In Illinois, most personal injury cases must be filed within 2 years of the injury. Property damage claims may be filed within 5 years.

Yes. Illinois follows the modified comparative negligence rule (51% rule). You can recover compensation as long as you are 50% or less at fault, but your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

You may recover:

  • Medical expenses (past & future)

  • Lost wages & reduced earning ability

  • Property damage

  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

  • Wrongful death benefits (for surviving families)
