Legal Question in Personal Injury in Illinois

Re: Statute of limitations on personal injury claim

Dear Sirs:

Normally the statute of limitations is two (2) years from the date of injury and three (3) years for a workmen's compensation claim.

There are exception to each rule, however, and should you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to call.

Many thanks.

Her options will depend on many unanswered questions,e.g., the age of the son, the employer, the particular facts of how this happpened. I would be glad to talk to you about this in detail.

When did the accident happen?

How old is the child?

Please consider contacting

our office for a free no

obligation consultation.

Re: Statute of limitations on personal injury claim

You do not give enough information as to when this event take place. I also need to know how old is the child. I also need to know what was she doing before the injury and a lot more information about where was the kettle, how big, how dip, any signs, what was it used for, why the child was near the kettle etc... etc...

There is a lot to sift through here. I suggest you contact my office and make an appointment with Angela, my assistant and come and see me and bring all the paperwork. I will then be in a lot better position to give you an intelligent answer.

I hope this helps,

What a horrible experience!! I can not imagine the pain and agony that he has gone through! Burns are so painful! The good news is with few exceptions, the statute of limitations in Illinois for children begins to run when the child reaches age 18.

I need to know more facts about the tragedy before I can render an opinion on options. I have cases throughout Indiana and Illinois and would be willing to meet your coworker, his family and child at their place of residence if that is convenient.

I hope that this information may bring them some hope.

Re: Statute of limitations on personal injury claim

You do not say when the accident happened, nor how old the child was/is, so it is impossible to accurately answer the question.

If the child is now not 20 then the odds are that the claim is still alive but you would need to provide more fact-specific details, in order to be sure.

You should have your co-worker call or email an attorney wihtout delay.

I had a very similar case involving a coffee urn that overturned when a child was running and tripped over the cord pulling the coffee over on top of him requiring extensive skin graft surgeries.

Re: Statute of limitations on personal injury claim

The statute of limitations is two years from the time that the minor turns 18. We settled a burn case in 2003 for $3.5 million - our client was burned over 60% of his body, and it was a record settlement in Cook County for a burn victim over the age of 50 years old. You should immediately contact us at [email protected] to discuss.

Re: Statute of limitations on personal injury claim

Contact an attorney immediately. Typically you will have 2 years after the minor's 18th birthday to file suit. The statute of limitations may be less in some instances. Don't wait any longer.
