Injured on Someone Else’s Property?

Premises Liability

Helping Victims of Dangerous Conditions Across Chicago

Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe. If you have been hurt because someone failed to fix, maintain, or warn you about a hazardous condition — whether at a store, apartment building, or public place — you may have a premises liability case. We represent injury victims throughout Illinois. The consultation is free, and there’s no fee unless we win compensation for you.

Types of Premises Liability Cases We Handle

Slip and Falls

From wet floors to icy sidewalks, slip and fall injuries can lead to broken bones, concussions, and long-term pain. We will fight to prove liability and recover damages.

Trip and Falls

Uneven walkways, broken stairs, and poor lighting often lead to preventable accidents. We hold negligent property owners accountable.

Negligent Security

If you were assaulted or injured in a place that lacked proper lighting, locks, or security, you may have a claim. We can help investigate and build your case.

Structural Hazards

Falling ceilings, collapsing decks, or unsafe balconies often cause severe harm. We work with experts to prove building code violations and property neglect.

Accidents in Public or Retail Spaces

From grocery stores to parking lots, we represent victims injured in spaces open to the public where basic safety was ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions

Premises Liability FAQs

  • What qualifies as a premises liability case?

    If you were injured due to a hazardous condition on someone else’s property — and they failed to fix it or warn you — you may have a valid claim. Contact us to review your situation.

  • Do I need to prove the owner knew about the hazard?

    In most cases, yes. You must show the property owner knew or should have known about the danger. We help gather the evidence to prove that liability.

  • What damages can I recover?

    Compensation can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, future medical care or permanent disability.

  • How long do I have to file a claim?

    In Illinois, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file. It’s best to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your claim and evidence.

  • What if I was partially at fault?

    Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were less than 50% at fault, you may still recover compensation — though it may be reduced.
