What happens when a slip and fall injury turns into a life-threatening emergency?
Jo Hackett’s powerful story begins with a tragic fall in a hospital bathroom that left her with four broken ribs and a punctured lung. At first, Jo didn’t realize how serious her injuries were — unaware she was suffering internal trauma. It wasn’t until she could barely breathe that her daughter, an experienced nurse, rushed her to the hospital.
Doctors quickly realized Jo’s condition was critical. A thoracic surgeon had to remove a liter and a half of blood from her chest, ultimately saving her life. But her journey didn’t end there.
Jo’s family knew she needed legal representation—someone who would fight for her rights after the devastating accident. That’s when a trusted attorney referred her to Jim LeFante, managing partner of LeFante Law Offices, P.C. in Peoria, IL. What followed, according to Jo, was a legal experience unlike anything she expected.
Jim and his entire staff treated Jo with genuine care, making her feel like the only client that mattered. They launched a full investigation, kept her informed every step of the way, and appeared before the judge twice to fight for her case. Jo says Jim’s approach was warm, honest, and deeply professional—like “talking to your husband across the table.” His communication was constant. His compassion was real. And his results were exactly what she needed.
If you or someone you love has suffered an injury from a slip and fall accident, you deserve an advocate who truly listens and delivers results. At LeFante Law, clients are never treated like just another case number. You’re treated like family.
