Are You Suffering
From a Fall Injury?
A slip and fall accident can cause injuries in the arms, legs, back, and head, depending on the surface and how you fell. Under the law, the property or business owner is responsible for keeping their property reasonably safe for other people. Homeowners are also responsible for the safety of their guests. This duty of safety is known as premises liability.
In a fall case, the attorney must prove the client’s injury was a direct result of the responsible party’s failure to address hazards or properly notify people of potential dangers. Proving negligence in a personal injury case can be difficult. Having our personal injury lawyers represent your Chicago slip and fall case can help you obtain compensation that can help with medical bills, loss of income, and more.

Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
When reviewing your case, our attorneys will investigate if there were dangerous conditions on the property where you sustained your injury. If one of these conditions was involved in your injury, it may be an indication that you have a slip and fall claim:
Slippery or Uneven Floor
Grease, water, and other liquids not cleaned off the floor create a safety hazard, as does ice. If floors or walkways are slippery, the property owner is failing their duty to provide a safe environment. Loose or uneven flooring can also cause people to slip and fall.
No Warning
If a walkway or area of a building is unsafe, the property owner has a duty to warn others about the danger. Inadequate warnings about potential dangers can be considered negligence on the part of the owner.
Obstructions
Exposed wires, cables, and cords lying on the floor can easily cause someone to trip and fall. Other obstructions like parking lot curbs and low walls can also be hazardous.
Inadequate Lighing
Ideally, every room inside a home or business has a light in it. Lack of proper lighting around pathways, stairways, and ledges can increase the risk of fall injuries.
Why Hire Injury Lawyers for a Slip and Fall Accident?
We Can Prove Negligence
In order to have a slip and fall case, the plaintiff must prove negligence on the part of the property owner. Our lawyers can gather eyewitness testimony, photos, and any surveillance video of the property where you sustained an injury. We can also see if the owner or business has any previous violations for not maintaining the property or for failing to meet safety standards.
Take On Insurance
If you’re contacted by a claims adjuster or another attorney, do not speak to them. Insurance companies are out to protect their own interests, not yours. Even if the property owner offers a settlement or to pay your medical bills, let our attorneys speak on your behalf. They may be short changing you on what your final compensation could be if you had legal help. Or they may use your words against you and argue that you deserve no compensation.
