01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Illinois?
2-year statute of limitations for personal injury with discovery rule. BIPA claims for biometric data collection carry a separate 5-year SOL with statutory damages. Consumer Fraud Act claims have a 3-year SOL. 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.
