Mass casualty events occur when injuries exceed local emergency resources, often caused by disasters like accidents, severe weather, or public violence.

If you or a loved one has been affected by an event like this, the responsibility could fall on drivers, government agencies, property owners, manufacturers, and others.

You and your family may be able to recover costs for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or even death benefits.

Depending on the circumstances of the event, victims and their families may be able to seek compensation under several Illinois laws.

These can include the Premises Liability Act for injuries from unsafe property conditions, the Wrongful Death Act for loss of life, or the Product Liability statute when faulty products are to blame.

Other laws, like the Tort Immunity Act and the Metropolitan Transit Authority Act, have special rules when government agencies or public transit is involved.

If alcohol was a factor, the Dram Shop Act might also apply.

Deadlines are strict and differ by claim type.
For private defendants, Illinois law allows two years to file most personal injury and wrongful death claims. Claims against public entities often have shorter deadlines, so it's important to act quickly.

With so many aspects involved, managing your lawsuit can be difficult.
