Lawyer For Cook County Injury Accidents Suffered On Another Person's Property
One of the most common types of premises liability claims happens when someone slips, trips or falls on the property of another party. Often, this occurs because the property owner has been negligent and has not made a reasonable effort to ensure the safety of the premises. If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, it is important to have a strong personal injury attorney in your corner fighting hard to secure the compensation you deserve.

Slip And Fall Accidents In Illinois
According to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI), slips and falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits in the U.S. These often occur because of premises hazards such as wet or oily floors, snowy or icy sidewalks, broken and uneven stairs, and poorly lit areas of the property.
- Neck, back and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Sprained or torn muscles and ligaments
- Dislocated shoulders
- Concussions
To determine if the owner is liable for your injuries, a number of factors are looked at, such as how dangerous the hazard was, the length of time the hazard was present, and if the owner was (or should have been) aware of the hazard. The status of the entrant is also examined. For example, if you slipped and fell while trespassing, you may not have much of a case. On the other hand, if you were invited and/or the property is publicly accessible, the owner has a much greater obligation to ensure the premises are safe.
