Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere — whether you’re shopping, commuting, or enjoying some leisure time at a local museum or movie theatre, the risk of property owner negligence can mean that a serious accident can change your life in an instant. It’s estimated that in Illinois, almost 20% of workplace fatalities are attributable to slips, trips, and falls. When these accidents occur, you need to know how to get the compensation you deserve.
Property owners, including individuals, businesses, and public entities, are legally obligated to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition, free from potential hazards that might lead to slip and fall accidents. Residential landlords also bear a responsibility towards the safety of their tenants and visitors on their property. Should they fail in this duty, resulting in injuries, you and your attorney can hold them accountable for the harm you’ve suffered.
In Illinois, you typically have two years from the date of the slip and fall incident to initiate a lawsuit. Missing this critical deadline might jeopardize your ability to seek compensation for your losses. Furthermore, the circumstances of each case can vary significantly. You need a top-notch lawyer who understands the complexities of Illinois law and will work to determine the best course of action for your particular case.
The compensation you can obtain depends on the severity of your injuries, if and for how long your ability to work is compromised, and a variety of other factors. However, in general, accident victims can recover economic and non-economic damages, including:
When you enlist the help of an experienced slip and fall attorney, you can expect them to build a strong case on your behalf. They do this using a strong legal foundation and an approach that’s tailored to your particular claim.
Your attorney will begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your case. Their investigation is thorough and involves reviewing all the details surrounding the slip and fall incident, including the circumstances, your injuries, and how negligence contributed to the accident.
To establish negligence, your slip and fall lawyer will work to gather as much pertinent evidence as possible, including photographs of the accident scene, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and any relevant documents. They may also contact witnesses who observed the incident or the hazardous conditions leading to it to help corroborate your experiences.
Your attorney will represent your interests throughout the process, whether in negotiations with the responsible party's insurance company or in court if the responsible party or insurance company is unwilling to offer a fair settlement. They will ceaselessly advocate for your rights to secure the maximum compensation available for your injuries and damages.
By partnering with an experienced slip and fall attorney, you gain a dedicated legal ally who will work diligently to ensure that your case is thoroughly investigated, well-documented, and skillfully presented.
