How long do I have to take legal action against the driver who hit me?
Illinois law provides a two-year statute of limitations for injured accident victims to file a lawsuit against someone who causes them harm, but the law does allow for some exceptions. If you bring a suit beyond the two-year time-limit, it is highly unlikely a court will hear your case. Further, there are shorter one-year deadlines for certain defendants.
