a settlement or verdict. Our work then continues as we negotiate to reduce outstanding medical bills and liens, ensuring you keep as much of your recovery as possible. We only collect a fee when you do — that is our contingency fee promise.
Founded in 2009 by personal injury attorney James P. LeFante, a former insurance defense lawyer who chose to use his insider knowledge to help injured people instead of the companies working against them, LeFante Law Offices, P.C. has grown into a personal injury law firm of five attorneys and dedicated legal staff serving Central Illinois from offices in Peoria and Bloomington.
We provide legal representation for individuals and families navigating some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Our approach goes beyond standard legal counsel: we partner with clients through their full physical, financial, and emotional recovery, connecting them with medical resources, advocating for reduced bills, and communicating proactively at every stage. That is what meaningful personal injury representation looks like.

Our personal injury team prioritizes communication and education. Below is a list of the most commonly asked personal injury case questions we see everyday at our law firm.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees upfront. The attorney’s fee is a percentage of the compensation recovered on your behalf — typically between 33% and 40%. If no recovery is made, you owe nothing for legal representation. LeFante Law Offices, P.C. offers a free consultation to evaluate your case before you commit to anything.
If your injuries are significant, liability is disputed, or an insurance company has offered a low settlement, consulting a personal injury attorney is strongly recommended. Injury victims represented by experienced legal counsel consistently recover higher compensation than those who negotiate on their own, because attorneys handle evidence gathering, witness coordination, and negotiation with insurers who have legal teams working against your interests.
Personal injury attorneys represent clients in cases involving negligence or wrongful conduct that caused physical harm. Common case types include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall injuries, medical malpractice, wrongful death, workplace injuries, product liability, construction accidents, nursing home negligence, brain injuries, and dog bites. If someone else’s carelessness caused your injury, a personal injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for your losses.
Most personal injury cases resolve within six to eighteen months, though complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties can take longer. The timeline depends on factors including the extent of your injuries, the duration of medical treatment, whether litigation is necessary, and the willingness of the insurance company to offer a fair settlement. Many claims settle through negotiation without going to trial.
Personal injury compensation generally falls into two categories. Economic damages cover measurable financial losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs, and property damage. Non-economic damages address quality-of-life impacts including pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving extreme recklessness, punitive damages may also be available. The total value of a personal injury claim depends on injury severity, total medical costs, impact on earning capacity, and available insurance coverage.
After any accident, seek medical attention immediately — even if your injuries seem minor. Document the scene with photos, collect contact information from witnesses, and obtain a copy of the police report. Do not provide recorded statements to the other party’s insurance company without speaking to an attorney first, as those statements can be used to reduce your compensation. Before accepting any settlement offer, contact a personal injury attorney for a free case evaluation to understand the full value of your claim.
Every personal injury claim is unique, and there is no universal formula for determining case value. The worth of your case depends on injury severity, total medical expenses, impact on your ability to work, the degree of negligence involved, and available insurance coverage. A free consultation with a personal injury attorney at LeFante Law can provide a preliminary case evaluation and help you understand what compensation may be available in your situation.

Successful Traumatic Brain Injury Attorney
What is a brain injury?
The brain can be hurt any time an injury or impact causes the brain to hit the inside of the skull, as frequently happens in car accidents when the head is stopped while still in motion. The skull doesn’t have to be fractured or penetrated for a brain injury to occur. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be present even without visible exterior wounds to the head. The brain can also be injured in situations that don’t involve an impact, such as when the brain suffers a loss of blood or restricted oxygen.
Truck accidents can be some of the most devastating on the road, often causing severe injuries and even death. If you or a loved one has been involved in a truck accident, it’s important to seek the help of an experienced Truck Accident Lawyer who can help you fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve. Without skilled representation, you will likely be ineffective in gathering the evidence needed to successfully fight for compensation.
The improper operation of large trucks and tractor-trailers on Illinois roads is the cause of hundreds of catastrophic accidents and fatalities each year. When trucking regulations are ignored, these massive vehicles can cause immense damage. James P. LeFante will use his experience defending truck drivers from accident claims to aggressively fight for your rights.
Motorcycle accidents are among the most brutal on the road, often resulting in the death of riders and passengers. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a deadly accident on the road than those in passenger cars.
At LeFante Law Offices, we understand the unique challenges and risks that motorcyclists face on the road, and we are here to help. Our experienced Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of motorcyclists who have been injured in accidents. We know that even the most careful riders can be involved in accidents that are caused by the negligence or recklessness of other drivers. That’s why we work tirelessly to investigate the details of each case and build a strong case on behalf of our clients.
As a motorcycle enthusiast, James P. LeFante of LeFante Law Offices, P.C., understands the risks of riding. Even with safety helmets, motorcyclists are exposed to the elements without the benefit of airbags and thousands of pounds of protective metal around them.
You have enough to worry about right now. Let LeFante Law Offices, P.C. — Central Illinois’ trusted personal injury lawyers — handle the legal burden while you focus on getting better. Your consultation is free, and there is no fee unless we win.
