Illinois Law Limits How Long You Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Calumet City
Illinois law (735 ILCS 5/12-1102) generally only gives us two years from the date of an accident to take legal action and hold the negligent party responsible. If we miss this deadline, the court will likely bar us from pursuing compensation on your behalf in court. Since we usually want to try to reach an out-of-court settlement before we file a lawsuit, it is essential we get started on your case as soon as possible.
