What Is the Deadline for Recovering Compensation in Chicago?
Under Illinois’ statute of limitations, outlined in 735 ILCS 5/13-202, you typically have two years to recover compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. There can be exceptions to this deadline, so it’s important to talk to your lawyer about the timeline for your case.
In addition to meeting legal deadlines, getting started on your case as early as possible can also help with the preservation of important evidence.

How Is Fault Proven in Chicago Personal Injury Cases?
To prove fault in abuse or neglect-based cases, your lawyer will investigate what happened. Helpful evidence for proving that abuse or negligence occurred includes:
- Witness testimonies.
- Video footage, such as from a security camera.
- Staffing records.
- Medical records.
- Police reports.
- Incident reports or prior complaints.
- Digital communications, including texts and emails.
Every piece of evidence that is collected helps to build a compelling case for your compensation.
What Can You Do After a Personal Injury in Chicago?
Whether the injury or abuse happened to you or a loved one, the priority is always the health and safety of the victim. Get medical attention as soon as possible, and ensure that the police are notified.
Additionally, you can get contact information from any witnesses and take photos of visible injuries. In the days and weeks that follow, do not give recorded statements to insurance adjusters until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
An insurer may reach out with a quick settlement offer, but first offers are often much lower than you deserve. Our legal team can advise you about any offers that you may receive.
