Three things Illinois drivers ask about most

Time matters early

Camera footage, witness memory, and vehicle damage all fade. Illinois also has filing deadlines that vary by who was involved, including shorter notice windows when a public entity is involved.

Where the crash happened counts

Crash reports are filed with the responding agency — Illinois State Police on the interstates, or the local police department on city and county roads.

Shared fault does not end a claim

Illinois uses modified comparative negligence. Being partly at fault does not automatically mean a claim is over. How that applies to you is a legal question for an attorney.

General information only, not legal advice. Deadlines and fault rules depend on your specific facts.
