Chicago Premises Liability Attorney

Seek Justice for Premises Liability Injuries in Chicago

Property owners owe a certain duty of care to those who are on their property. While this definitely extends to commercial property owners, it also applies to private property owners. Owners are obliged to let others know if there is a potential danger or risk on the property, to fix or maintain the potentially dangerous risk, and/or to reasonably prevent those risks from occurring.

In many cases, a thorough investigation is required in order to prove that the unsafe environment was directly related to your injuries and that the property owner is responsible for them.

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Premises liability is when injuries are caused by a hazardous condition or activity on the premises of someone else. With the help of our attorneys, you can discover whether you are eligible for compensation through a Personal Injury claim and who you may be able to hold liable for your injuries.

Premises liability claims can result from the following:

• Slip and falls
• Assault from lack of security
• Hazardous activity on a construction site
• Improper maintenance
• Improper supervision
• Improper repairs
• Failure to post adequate warnings

It is crucial in these types of cases that the negligence on the part of the person or entity that owns the property had notice of the dangerous or hazardous condition. Potential defendants may include landowners, hospitals, businesses, cities, municipalities, department stores, grocery stores, bars, nightclubs, security companies, and public agencies.

Injuries Commonly Sustained in Unsafe Chicago Properties

An accident on another’s property can lead to a number of injuries, including serious bruising and internal damage; lacerations leading to permanent scarring; broken bones or crushed limbs; head, neck, and spine injuries leading to paralysis; drownings; and more.

These injures often require expensive medical and rehabilitative care and mental and physical therapy to recover from lasting damage. A victim may also need to seek reconstructive surgeries or assistive devices, such as a wheelchair or additions to the home, to help them live their lives as close to how they once did.

Illinois Premises Liability Claim Filing Deadline

According to the state’s statute of limitations, a premises liability lawsuit needs to be filed within two years from the time the accident occurred. If it is not filed within this time period, you will be barred from seeking compensation in the future.

While two years may seem like a long time, the more time you give your attorney, the stronger your claim will be. This is why it is important that you call our firm as soon as possible so we can begin investigating your accident, acquiring all evidence and documentation, and building a strong claim based on your specific circumstances.
