Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
Nothing! Postman Law works on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. We only charge a fee if we win your case or secure a settlement for you. The fee is typically a percentage of the total compensation you receive.
In most cases, Illinois has a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the injury. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to pursue compensation, which is why it’s important to contact a personal injury attorney at Postman Law so that your rights are protected and your documents are submitted by the deadline.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, and future medical care. In some cases, punitive damages may apply.
Illinois follows a modified comparative fault system. If you are found to be 50% or less at fault, you may still be able to recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Illinois does not cap damages in most personal injury cases, but claims involving government entities may be subject to special limitations or restrictions.
Claims against government entities often have shorter notice deadlines and special procedures. Acting quickly is really important in these cases, which is why consulting with an Illinois personal injury will be important so your rights are protected and all documents are filed by deadlines.
Most personal injury cases in Illinois settle out of court.
An experienced Illinois personal injury attorney will help gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and work to get you the maximum compensation you deserve. Postman Law offers free case consultations.
