Rockford Rollover Accident
In some collisions, during some lane changes, and even by leaving a roadway in an emergency or due to inclement weather, a vehicle can roll over. Injuries involving rollover accidents can be quite severe, including bumps and bruises, more significant head, neck, and spinal injuries, and broken bones.
The extent of injuries is dependent on points of impact from an at-fault vehicle colliding with another vehicle, passengers being in close proximity to one another, or being improperly belted. Most large trucks and SUVs include rollover warnings due to such vehicles having higher centers of gravity than ordinary passenger cars.
Illinois Time Limits on Filing Suit
Illinois sets a time limit of two years to file a personal injury lawsuit in the state’s civil court system. In most cases, this two-year time limit, known as a “statute of limitations,” begins to run on the date of the accident. Sometimes, however, a statute of limitations might run from the date that you discovered you were injured, rather than the date of the event that injured you. This later date is known as a “discovery date.”
For injury claims against a city or county, you have one year to file a lawsuit. The time limit to sue the state is generally two years, but you must file a formal claim within one year in order to sue.
A qualified personal injury attorney can help guide you through this difficult time and alleviate some of the stress.
