Chicago Slip and Fall Injury

Each year, thousands of people are injured because of the negligence of property owners. Some of these injuries can be severe, such as a skull fracture or spinal injury. Other injuries, while not severe, prohibit the victim from working for weeks at a time, such as the construction worker who breaks his arm while shopping.

Premises liability law covers the slips, trips, and falls from dangerous conditions on private or public property, including residential, commercial, and public or government property. The owner can be held liable for resulting medical bills, lost wages, and more.

Over his 35-year career, Senior Partner Loren B. Siegel has handled many slip and fall cases, including  a recent settlement of $356,000 for a fall down an outside staircase.

Mr. Siegel has expert knowledge of the various and intricate laws that must be navigated to recover damages for victims of various negligent property conditions, including such common culprits as:

• Flooring: from poorly marked wet spots and unevenly waxed surfaces to torn or bulging carpet
• Escalators: improperly maintained escalators can result in serious injuries, including loss of limbs and crushed bones
• Stairways: poorly maintained stairways and handrailings can be responsible for serious falls that result in paralysis or even death
• Icy Sidewalks and Walkways
