What Is The Statute Of Limitations For A Personal Injury Claim In Illinois?

In Illinois, including Aurora, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date when the injury occurred. However, there are exceptions:

  • Claims against government entities may have shorter deadlines.
  • Medical malpractice cases might have a different discovery rule.
  • Cases involving minors may have extended deadlines.

It’s crucial to discuss your case with an experienced Aurora personal injury lawyer immediately to ensure you meet all critical deadlines.

How Is Pain And Suffering Calculated In Illinois?

Pain and suffering damages in Illinois, including Aurora, are typically calculated by assessing the totality of the injury and its impact on the person, including:

  1. Nature of the injury. Is it a catastrophic injury (like paraplegia or brain injury), a severe injury (like fractured bones or nerve damage) or a mild injury? Does the injury cause extreme pain, severe pain, moderate pain or mild pain?
  2. Duration of the injury. Is the injury permanent? Will it last for a few years? Or is the injury temporary?
  3. Extent of the injury. How much does the injury interfere with the person’s life and daily activities?

Every case is unique to each person, and we have to evaluate all of these factors to make sure we get a full recovery for pain and suffering damages.

Our experienced Aurora personal injury attorneys are here to help you maximize your compensation for pain and suffering in your case.

What Compensation Can You Receive For Your Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury compensation is the sum of money you will receive as part of your settlement or verdict. We wrote above about one part of the calculation – pain and suffering – but there are many more dimensions to an award than just that. Damages as a whole fall into two categories, economic damages and noneconomic damages, and we will look closely at both of them here.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are – essentially – any bill you receive as part of your recovery from the accident. They are called “economic” because a hard and fast dollar amount is attached to them. They can include:

  • Hospital bills
  • Rehab costs
  • Transportation reimbursement
  • Medical equipment
  • Psychiatric visits

If you must pay to do something now because you have an injury that wasn’t your fault, that cost is economic damage. The law seeks to cover these in full.

Noneconomic Damages

The noneconomic damages of an accident are much harder to define. They are all the ways you suffer that don’t necessarily have a price tag. Pain and suffering above are noneconomic damages, as are punitive damages and loss of consortium.

In Illinois, noneconomic damages do not have a cap, and so they are potentially much higher than other types of damages and often hotly contested in court. Whatever type of damages you pursue in your case, our team of attorneys will be leading the way.

What Is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?

The worth of a personal injury case is as unique as the victims. Everything about you, your case, your accident and your injuries is unique. No attorney would give you a hard number for what your case is worth because we wouldn’t want to overestimate or discourage you by underestimating.

At a minimum, your potential compensation should recover the economic damages to sort out all your medical bills. Where things vary, inevitably, will be in the noneconomic damages. It takes the attention and insight of experienced lawyers to explain all the contributing factors in your case. And we are happy to have that conversation with you.
