Illinois law operates under the principle of the "eggshell plaintiff theory," where the plaintiff is accepted as they are, inclusive of any pre-existing conditions. This means that if an individual had a medical issue before an accident and their symptoms or injury were worsened by the crash, they are still entitled to seek recovery for those exacerbated damages under Illinois law.
