Orland Park Roads and Injury Patterns

Orland Park is a regional shopping destination with heavy commuter traffic. Injury claims we see here often involve:

• Rear-end and turning crashes on LaGrange Road (US-45), especially near Orland Square and the 143rd and 159th Street intersections.
• Crashes on I-80 and the I-80 and LaGrange Road interchange.
• Intersection crashes on 151st Street, 159th Street (US-6), and Harlem Avenue.
• Pedestrian injuries near Metra stations and parking lots at large retail centers.
• Slip and fall injuries at stores, restaurants, and medical offices.

Which Court Hears an Orland Park Injury Case?

Orland Park, Tinley Park, and Oak Lawn are listed among the communities served by the Fifth Municipal District of the Circuit Court of Cook County, at the Bridgeview Courthouse, 10220 S. 76th Avenue. For Orland Park and Tinley Park, that district covers only the parts of each village inside Cook County.

The suburban district courthouses hear civil suits for damages up to $100,000. Injury cases seeking more than that are generally filed in the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, so a serious injury case from the southwest suburbs may be heard downtown rather than in Bridgeview.

Small parts of Orland Park extend beyond Cook County. A crash in one of those areas may belong in that county’s circuit court, so we confirm the location first.

Long-Term Care and CILA Injuries in Orland Park

Families in Orland Park sometimes contact us when a parent, grandparent, or adult child with a disability is hurt in a care setting. In Illinois, nursing homes and assisted living establishments are licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and Community Integrated Living Arrangements (CILAs) for adults with developmental disabilities are overseen by the Illinois Department of Human Services. The IDHS Division of Developmental Disabilities publishes OIG abuse, neglect, and exploitation information by CILA provider, showing allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation reported to and accepted for investigation by the IDHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG), and the results of those investigations. Claims in these settings often turn on staffing, supervision, medication records, and incident reports.

Sexual Abuse and Assault Claims in Orland Park

Families in the southwest suburbs sometimes contact us about abuse involving schools, youth sports, churches, or medical settings. We talk privately, and the survivor decides how to proceed.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. Civil claims are separate from criminal cases, and speaking with us is confidential.

Illinois Deadlines and Fault Rules for Orland Park Injury Claims

• Two-year deadline for most injury claims. Under 735 ILCS 5/13-202, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within 2 years after the cause of action accrues.
• Shared fault. Under 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, an injured person is barred only if their fault is more than 50 percent of the cause of the injury. Otherwise, damages are reduced by their percentage of fault.
• Local public entities. Under 745 ILCS 10/8-101(a), most civil actions against a local public entity or its employees must be filed within 1 year after the injury. Claims arising from patient care follow a separate rule.
• Childhood sexual abuse. Under 735 ILCS 5/13-202.2(f), a civil action based on childhood sexual abuse may be filed at any time, unless the claim was already time-barred before the 2014 amendment to that section took effect.
• Wrongful death. Under 740 ILCS 180/2, a wrongful death action is generally filed within 2 years after the death, with exceptions written into the statute.
• Medical negligence. Under 735 ILCS 5/13-212(a), a claim generally must be filed within 2 years after the injury was or should have been discovered, and no more than 4 years after the act or omission, subject to exceptions.

Claims against the Village of Orland Park, a park district, or another local public entity generally have a one-year limit under 745 ILCS 10/8-101(a).

These are general rules. Exceptions can shorten or extend a deadline, so ask a lawyer to confirm the deadline for your situation.
