Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Generally you have two years from the date of the accident by which time you must have filed a lawsuit. Three weeks after the accident you should be OK. The procedure is to make a claim wither with your own insurance or that of the other driver.

You would do yourself a huge favor if you go ahead and talk to an attorney first. Generally, the first consultation is free and these sort of cases are taken on contingency--that is you need not pay anything and there will be no fee if there is not a recovery.

It is ok to contact my office if you have any more questions.

Generally, adults have two years after the date of an accident to file a lawsuit.

A claim can be filed with the insurance company of the other driver just by talking with them. You can choose to hire an attorney to do this.

Generally you have two years from the date of the accident by which time you must have filed a lawsuit.

In the meantime if you need your medical bills paid right away you should make two claims, one under your medical payments coverage from your own insurance company. They will pay the mediocal expenses immediately.

At the same time, you should submit a claim against the other driver's iinsurance company. they will take some time to determine what they consider to be a fair offer to you.

Your claim against the other insurance company's driver is based generally on your pain and suffering , medical expenses, disability and lost wages.

Good luck and feel free to contact me if you need clarification of this explanation.

Dear Sirs,

You have two (2) years from the date of accident.

However, should you wish to file a claim, you should contact an experienced lawyer to discuss your rights.

There are a number of elements of damage you may claim as part of your lawsuit.

Many thanks,

Sincerely,

John C. Wunsch, P.C.
