Personal Injury Lawyers in Illinois
From Chicago and its suburbs to Springfield, Rockford, and communities statewide, Illinois personal injury claims commonly involve car accidents, winter-weather slip and fall incidents, and workplace injuries across manufacturing and other industries.
What's different about Illinois
Illinois follows a "modified comparative fault" rule, similar to Texas — you can generally recover compensation as long as you're not more than 50% at fault, with your award reduced by your share of fault. Illinois is not a no-fault auto insurance state, so proving the other driver's fault is typically central to a car accident claim.
Filing deadlines
Illinois sets its own statute of limitations for personal injury claims, with a much shorter notice requirement for claims against government entities. Confirm your exact deadline with a licensed Illinois attorney as soon as possible.
