Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Illinois?
In Illinois you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Does Illinois require car insurance and what are the minimum limits?
Yes Illinois requires all drivers to carry liability insurance. The minimum coverage limits are 25,000 dollars per person for bodily injury, 50,000 dollars per accident for bodily injury, and 20,000 dollars for property damage. Uninsured motorist coverage is also required.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes Illinois uses a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 51 percent at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example if you are 20 percent at fault you receive 80 percent of the damages.
