Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long do I have to file a brain injury lawsuit in Illinois?
Most brain injury claims must be filed within 2 years from the date of the incident. Early filing improves evidence preservation.
What if the TBI happened at a school or public facility?
Claims involving public institutions like schools may fall under government tort immunity rules, which often shorten the filing deadline. We can help navigate those timelines.
Are sports-related concussions legally actionable?
Yes—especially if caused by negligence, lack of supervision, or improper medical response. Schools and leagues may be held liable.
Can I file a claim if symptoms appeared weeks later?
Yes. Delayed onset of symptoms is common in TBIs. Medical documentation is key to linking the injury to the original event.
What types of experts do you work with in TBI cases?
We collaborate with neurologists, neuropsychologists, vocational rehab specialists, and lifecare planners to present a full picture of your damages.
