If you're lucky, Illustrator has a recovery file. But that happens only if you're lucky.

When Illustrator is relaunched and asks youtorecover, you have todo that immediately otherwise the file gets deleted.

Apart from that: save your files. Just do it.

If you can't remember to save, then maybe install the plugin Autosaviour Free.
