FAQ

Chicago personal injury questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Illinois?

In most cases, 2 years from the date of the injury (735 ILCS 5/13-202). Claims against a government agency often have much shorter notice deadlines.

What if I was partly at fault for my injury in Illinois?

You can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, and your award is reduced by your share of the blame. (735 ILCS 5/2-1116)

Is Illinois a no-fault car insurance state?

Illinois is an at-fault (tort) state. The at-fault driver's liability insurance pays for the injuries they cause. You can file a claim with their insurer or sue the driver directly.

How much does a personal injury lawyer in Chicago cost?

Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency: they take a percentage of what you recover and nothing if you lose. Percentages, and whether case costs come out before or after the fee, vary by firm, so compare fee agreements in writing.

How are the Chicago lawyers on this page ranked?

By a 100-point score. Half comes from each firm's average position in Google Maps results for "personal injury attorney" and "car accident lawyer" searches in Chicago; half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. We are checking each ranked firm against the state bar. No firm can pay to change its rank.
