Meet Lucas Guthrie, a local union worker at Caterpillar in Peoria, IL, who faced life-altering circumstances following a severe motorcycle accident that nearly took his life. His journey through pain, recovery, and financial distress highlights the resilience required to overcome such obstacles and the crucial support of a skilled attorney.
While riding his motorcycle at the intersection of 150 & War Memorial, Lucas was hit by a turning car, leading to serious injuries including a dislocated and broken hip necessitating immediate surgery, along with extensive other injuries requiring nearly 50 stitches. The aftermath was just as challenging. Lucas, a young man just celebrating his 26th birthday, found himself incapacitated, facing six months without the ability to walk and grappling with overwhelming medical expenses.
Amidst this turmoil, Lucas encountered another shock—his medical bills soared to nearly a quarter million dollars because the local hospital refused to bill his insurance. This is where Attorney Jim LeFante of LeFante Law Offices stepped in, not just as a lawyer but as a true advocate for his injured client. Jim personally visited Lucas in the hospital to offer his support and ensure that Lucas was not alone in this fight.
Jim LeFante fought tirelessly against the unjust medical billing practices that inflated Lucas’s medical expenses. Through skilled negotiation and unwavering advocacy, Jim succeeded in reducing Lucas’s bills by over $180,000. His efforts not only alleviated Lucas’s financial burden but also allowed him to focus on recovery and rehabilitation without the added stress of insurmountable debt.
In this video, hear Lucas detail his recovery from the accident, the legal battles, and the personal attention he received from Jim LeFante and the team at LeFante Law Offices.
