On construction sites involving general contractors, subcontractors, equipment lessors, and manufacturers, third-party claims are common and often where full damages such as pain and suffering can be pursued. The gross lien equals compensation paid or payable, reduced by a statutory 25% attorney's fee and a pro rata share of litigation costs. In In re Estate of Dierkes, the Illinois Supreme Court held that a private contingency fee agreement cannot further reduce the employer's reimbursement beyond that statutory 25%. Careful sequencing and coordinated settlement of both claims protect your actual net recovery. A 820 ILCS 305/5(b) lien is the Illinois employer's statutory right to be repaid workers' compensation benefits from any money an injured worker recovers from a third party who caused the injury. Under Section 5(b) of the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act, an injured employee who has received workers' compensation must reimburse the employer from any recovery obtained from a liable third party. For a construction worker injured by a fall, work zone accident, or electrocution, this means two parallel claims: the comp claim against your employer and the negligence case against the outside party. Understanding the lien mechanics often determines the difference between a settlement figure that looks impressive and a net recovery that actually supports your family.... - [How Illinois’ 51% Fault Bar Under 735 ILCS 5/2-1116 Affects Crash Claims](https://trapplaw.com/2026/08/blog/how-illinois-51-fault-bar-under-735-ilcs-52-1116-affects-crash-claims/) - Why Your Share of the Blame Can Decide Your Illinois Crash Case Key Takeaways: Illinois uses modified comparative negligence under 735 ILCS 5/2-1116: injured persons more than 50% at fault recover nothing, while those at 50% or less have damages reduced proportionally. The statute applies to negligence and strict product liability actions involving injury, death, or property damage, with exceptions like childhood sexual abuse claims. Comparative fault is an affirmative defense the defendant must plead and prove, often by arguing speeding, distraction, improper lookout, or treatment gaps as failure to mitigate. Illinois bars using seat belt nonuse as negligence evidence or to reduce recovery. Fault percentages are decided by the trier of fact, not insurance adjusters or police opinions. Early evidence preservation, including event data recorder downloads, video footage, and medical documentation, often keeps a claimant's percentage low. Filing deadlines run alongside fault analysis, making timely legal guidance critical. If you were hurt in an Illinois car accident and the insurance company claims you caused part of the wreck, that accusation carries real financial weight. Illinois follows modified comparative negligence: if your fault exceeds 50%, you generally recover nothing; if you are 50% or less at fault, your damages are reduced by your percentage of responsibility. That single rule, codified at 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, is often the battleground where crash claims are won or lost. If fault is being disputed in your case, the team at Trapp & Geller can help you understand where you stand.
