Vehicle & Road Accidents

Crashes on Illinois roads — car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian — share one thing: insurance carriers move fast to limit what they pay. Marker Law moves faster.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to the questions Marker Law clients ask most often about this topic.

Two years from the date of the crash for personal injury, two years from date of death for wrongful death. Claims against governmental defendants can be much shorter. Call right away so evidence is preserved.
Rarely. Most Illinois drivers carry minimum coverage and many catastrophic crashes exceed it. Marker Law also pursues UM/UIM under your own policy and third-party liability where it exists.
Illinois uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you are 50% or less responsible, you can still recover — your award is just reduced by your share of fault.
No. Insurers ask for recorded statements to lock you into a story before the medical picture is clear. Politely decline and talk to Marker Law first — the consultation is free.
Your own policy's UM/UIM coverage should respond. We have built dozens of cases against UM/UIM carriers and know how to push them for full value.
