In Illinois, the statute of limitations, or time limit, to file a claim for personal injury damages arising from a trucking accident is two years from the date the crash takes place. So, if a suit is not filed within the two-year period, any claims for damages from the truck accident would be lost. There are limited circumstances that the statute of limitations will be extended. If you are under the age of 18 or mentally incompetent at the time of the crash, and your parent or legal guardian did not file a suit, then the statute of limitations may be extended. NST Law is a large national injury firm with offices in Belleville, Illinois. We have significant experience and the resources to obtain maximum compensation against trucking companies. We’re familiar with trucking regulations and with obtaining the time logs of the truck driver, which often show that the truck driver was working too many hours, causing driver fatigue. We can also hire experts to obtain the truck driver’s black box, which can show the driver’s speed at the time of the accident. In addition, we are able to hire vocational experts and economists to develop your trucking accident case. Please call 1-800-529-4004, and NST Law will be glad to help.
