Illinois comparative fault — and why it matters locally
Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule: your compensation is reduced by your share of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault you recover nothing. Insurers routinely try to shift blame onto Berwyn victims to cut what they pay. We investigate and push back hard to protect your recovery.
