Slip and fall claims are a type of personal injury case that often occurs when a business owner is negligent in maintaining their property.
When we can prove the property owner or manager’s negligence or recklessness led our clients to suffer a significant injury, they may be held legally responsible.
In Illinois, the law states that before we can seek compensation for our clients, we must prove one of two things occurred:
It is important to preserve any evidence you can from the scene after your injury occurs, including pictures or video of the hazardous conditions, and any witness accounts and/or contact information, so they may be contacted to give an official statement later, so we can prove whether the unsafe condition was permanent or temporary.
If it was the latter, the length of time the danger existed may impact the direction of your case.
Likewise, the state of Illinois has a modified comparative negligence rule, which states that if you were part of the problem—meaning negligently responsible in part for your slip and fall injuries—any damages awarded during your personal injury claim will be reduced according to the percentage of fault.
Simply put, if you were 20% at fault for the slip and fall that occurred, the property owner may only be held liable for 80% of the overall damages. In financial terms, that means if your medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering totaled $50,000, the property owner may only have to pay $40,000, which is the total minus the 20% that represents your share of fault.
If you were deemed more than 50% liable for the slip and fall accident occurs, you may not recover any damages at all.
