We disagree. In White v. Touche Ross Co. (1987), 163 Ill. App.3d 94, 516 N.E.2d 509, the court held the relevant date to determine whether to apply the Contribution Act was the date of injury, rather than the date the cause of action accrued. ( White, 163 Ill. App.3d at 101, 516 N.E.2d at 513-14.)
¶ 27 As courts have recognized, the Restatement (Second) of Torts broadly defines an injury "as an invasion of a person's interest, even if there is no immediate harm or that harm is speculative." White v. Touche Ross & Co. , 163 Ill. App. 3d 94, 101, 114 Ill.Dec. 354, 516 N.E.2d 509 (1987) (citing Restatement (Second) of Torts § 7, Comment a (1965)). Accepting plaintiffs' allegations as true, the City's negligent conduct in replacing water mains and water meters servicing plaintiffs' homes caused a high level of a dangerous contaminant, lead, to leach into their water.
