How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Illinois?

In Illinois, you have limited time to file a personal injury claim after an accident. In most cases, you must file your claim within two years of the accident date. If you don’t file within two years, you may be unable to bring a lawsuit or claim compensation for your losses.

However, there are some exceptions to the rule. For example, workers’ compensation claims and cases involving a minor may have a longer timeframe than a car accident claim. 

It’s vital to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney soon after you’re injured to understand specific timelines and ensure you don’t miss your opportunity to receive financial support for your losses.

What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Accident victims can receive both economic and non-economic damages in Illinois. These damages compensate victims for all the ways they’ve suffered from an accident, including physically, financially, emotionally, and mentally.

Some damages you may be entitled to after an accident include the following:

  • Current medical bills
  • Future medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Disfigurement
  • Mental anguish
  • Punitive damages, in limited cases

You don’t deserve to bear the financial burden of an accident if another person’s careless actions caused your injuries. Our personal injury lawyers are dedicated to helping victims fight for maximum compensation for their damages. Contact our team today to schedule a free case evaluation to see what your claim may be worth.

How Is Pain and Suffering Calculated in Illinois?

While many compensatory damages are straightforward, others are more complex and difficult to calculate. For example, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other non-economic hardships don’t come with a bill or invoice that defines their exact monetary value. You’ll need to work with a skilled personal injury attorney to get fair compensation for these losses.

Our team of Fairview Heights lawyers has the experience and knowledge needed to accurately value pain and suffering using the multiplier method or other proven legal methods. While there is no one way to calculate pain and suffering, we use certain factors to determine that value, including:

  • The severity of your injuries
  • Treatment and recovery times
  • How the injury has impacted your life
  • Your age

To get a better idea of what your claim may be worth and how we can help you pursue a favorable settlement, schedule a free consultation with Brown & Crouppen today.
