Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois?
In Illinois, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to sue. There are exceptions for cases involving government entities or minors.
What types of compensation can I recover in a North Riverside injury case?
You may recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost income. You can also seek non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Illinois law does not cap most personal injury damages, but there are limits for medical malpractice cases.
Do I need to prove the other party was at fault in Illinois?
Yes, Illinois uses a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages only if you are less than 50 percent at fault for the accident. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
