Damages Caps in Illinois Personal Injury Claims  

In Illinois, personal injury claims against the state are subject to specific limitations, particularly regarding the amount of damages that can be awarded. These limitations are part of the state's sovereign immunity laws, which generally protect the government from lawsuits except in cases where it has explicitly allowed them.

The Illinois Court of Claims Act establishes the framework for claims against the state, including personal injury cases. Under this act, there is a $2 million cap on cases against the state, except those involving state vehicles driven by state employees.

Where Do You File a Personal Injury Claim in Illinois? 

In Illinois, the venue for filing a personal injury claim depends on the circumstances of the case and the parties involved. Generally, you have two main options for where to file your lawsuit. The first option is to file in the circuit court of the county where the accident occurred. This can be advantageous if the incident happened in a specific location and there are local witnesses or evidence that may be easier to access. 

The second option is to file in the circuit court where the defendant (the person or organization you're suing) resides or does business. This can be particularly relevant if you're suing a company or if the defendant lives in a different county from where the accident took place.

FAQs

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What qualifies as a personal injury?

    A personal injury generally refers to any bodily injury sustained in an accident, from minor bruises to severe brain trauma. The most common personal injury claims arise from harm sustained from traffic wrecks, slip and fall accidents, defective products, dangerous property conditions, and medical malpractice.

  • What is the personal injury statute of limitations in Illinois?

    Under state law, the statute of limitations (or deadline) for most personal injury claims in Illinois is two years from the date of the accident. However, for claims against governmental agencies, there are special limitation periods that may be as short as a year. You should always consult with an attorney on what particular limitations period might apply to your claim. You should seek legal help immediately, as a delay may be fatal to your claim. Unless you have a special exception, your claim will be thrown out if you attempt to file after the limitations period has passed.


    Because every personal injury claim is different, it is difficult to determine an average settlement. A victim who lost a limb will likely need to receive more in medical expenses than someone who broke an arm, for instance. Although personal injury claims tend to average anywhere between $3000 to $75,000—an extremely broad range—there may be significant economic and noneconomic factors in your individual case that may indicate that your particular claim would be valued at a significantly higher figure at trial in front of a jury. An attorney can help you estimate your unique losses based on the facts of your case. The knowledge of an attorney experienced in jury verdict value is extremely important. You should be entitled to make up for your specific losses at the very least.
     

  • What evidence is needed for a personal injury claim?

    Necessary evidence can vary case by case depending on the specifics of your situation. However, one of the most helpful pieces of evidence is your medical records. If you can prove that you sought medical attention for a serious injury after an accident, you are more likely to receive compensation to cover the expenses associated with said injury. Other helpful evidence includes any photographs of the accident scene, accident reports, witness statements, insurance forms, receipts, and any other physical evidence related to the injury.
