Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois
I was injured (broken ankle) on my Mother's property a few years ago. Is there a statute of limitations for filing an insurance claim with her homeowners insurance?

Yes, in Illinois the statute of limitation for filing a claim is two years. Generally, insurance companies have placed the same limitation in the policies they issue. Just to be sure, however, read your policy to make sure.
I hope this helps-

Nima is correct. You generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file suit. The insurance company for your mother will assert the statute of limitations as a defense. There are some limited exceptions to the 2 year statute. You can always file a claim and see what happens. Mistakes happen.
