Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Illinois?
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue. It is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your claim.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Glen Ellyn?
Even minor accidents can lead to hidden injuries or disputes with insurance companies. Illinois law requires you to report accidents that cause injury, death, or property damage over a certain amount. A lawyer can review your case and advise whether legal help is needed.
How does Illinois comparative fault law affect my case?
Illinois uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot recover any damages. A lawyer can help argue that the other driver was primarily responsible.
