Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Chicago. Icy and uncleared sidewalks across Englewood, Auburn Gresham, and Chicago Lawn during brutal Chicago winters, poorly maintained commercial properties throughout the South and West Sides, and neglected rental properties and public housing across Cook County create dangerous conditions year-round. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail, people get hurt. Insurance companies for property owners often use delay, denial, and victim-blame tactics to minimize these claims. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From icy stoops and uncleared sidewalks on South Western Avenue and 63rd Street to poorly maintained commercial properties throughout Gage Park and Back of the Yards to neglected apartment buildings across Roseland and Pullman — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Chicago and who is responsible for them. Stroger Hospital and the University of Chicago Medical Center treat serious fall injuries from our communities regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Chicago families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Cook County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics — and try to argue the dangerous condition was obvious or that it was your fault. Chicago Housing Authority and city property falls require a notice within 1 year under the Illinois Tort Immunity Act. We know how to leverage the justice system in Cook County Circuit Court to fight back and prove otherwise.
IMPORTANT ILLINOIS LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date of injury.
Government Property (Critical): Lawsuit for falls on City of Chicago property, Chicago Housing Authority buildings, CTA stations, or other public entity property mus tbe filed within 1 year or your case may be permanently barred.
Snow and Ice: Property owners generally have no legal duty to remove natural accumulations of snow or ice.
Property Owner Liability: Owner must have created the condition, known about it, or should have known with reasonable care.
Comparative Fault: Modified comparative fault. Recover if 50% or less at fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies for property owners may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their slip and fall case is actually worth. They may use delay, deny, and lowball tactics and try to shift blame onto the injured person. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery — and move immediately on government property cases to protect the 1-year notice deadline.
