What Is The Statute Of Limitations For Auto Accident Claims?
While car accidents are common, it is easy to assume it will never happen to you. But a collision can occur at any time, causing trauma and hardships for victims as well as their families. If you or someone you love was seriously hurt in a motor vehicle accident, it is in your best interest to discuss your rights with a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. The statute of limitations in Illinois is two years for personal injury claims.
For more than 30 years, the Maritote Law has handled personal injury claims stemming from auto accidents. We take great pride in helping injured drivers, passengers and pedestrians recover compensation, standing up to the country’s largest insurance companies.

The Insurance Company Is Not On Your Side — Your Attorney Is
You need and deserve compensation for the costs of medical care, for loss of income, and your pain and suffering. However, insurance companies often do everything they can to avoid paying needed benefits to injured people. When injuries are serious or catastrophic, such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, loss of limb or facial disfigurement, it is all the more important to have experienced representation.
Under no circumstances should you sign anything or make any statements to the other party’s insurance company on your own. Instead, reach out to the Maritote Law first. We know how to deal with insurance adjusters. We will not allow your rights to be limited by the tactics they commonly use on those who are not represented by attorneys.
