When must an Illinois derivative loss-of-consortium claim be filed?

Identify the person injured, the underlying injury claim and its governing limitation provision.

Establish whether the claim derives from that injury, including the stated minor or disability-related medical-expense category.

Record all applicable Code tolling or extension provisions and the underlying claim’s actual filing boundary.

1. Identify the person injured, the underlying injury claim and its governing limitation provision.
2. Establish whether the claim derives from that injury, including the stated minor or disability-related medical-expense category.
3. Record all applicable Code tolling or extension provisions and the underlying claim’s actual filing boundary.
4. The section ties the derivative period to the injured person’s period. When another Code section tolls or extends that period, including Sections 13-211, 13-212 or 13-215, the derivative period coincides. Select the underlying provision before applying any calendar calculation.
5. Commence the proper derivative action and preserve the underlying claim classification, accrual evidence and any aligned statutory tolling.

No computed date is published. Establish the applicable statutory periods and then check their governing counting and closed-day provisions separately.

Fictitious comparison. One derivative claim follows an ordinary injury action. Another follows a patient-care action with a different applicable statutory qualification. The derivative label alone supplies neither filing boundary.

The underlying injury action and its aligned tolling supply this derivative period. One generic two-year preset cannot select them.

Medical-expense claims are expressly included

The text includes actions for medical expenses of minors or persons under legal disability when they derive from injury to another.

Covered criminal injuries are excepted

The ordinary alignment sentence excepts damages from first degree murder or a Class X felony. Section 13-214.1 supplies a separate criminal-injury provision.

Loss of support requires its own classification

The stable URL includes support wording. Section 13-203.1 separately addresses a minor’s loss of means of support from the specified criminal injury. Do not assign every support claim this consortium provision.

Rule 9 ordinarily requires civil electronic filing, subject to its exceptions and exemptions. Rule 9(f) ordinarily requires submission before midnight in the court time zone unless a statute, rule or actual order specifies a different time. A submission on a closed clerk day ordinarily receives the next open-day stamp. Preserve the actual electronic file mark, receipt and any filing-relief order. Filing and service are distinct acts.
