Recovering Damages as a Partly At-Fault Pedestrian in Elmwood Park, Illinois If you were hit by a car while walking in Elmwood Park and believe you may have been partially
In Illinois, the general statute of limitations for personal injury actions is two (2) years from the date of the injury. If you miss that deadline, a court will likely dismiss your case as untimely.
There are important exceptions and variations:
Because these rules are technical and fact-dependent, it is important to consult legal counsel early, before the deadline expires.
You can recover either or both economic and non-economic damages.
In wrongful death cases, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of financial support may also be recoverable.
Generally, Illinois does not allow punitive damages (to punish the defendant) in ordinary negligence cases. Punitive damages are only permitted in limited circumstances, such as certain intentional or willful misconduct.
Illinois follows a modified comparative fault rule (also called the 51% rule). Under this rule, you may still recover damages so long as your share of fault is less than 50%.
If you are found partially at fault, the damages you can recover would be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, you are 30% at fault. In that case, you receive 70% of what you would otherwise get.
If a court or jury finds that you were 50% or more at fault, you will likely be barred from recovering anything.
Because fault allocation can be contested, gathering strong evidence and legal advocacy are important in such cases.
To build a persuasive personal injury claim, the injured party generally needs to prove the following:
The common types of evidence include:
Because each case differs, gathering evidence promptly while recollections and physical evidence are fresh is often critical to a strong claim.
You are not legally required to have an attorney. Still, so many injured parties choose legal representation because the process can involve complex procedural rules, negotiation with insurance companies, litigation risks, and technical liability issues.
Personal injury lawyers, such as Furqan Mohammad, frequently work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they are paid a percentage of the recovery (if successful). The client typically does not pay attorney fees out of pocket if the case is unsuccessful, unless the parties have agreed otherwise in writing.
Before hiring, you should ask us to explain:
Having an attorney does not guarantee success, but an experienced lawyer can help you navigate deadlines, preserve evidence, address liability disputes, and push back against insurance company tactics.
