Understanding Your Premises Liability Case in Illinois
Injuries resulting from slip and fall accidents, unsafe construction areas, or lax security typically fall under the umbrella of premises liability. If an individual gets hurt because a property owner failed to notice, fix, or warn others about hazardous conditions, they can be held accountable for resulting injuries.
Finding an experienced premises liability attorney immediately after an accident is important to building a strong premises liability case, as evidence fades quickly. Our lawyers can help gather important evidence to prove a property owner’s negligence and help you win fair compensation for your injuries.
Available Compensation in an Illinois Premises Liability Case
Those who sustain injuries from a slip and fall accident or negligent security incident can seek a variety of damages for impacts to their finances and quality of life. Economic damages, or those with a fixed monetary value, can include medical bills, lost income, and damage to personal property.
Non-economic damages are subjective harms to the victim’s well-being and mental health, such as emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment. If the victim dies from their injuries, their immediate family can also seek compensation for burial costs, lost financial support, and other losses through a wrongful death claim.
How to Prove a Premises Liability Case in Illinois
To establish a property owner’s liability for an injury, you must show they owed you a duty of care. Then, you must show that the owner breached that duty through negligence, directly causing your injuries. Once those elements are satisfied, you must demonstrate that you have suffered payable damages from that breach.
This process generally involves showing that you were lawfully on the property and that a condition on the property presented an unreasonable risk of harm. You must also prove that the defendant knew or should have known about the hazardous condition.
For example, a grocery store owes a duty of care to its customers. If the store failed to properly mark a wet floor and warn customers, someone who slips and falls on that floor can argue the store breached its duty of care and was directly responsible for their injuries.
