Personal Injury FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance companies work very hard to pay you as little as possible. One of the ways you can prevent that is by being as informed as possible. Here are some of our recurring questions that clients give us that you may find helpful.

Have a question about a personal injury case?

Personal injury law is complex and can be confusing.  But, it doesn’t have to be.

At LeFante Law, we make it easy to speak with a personal injury attorney and understand your rights.  Call (309) 455-8826 now and schedule a free consultation.  There is no fee unless we win.

Settlement amounts in personal injury cases can vary widely based on the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost income, and the strength of the case.

Minor injuries may settle for a few thousand dollars, while serious or permanent injuries often result in settlements ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars—or more. In cases involving catastrophic injuries or wrongful death, settlements can reach into the millions.

At LeFante Law Offices, we fight to maximize your recovery and ensure you receive fair compensation for all you’ve endured.  The best way to understand what your case may be worth is to contact us for a free consultation. There is no fee unless we win.

A personal injury lawyer represents individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of others.

Personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including:

  • Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents

  • Workplace injuries and workers’ compensation claims

  • Slip and fall accidents

  • Medical malpractice

  • Nursing home abuse and neglect

  • Product liability and defective products

  • Wrongful death claims

At every stage of your claim, our personal injury lawyers protects your interests—conducting investigations, consulting with experts, negotiating settlements, and litigating in court if necessary. We handle the complexities of your case, while keeping you fully informed, so you can focus on your health and your future.

Winning a personal injury lawsuit depends on several key factors, including the strength of the evidence, the clarity of liability, the severity of your injuries, and the quality of the legal strategy used to present your case.  This is why hiring a proven personal injury firm like LeFante Law is so important.

To win, we must demonstrate that another party was negligent, that their negligence caused your injuries, and that you suffered measurable damages as a result. Insurance companies and defense attorneys often work hard to minimize or deny claims. An effective attorney will gather critical evidence, consult expert witnesses, negotiate with insurers, and, if necessary, present a compelling case in court.

At LeFante Law Offices, we have a proven track record of helping injury victims secure the compensation they deserve. We understand how to build the strongest possible case, and we are committed to fighting for you every step of the way.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, contact LeFante Law Offices today for a free consultation.  There is no fee unless we win.

LeFante Law Offices works on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees for legal services, and there are no fees unless we win.

Instead, our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you through a settlement or court verdict. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

This contingency arrangement ensures that anyone can afford experienced and proven legal representation, regardless of their financial situation. It also means our interests are fully aligned with yours — we are motivated to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

If you’ve been injured and are considering your legal options, contact us today for a free consultation. Again, there is no fee unless we in.

The timeline for resolving a personal injury claim can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case. Some claims may settle within a few months, while others—especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability—can take a year or longer to fully resolve.

Several factors influence how long a case takes, including the extent of your injuries, the time needed for medical treatment and recovery, the investigation process, negotiations with insurance companies, and whether a lawsuit must be filed. It’s also important not to settle too soon as it may result in compensation that does not fully cover the long-term impact of your injuries.

At LeFante Law Offices we act with urgency to build strong cases and negotiate fair settlements while always keeping your best interests in mind. If necessary, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to secure the compensation you deserve.

Every case is different, which is why we offer a free consultation to review your specific case.  Contact us today and schedule a free consultation with our team of attorneys. There is no fees unless we win.

Maximizing compensation from a personal injury claim involves several important steps. First and foremost, it’s critical to seek immediate medical attention and follow your doctor’s treatment plan carefully. Consistent medical records not only support your recovery but also serve as vital evidence of your injuries.

You should also document everything related to your injury, including medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and any changes to your daily life. The more detailed and organized your evidence, the stronger your case will be.

Another key factor is avoiding early settlement offers from insurance companies. Insurers often try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. It’s important to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer before accepting any offer.

At LeFante Law Offices, we know how to build strong cases that reflect the full extent of your losses. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and are fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary to secure the maximum compensation available.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

Illinois car accident lawyers you can trust

Get the legal help you need after a car accident

Car accidents can happen in the blink of an eye, suddenly turning your life upside down with injuries, damage, and legal worries. Insurance companies may encourage you to settle without contacting an attorney, but are you sure that will cover your medical bills, car repairs, and lost wages? If you’ve been in a wreck, retaining our team of skilled, experienced car accident lawyers is the best way to ensure you receive compensation to cover all your costs.

LeFante Law Offices, P.C. is a legal company that takes pride in representing individuals who have been in accidents or suffered injuries through the fault of others. As Personal Injury Lawyers, we are dedicated to pursuing justice for our clients and ensuring they receive fair compensation for their losses. We understand that the legal process can be overwhelming and complex, but with our experienced team of lawyers, we guide our clients through every step of the court process. Whether you have been in a car accident or suffered an injury due to another’s negligence, our Car Accident Lawyers or Auto Accident lawyers are here to help. Our goal is to provide our clients with personalized attention and support to ensure they receive the justice they deserve.

WRONGFUL DEATH

Losing a loved one due to wrongful death can be an excruciatingly painful experience, and as a Wrongful Death Lawyer, we understand the devastating impact it can have on a family. Whether the loss was caused by an on-the-job accident, a motor vehicle accident, or medical malpractice, we are committed to fighting for the rights of our clients and holding the responsible party accountable. We know that the criminal justice system can be daunting, but with our experienced team of lawyers, we ensure that our clients receive a fair trial and that justice is served. We believe that every person is innocent until proven guilty, and it is our duty to protect the innocence of our clients. As a judge once said, “Better ten guilty men go free than one innocent man be wrongly convicted.” We stand by this principle and work tirelessly to defend the rights of the innocent and ensure that those who are guilty are held responsible for their actions.

From bills to college funds, death can change the entire landscape of a family’s finances. Monetary compensation can go a long way in helping to provide for the spouse, children, and other family members that are left behind.

If you have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident, you need representation that will handle all legal matters and aggressively pursue the party or parties at fault. At LeFante Law Offices, P.C. of Peoria, we know there is nothing we can do to bring your loved one back. We also understand that monetary damages are a hollow means of restitution and provide little comfort. They are, however, the only legal means of restitution for these types of injuries. We seek these damages on behalf of our clients as a token of justice for the loved one who is gone, and our mission is to obtain full compensation for your family and hold those responsible for the death of your loved one accountable.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

The workplace can be a very dangerous place. Every year, thousands of workers are injured on the job, some very seriously, others fatally. The workers’ compensation system was designed to ensure workers are protected financially in the event of a workplace injury. At Lefante Law Offices, P.C., we have award-winning personal injury lawyers who handle personal injury cases of all types. When you are injured at work, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits regardless of fault. Benefits are paid by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

If you’ve been injured at work, it’s important to seek the help of a Workers Comp Lawyer to ensure that you receive the compensation and support you deserve. While your employer is required to provide workers’ compensation benefits, the process of obtaining them can be complex and difficult to navigate on your own. Our team of experienced lawyers is here to provide you with the defense you need and to gather the evidence necessary to support your claim. We understand that a workplace injury can be a traumatic experience, and we are here to guide you through everything, from filing the initial claim to representing you in court if necessary. As a victim of a workplace injury, you have rights, and we are committed to fighting for those rights and ensuring that you receive the compensation you deserve.

BRAIN INJURY

DO YOU NEED A BRAIN INJURY LAWYER?

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

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

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.
