Frequently asked questions

How many firms are listed in Des Plaines, Illinois?

No firms are listed in Des Plaines, Illinois yet. Claims over house fire injuries, like other burn and fire cases, are routinely litigated statewide rather than city by city, so a firm based elsewhere in Illinois can generally take a Des Plaines case.

How long do I have to file a house fire injuries lawsuit in Illinois?

The Illinois statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years (735 ILCS 5/13-202). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.
