Slips and Falls Accidents in Illinois

Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can occur practically anywhere at any time. Common causes of these types of accidents include:

• Inadequate lighting;
• Uneven surfaces;
• Icy walkways;
• Unsafe stairways;
• Slippery spills on floors; and
• Obstructed paths.

Proving a slip and fall case centers around establishing that there was negligence involved. Property owners have a duty to maintain their property and protect visitors from harm. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for the resulting injuries. If a property owner knows of a potential hazard, he or she must either repair the hazard or suitably warn visitors of the hazard. If a property owner does not know of a hazard but reasonably should have known, liability remains.
