Step-by-Step Guide
In Illinois, you are legally required to report accidents involving injury, death, or significant property damage. Call 911 from the scene in Hanover Park and request both police and medical assistance.
Go to a hospital or urgent care — even if you feel fine. Many injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding don't show symptoms immediately. Nearby hospitals include AMITA Health Alexian Brothers (nearby Elk Grove Village).
Take photos and videos of all vehicles, injuries, road conditions, traffic signals, and skid marks. Get names, phone numbers, and insurance information from all parties and witnesses.
Insurance companies will contact you quickly — often within 24 hours. Their goal is to get a recorded statement they can use against you and to offer a lowball settlement before you understand your claim's true value.
Illinois's statute of limitations is 2 years (735 ILCS 5/13-202). However, critical evidence — surveillance footage, witness memories, vehicle data — degrades rapidly. The sooner you call Bond Legal at (866) 423-7724, the stronger your case.
Every doctor visit, prescription, therapy session, and medical bill becomes evidence of your damages. Keep a daily journal documenting your pain levels, limitations, and emotional impact.
Illinois Law
Source: 735 ILCS 5/2-1116 (amended 2023)
As of January 2023, Illinois shifted from pure comparative fault to a modified system — you cannot recover if you are 51% or more at fault.
Source: 735 ILCS 5/13-202
In Illinois, you generally have 2 years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline typically bars you from recovering any compensation. There are limited exceptions for minors, discovery of latent injuries, and government claims — consult an attorney immediately.
No cap on compensatory damages in most personal injury cases. Illinois has no statutory ceiling on economic or non-economic damages, making full recovery possible for seriously injured victims.
Modified Comparative Fault (2023 Change)
735 ILCS 5/2-1116
Effective January 1, 2023, Illinois shifted from pure comparative fault to a modified 51% bar system. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. Cases filed before this date may still use the prior pure comparative standard.
Mandatory Auto Insurance
625 ILCS 5/7-601
Illinois requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident bodily injury, $20,000 property damage). UM/UIM coverage is required to be offered but not mandatory to carry.
Wrongful Death Act
740 ILCS 180
Illinois' Wrongful Death Act allows the personal representative of the deceased to bring suit on behalf of the surviving spouse, children, and next of kin. There is no cap on wrongful death damages in Illinois.
Dram Shop Act
235 ILCS 5/6-21
Illinois' Dram Shop Act allows injured persons to hold bars, restaurants, and liquor stores liable for serving alcohol to an intoxicated person who subsequently causes injury. Damages are subject to an annually adjusted cap (~$91,000 for personal injury, ~$101,000 for property damage in 2024).
Joint & Several Liability (Partial)
735 ILCS 5/2-1117
Illinois applies joint and several liability only to medical expenses. For non-economic damages, defendants are severally liable only for their percentage of fault unless they are 25% or more at fault.
