Illinois law allows for some latitude in the statute of limitations on personal injury actions through what is commonly known as the "discovery rule." The discovery rule allows the statute of limitations to be extended from the time of the injury to the time of the discovery of the injury.
Persons or entities so named as respondents in discovery shall be required to respond to discovery by the plaintiff in the same manner as are defendants and may, on motion of the plaintiff, be added as defendants if the evidence discloses the existence of probable cause for such action.
