I think it's date of the event; the action is in the Claims Court of Illinois and they are pretty strict in waiving sovereign immunity. In this case, it was a slip and fall, so date of event and date of discovery were the same.
I'm filing this for my daughter, who is going
pro se with some help from me. She can't find a litigator to take it because the damages are light and the fee is limited by statute to 20%.
The Clerk told me that as long as it is date-stamped by the date of the event, it's within the limitations period.
