If you’re involved in a vehicle accident, you should consider filing for a claim against the at-fault driver timely. For your reference, these are statute of limitations in the State of Illinois:
  • Property Damage (PD). You must file for PD claims within 5 years of the accident, regardless of your age at the time of the accident.
  • Bodily Injury (BI). You must file a claim within 2 years during the accident. And, within 2 years from your 18th birthday if you were underage during the accident.
  • PD or BI done by a government entity. If a government entity has caused your accident, you may file a claim within the statute of limitations implemented for the said entity. Otherwise, you may risk not getting any compensation at all.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At Mike Agruss Law, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE.  We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process.  You will not owe us a penny unless you get money.
