From slip-and-fall accidents to animal attacks, there are a number of dangerous situations that, if not addressed properly by a property owner, can lead to serious or even fatal injuries for people visiting the property.
Owners of homes, grocery stores, parking lots, construction sites or any place imaginable are required by Illinois law to protect visitors on their property from dangerous, defective conditions.A breach of this duty of care can lead to accidents as well as a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
At Ryan, Ryan & Viglione, we have extensive experience handling a wide range of personal injury cases, including numerous premises liability cases. We know how to recognize hazardous conditions and prove liability. Our attorneys will make sure you’re taken care of throughout the entire legal process and that you get the outcome — and compensation — you deserve.
We Routinely Handle Slip And Falls And Other Accidents
Careless or negligent commercial and residential property owners can be found all over the Chicagoland area and have been responsible for:
- Construction site accidents, including crane, ladder and scaffolding accidents
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Accidents caused by damaged or nonexistent “handicap access points
“ - Trip-and-fall accidents on sidewalks or in stores
- Pool or drowning accidents
- Dog bites or other animal attacks
We have the experience and knowledge to discover applicable code and statutory violations that caused your injuries, hire appropriate experts to prove your case to a jury, and obtain the maximum possible recovery on your behalf.
We Understand The Full Extent Of Your Injuries
While some premises liability incidents result in minor injuries — including bruises, minor lacerations, sprains, fractures and other injuries — some slip-and-fall, trip-and-fall and construction accidents can result in more catastrophic injuries, including traumatic brain injuries.
Our lawyers understand the impacts these types of injuries can have on your life, including forcing you out of work or causing you to accumulate extensive medical bills, just to name a few. We know the true cost of a brain injury and other catastrophic injuries, which means we can identify when your settlement is a fair one and when it’s not.
