Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.
(735 ILCS 5/13-203) (from Ch. 110, par. 13-203)
Sec. 13-203.
Loss of consortium - Injury to person.
Actions for damages
for loss of consortium or other
actions, including actions for the medical expenses of minors or persons
under legal disability, deriving from injury to the person of another, except
damages
resulting from first degree murder or the commission of a Class X
felony, shall be commenced
within the same period of time as actions for damages for injury to such
other person.
Where the time in which the cause of action of the injured person whose
injuries give rise to the cause of action brought under this Section is
tolled or otherwise extended by any other Section of this Act, including
Sections 13-211, 13-212 and 13-215, the time in which the cause of action
must be brought under this Section is also tolled or extended to coincide
with the period of time in which the injured person must commence his or
her cause of action.
