Snowmobile Accident

NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN

Snowmobile Accident

Our area has a network of snowmobile trails spanning over 100 miles within a close drive of the Rockford metro area. While riders generally wear safety gear and helmets, a large number of the local trails intersect with public roadways, and there have been fatal accidents involving snowmobiles in our area over the last decade around these intersections of recreational vehicle/snowmobile paths and public roadways.

Accidents involving a passenger vehicles and snowmobiles could include the following injuries:

  • Fractured bones
  • Head injuries
  • Paralysis
  • Death

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.
