01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Illinois?
Illinois has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under 735 ILCS 5/13-202. The discovery rule applies to latent toxic exposure injuries. Illinois also has a strong product liability framework under the Illinois Product Liability Act. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
