What You Need to Know About Illinois Personal Injury Law
Modified Comparative Negligence
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may recover compensation if you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault.
Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury lawsuits in Illinois must be filed within two years of the accident. Certain exceptions may apply, making it important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
Proving Your Claim
To recover compensation, you generally must establish:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care.
- That duty was breached.
- The breach directly caused your injuries.
- You suffered measurable damages.
Strong evidence—including medical records, accident reports, photographs, expert testimony, and witness statements—can significantly strengthen your case.
What Should You Do After an Injury Accident?
If you’ve been injured:
- Seek medical attention immediately.
- Report the accident to the appropriate authorities.
- Document the accident scene if possible.
- Obtain contact information for witnesses.
- Preserve medical records and receipts.
- Avoid discussing fault with insurance adjusters.
- Contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
Taking these steps can help protect both your health and your legal claim.
