The “Statute of Limitations” (SOL) is a law that sets a strict time limit on when a legal claim or action may be commenced. After the SOL has expired, the legal action (lawsuit) is forever barred. In the state of Illinois the SOL for most types of personal injury cases, including motorcycle accidents, is two years from the date of the accident. However, in the case of a minor (under 18 years of age) victim the SOL does not expire until the victim’s 20th birthday.

Even if the SOL will not expire for a long time, you should immediately consult with an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to make sure they have adequate time to prepare for your case. DO NOT WAIT TO CONSULT WITH OR HIRE AN ATTORNEY. In many cases, a motorcycle accident lawyer who is hired early in the litigation process can help you avoid costly mistakes that may harm your case. Contact attorney Robert Edens to protect and maximize the value of your claim and increase the odds of a favorable outcome.
