Suffering From A Painful Premises Liability Injury?
Illinois law holds property owners responsible for protecting the safety of visitors to their business or residence. This responsibility begins with the facilities' safe design and construction and extends to property cleanup, general maintenance, and adequate lighting and security.
You May Have Grounds For A Premise Liability
Property Owner Negligence
One classic premise liability case is the slip and fall, where someone slips or trips on something the owner knew about and failed to correct, such as a cooking oil spill, a freshly mopped floor, debris in an aisle, chipped tiles, or staircases with inadequate lighting.
Another common source of premises liability claims involves a lack of adequate security and supervision. When the property's owner fails to protect visitors from assault, theft, or violence, he or she may be held legally liable if someone is physically harmed or assaulted on the property.
This also includes monitoring children around pools, playground equipment, and daycare facilities.
Insurance Industry Experience
We use our prior experience in the insurance industry to apply creative and practical strategies to help our clients prove their case for winning full and fair settlements and jury awards when a trial is necessary.
Workplace Premises Liability Injuries
State premises liability laws also cover workers in Illinois. Employers and property owners have a legal responsibility to make sure their business property or construction site is maintained safely.
Suppose you were injured on the job because of a defective or dangerous building. In that case, we can also help you with your Illinois workers' compensation claim while seeking additional damages from the liable property owner.
