Time is Running Out To File Your Claim

Construction accident victims are 33% more likely to miss out on rightful compensation when they delay taking legal action. That’s because strict time limits apply in Illinois: This legal deadline—called the statute of limitations—applies to cases involving injuries caused by another party’s negligence. If you miss this window, you may lose your right to pursue compensation entirely.

  • Workers’ Compensation – Report your injury to your employer within 45 days, and file your claim with the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission (IWCC) within 3 years.
  • Personal Injury (Third-Party Liability) – If someone other than your employer caused the accident, you have just 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit.

Failing to act in time can permanently bar you from seeking compensation—no matter how serious your injuries are. The sooner you contact Therman Law Offices, the stronger your case will be.
