Liability Overview
Liability Considerations in Chicago
Illinois has a 2-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice and tolls for minor children only until age 8 — not until majority. Cook County's plaintiff-sympathetic jury pool and experienced birth injury bar have produced the nation's largest birth injury verdicts. Levin & Perconti secured a $40 million record verdict; separate Cook County cases have produced $50 million and $14 million verdicts. Illinois does not cap medical malpractice damages.
