Slip and Fall

If a visitor, customer, or tenant is injured due to a defective or dangerous condition on the premises, the owner of the property may be liable for those injuries. Property owners, business owners and landlords have a duty under Illinois law to maintain their property and to insure it is safe for those who visit the premises. Often times the dangerous conditions are obvious, like a slippery substance on the floor, or a hole in the ground, but sometimes the defects are not readily apparent, but may still lead to liability on the part of the owner.

  • Under Illinois law, violations of building codes or failure to comply with accepted standards can subject a building owner to liability. These codes are regularly relied upon in prosecuting cases involving falls on stairs, as often times stairways fail to comply with these building codes.
