Arlington Heights Premises Liability Lawyers

Types of Accidents Covered by Premises Liability Law

Premises liability claims can address multiple types of injuries that occur when people are visiting property owned by someone else, including:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Multiple issues may affect the safety of visitors, including wet floors, sidewalks with unnatural accumulations of ice, loose carpeting, or poorly lit stairwells. Hazards may cause visitors to slip or trip, and fall injuries may include fractures, brain trauma, or spinal damage leading to paralysis.
• Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Property owners who allow dangerous dogs or other animals to roam freely may be held responsible when their animals bite or attack visitors. Dog bites can also occur in other locations, such as public parks, and the owner or the person who was in control of the animal may be responsible for injuries suffered by victims.
• Injuries at Stores or Restaurants: Spilled liquids, broken shelving, malfunctioning doors, or unsafe walking surfaces in commercial settings can endanger patrons.
• Swimming Pool Accidents: Drownings or slip-and-fall injuries can occur when pools lack the proper supervision or fencing or when proper maintenance has not been performed on a pool or its equipment.
• Amusement Park Injuries: Equipment malfunctions, inadequate safety protocols, or negligent supervision can result in serious harm to guests.
• School or Daycare Injuries: Children may be injured due to inadequate supervision, unsafe playground equipment, or hazards on school property or at a daycare center.
• Falling Objects: Inadequately secured items in warehouses, construction zones, or retail stores can strike and injure unsuspecting visitors.
• Negligent Security: Assaults or robberies may occur in parking lots, apartment complexes, or entertainment venues. Property owners may be held liable if they failed to take reasonable security measures to protect the safety of visitors.

How Our Attorneys Can Help Recover Compensation From Negligent Property Owners

Our premises liability lawyers can take decisive steps to protect the rights of injury victims and help them obtain the financial compensation they deserve. When addressing these issues, we can:

• Conduct Thorough Investigations: We may visit the property where an injury occurred, review security camera footage that captured the incident, interview witnesses, and document the hazardous conditions that caused the injury.
• Consult With Experts: We can work with engineers, safety specialists, and medical professionals to demonstrate the dangerous conditions on a property and show how the victim has been affected by their injuries.
• Identify All Liable Parties: We can help determine whether property owners, property managers, contractors, or maintenance companies may be held liable for failing to protect a person's safety.
• Calculate Damages: We will make sure medical costs, rehabilitation expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, long-term care needs, and other issues related to an injury will be fully addressed in the compensation a victim receives.
• Negotiate With Insurance Companies: Our lawyers will advocate for a settlement that covers all of a victim's damages, and if necessary, we can pursue litigation and fight to achieve justice for our client.
