Peoria Auto Accident Attorney | Rochford and Associates

Car/Auto Accidents

If you’ve suffered the painful consequences of an auto accident, you’re not alone. In 2023, the National Safety Council reported that more than 5.1 million medically consulted injuries resulted from auto accidents.

Of course, that’s probably not much comfort to you if an injury from an auto accident has robbed you of the ability to work and live in the manner you would like. An auto accident can bring personal and financial losses of every kind and magnitude, as well as the anxiety and emotional strain that accompanies dealing with insurance companies, doctors, therapists, distressed family members, employers, and the loss or repair of a vehicle.

But your journey through healing will accelerate when you know that justice has been served and you’ve been compensated fairly for your injuries. With legal support from Rochford & Associates, you can receive the compensation you deserve without letting an accident majorly impact your life and finances.

What Concerns Do You Face with an Auto Accident?

If you’re lucky, damage to your vehicle is the only serious problem you face after an auto accident. However, more often than not, auto accidents aren’t so simple. Collisions can result in injury (or death) for those involved and cause immense physical, emotional, and financial strain. Here’s some of what we see our clients contend with after being involved in a severe vehicle collision:

Vehicle Damage – Unfortunately, your vehicle is likely not coming out of an accident unscathed, with damage ranging from minor dents to total loss. In turn, extensive repair costs might be necessary to get your vehicle in working condition.
Medical Bills – Any injuries you sustain during a collision may ultimately lead to expensive medical treatments. Such treatments may include emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term care.
Loss of Income – If you’re on the mend after an accident, you might lose wages due to missing work. This can create a vicious cycle where you’re unable to pay for your recovery but cannot go back to work until you fully recover.
Mental Anguish – The emotional toll of a severe car accident can be profound. The mental anguish you may experience can include stress, anxiety, depression, or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Insurance Complications – The sad truth about car accidents is that insurance companies don’t make the claims process any easier for victims of a collision. Navigating claims, liability disputes, and settlements can be a frustrating process.
Loss of Mobility – Just being without a functional vehicle is enough to disrupt your day-to-day life. Worse yet is when an injury impacts your physical mobility. Such issues can make commuting, running errands, or attending appointments difficult.

Trusted in Illinois for Over 35 Years

“The Jim Rochford & Associates law firm was extremely helpful in resolving a very difficult and sensitive situation in a federal lawsuit against a school. Tim Cushing served as the lead attorney, and worked closely with Jim Rochford. Attorney Nick Rochford also provided very valuable counsel. On a personal level, they were responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. They were also patient, always available to answer questions, and provided objective legal advice that I knew I could trust. Their attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. In addition, the firm has highly professional and helpful support staff, including Deb Rochford and Mary Thomas, and a network of specialized experts that they collaborate with to provide comprehensive legal solutions. After working with this law firm, I strongly recommend them to anyone needing an extremely responsive law firm that will work tirelessly to protect their clients’ interests. They are highly respected in the legal community, and I would trust them with any legal situation – personal or business.”

Appreciative Client

“Could not have asked for a better experience! Both the attorneys and staff were extremely professional in the handling of my case. They represented me on my worker’s compensation case that was from a summer job in another state. They helped me get a great settlement and it did not take very long either. I would highly recommend Jim Rochford as an attorney for anyone. One thing that stood out about him was I truly believe he always had my best interest at heart.”

Allie Caruso

“I am somewhat late in writing this but team Rochford went above and beyond my expectations while assisting me with my fathers estate after his passing. We unfortunately had a squatter in his home during covid which we were able to successfully remove with the assistance of Tim Cushing’s letters and the PCPD. They really made us feel like family and at no point did I ever feel they were seeking to take advantage of the situation for profit. I would gladly give 6 stars!”
