Premises Liability Lawyers Serving Injured People throughout Illinois

If you fell and seriously injured yourself on property that was in dangerous condition or poorly maintained, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Many situations could lead to premises liability cases, also known as "slip and fall" and "trip and fall" cases:

  • Cracked sidewalks at apartment complexes
  • Damaged concrete on a public sidewalk
  • Wet floors at a grocery store or other retail store
  • Slippery stairs leading up/down to the "L" and to Metra stations
  • Slippery platforms for getting on/off CTA trains and buses
  • Shopping malls and apartment complexes that are poorly lit or not properly maintained
  • Stairways lacking proper handrails
  • Sidewalks that are not shoveled in a timely manner

Generally in a slip and fall case, there is a defect that causes you to injure yourself or there has been failure to maintain a public place in order to keep it reasonably safe.

There are many steps in the legal recovery process for slip and fall and similar premises liability cases. The first step is to determine whether the property owner was aware of the dangerous condition and failed to correct it. The second is to determine who is at fault; sometimes an accident is simply that - an accident. Cases also differ according to what kind of property is involved: government, commercial, or residential.
