Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers in DuPage County, IL

Elk Grove Village Premises Liability Attorneys Helping Injured Victims Seek Compensation

When you legally go onto or into someone else's property, the property owner takes on a level of responsibility for your safety. You have the right to expect that the property is free of hazards or dangers that could lead to a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident. According to federal estimates, such accidents send over 1 million men, women, and children to emergency rooms across the country in an average year. A large number of these victims, unfortunately, are injured badly enough that their injuries affect the rest of their lives.

At Kaiser Law in Bensenville, IL, our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys have been helping injured victims in Cook County and DuPage County for over 30 years. We understand how devastating a slip and fall or trip and fall can be and how serious the resulting injuries often are. Our lawyers are also aware of the challenges that can arise when seeking compensation in such cases. With over 100 years of combined experience, we are prepared to help you manage whatever obstacles you may encounter on the road to securing the damages you need to start putting your life back together.

Cook County Advocates for Slip and Fall Victims

A slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident can occur in many different ways, and many factors could contribute to the danger of the situation. At Kaiser Law, our lawyers have handled a wide variety of cases involving slips, trips, and falls, including those caused by:

• Wet floors and spilled liquids
• Uneven pavement, walkways, or floors
• Accumulation of ice or snow
• Inadequate lighting
• Missing or broken railings and other accessibility items
• Dangerous or defective staircases

In order to successfully secure compensation for your slip-and-fall injuries, we must show that negligence on the property owner's part led to you being hurt. In general, this means showing that the property owner was aware of a particular danger—such as a spill or uneven carpeting—but did not take reasonable steps to fix the problem or warn guests on the property.

Protecting Your Rights in Niles and Northlake

If you or someone you love has been injured in a trip-and-fall or slip-and-fall accident, it is crucial to contact a lawyer as quickly as possible in order to preserve potentially critical evidence. Our attorneys are ready to go to work on your behalf the moment you contact our firm. We will review all of the relevant details to determine how and why your accident occurred and what the property owner should have done to prevent it. At Kaiser Law, we also maintain a vast network of various experts, including scientists, engineers, financial professionals, and doctors whose input may be valuable in building the best possible premises liability case for compensation.

The lawyers at our firm realize that insurance companies may be quick to offer settlements in cases involving slip- or trip-and-fall injuries. At first glance, these settlement offers might seem quite generous, but our team will not be tricked, and you should not be either. In most cases, an insurer's first offer is usually an attempt to keep payouts low and reduce the company's financial exposure, and a first offer is often not enough to cover your long-term needs. Our attorneys will work diligently to ensure that the compensation you need to move forward with your life. We are also ready to litigate your case inside the courtroom at trial if doing so is necessary to protect your best interests.
