Is There a Time Limit for Filing an Injury Claim in IL?

It is common in the area of civil law for different types of claims to have a statute of limitations. This is the legal term for the time limit a plaintiff (injured person) has to file their claim for damages. Many people do not know how long the statute of limitations is, or even that there is a deadline for filing their claim, and, as a result, miss their opportunity to pursue compensation.

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for injury claims is two years from the date the injury occurred. This includes civil claims for medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death. We highly recommend that you speak to a personal injury lawyer in Chicago as quickly as you can after your injury. The sooner your lawyer can start preparing your case, the better your chances of recovering the compensation you deserve.

How a Personal Injury Attorney in Chicago Can Help

Don't be taken advantage of! Many insurance companies and other businesses only have themselves in mind when handling these sorts of cases. 

A Chicago personal injury lawyer can help by:

  • Avoiding issues: Experienced attorneys know the typical mistakes claimants make, such as missing deadlines, making damaging statements to insurers, etc., and help you sidestep them.
  • Translating legal jargon: A lawyer explains everything in clear, simple language so you understand your rights and options.
  • Negotiating with insurance companies: Insurers often try to minimize payouts. Your attorney knows how to push back, negotiate effectively, and pursue the full compensation you're entitled to.
  • Representing you in court: If your case goes to trial, your lawyer can build a compelling case, handle court filings, and advocate on your behalf.
  • Reducing your stress: From handling paperwork to communicating with insurers and opposing counsel, your lawyer takes the pressure off so you can focus on your recovery.

With representation from an experienced accident lawyer in Chicago, you can rest easy, knowing that your rights are being upheld throughout every step of the case proceedings.

Types of Compensation You Can Recover After a Personal Injury

What types of damages are covered by a personal injury claim? In Illinois, you are free to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. 

Economic and non-economic damages can include:

  • Medical bills
  • Future medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Lost earning potential
  • Property damages
  • Therapy costs
  • Emotional distress
  • Disability
  • Pain & suffering

When preparing for a personal injury case, it is incredibly helpful to your attorney if you keep a detailed record of your medical costs and other expenses that resulted from your injury.
