Personal injury law in Illinois
Personal injury laws in Illinois protect any individual harmed by the negligent acts of others, regardless of whether those actions were intentional. When a person or a legal entity, such as a business or a corporation, is found to be legally responsible for an injury incurred by someone, they are liable for that injury and may be ordered to pay the injured person damages to compensate them for their pain and suffering.

A person is found to be negligent and liable for a personal injury in Illinois when failing to act like an ordinary, reasonable person in a way that leads to an accident and injury. The critical issue is often to prove, according to Illinois personal injury laws, how a reasonable person would have acted in this particular situation.

For example, it might be considered ordinary and reasonable to drive down a highway at the posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour. However, if the weather is bad, or visibility is poor, a court might consider it reasonable for someone to reduce speed. These are the types of debates that personal injury attorneys in Illinois make every day in an effort to prove or disprove the negligence of a particular party.
