Even the most minor of Peoria car accidents can result in serious injuries and damages. Many accident victims take months or years to fully recover from the injuries they suffer. In some cases, they may experience permanent disabilities requiring a lifetime of treatment and care. In addition, accident victims can suffer emotionally, and experience mental anguish and emotional trauma for years after the physical wounds have healed. Treatment for these physical and mental conditions often costs thousands of dollars, but with many accident victims unable to work, families may find themselves struggling to make ends meet after an accident.
Fortunately, the attorneys at Goldfine & Bowles can help you file a personal injury claim to recover financial compensation following your auto accident. In addition to monetary damages, you can take comfort in knowing that the party or parties responsible for your accident are being held accountable for their negligence.
If you are considering filing a lawsuit, it is in your best interest to act as quickly as possible. In Illinois, you will have two years from the day of the crash to file a personal injury suit. Our attorneys can schedule a free initial consultation with you to discuss the details of your case.

Generally, we will look at police reports, photos of injuries and property damage, photos of the scene of the accident, and medical records. We will put together contact information for any eyewitnesses to possibly have them provide a statement or testify in court.
