Lawsuits - Statue of Limitations in Illinois

[Guest guest]

I got this from a trial attorney in Chicago...

" The statute of limitations in Illinois for a case involving an

alleged product defect provides that the lawsuit be filed within two

years from the date you should have known of the defect. However, in

the case of a minor, this two year period is tolled until his 18

birthday. Thus, a cause of action must be brought before his 20th

birthday. Whether other factors exist which may shorten or extend the

applicable statute of limitations is unknown. "
