Slips, Trips & Falls

What You Need to Know About Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip or trip and fall cases fall under an area of law known as premises liability. This means that property owners, landlords, and business operators must keep their properties reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail to do so by ignoring hazardous conditions, failing to inspect, or failing to fix or guard hazardous conditions on their property, they can be held liable for the injuries that result.

One of the most common slip and fall situations involves slipping on an icy or wet sidewalk, parking lot, or store floor. Others involve tripping on uneven pavement, broken steps, or poorly lit walkways. Each case is unique, and proving liability often requires a detailed investigation, which can include determining if there were any municipal or building code violations on the property that caused the injuries. Because the law surrounding premises liability in Illinois can be complicated, it’s important to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible after your accident. That’s where Rundio Injury Law can help.
