How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Illinois?

In Illinois, the statute of limitations for many personal injury claims, including motorcycle accidents, is generally two years from the date of the crash. For wrongful death claims, the filing window is typically two years from the date of death. Waiting too long to take legal action may end in losing your right to pursue compensation in court. Starting early allows your lawyer to gather time-sensitive evidence, such as scene photos, witness statements, medical records, and any available video footage, and build a stronger claim on your behalf.
