How Illinois Law Affects Your Case, and Your Funding

Two features of Illinois law shape every personal injury case here, and both directly affect how much pre-settlement funding your case can support.

Fault rule: Modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, you can recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault; your award is reduced by your share of responsibility.

The filing clock matters just as much: most Illinois personal injury claims must be filed within 2 years of the injury. And if a government entity is involved, a city vehicle, public property, a state agency, formal notice deadlines are typically far shorter than the general statute of limitations. Confirming those dates should be one of the first conversations you have with your attorney.

For funding purposes, the practical takeaway: in Illinois, recovery is barred above 50% fault, so liability evidence directly drives both case value and funding.
