Park Ridge, IL Premises Liability Attorney

Lawyer Assisting Clients in Property Accident Injury Cases in Niles, Rosemont and Glenview

You spend a great deal of your daily life outside of your home, and even though you are probably careful, sometimes the unexpected happens. If an accident occurs and you are injured while you are on someone else's property, who is responsible? That is the question addressed in cases of premises liability. If you are hurt as a result of dangerous conditions that resulted from a property owner's negligence, you may be able to seek compensation for damages that you received.

Premises Liability in Illinois

People who own or occupy property are responsible for the safety of any guests or visitors, and this is true not just for commercial businesses, but also residential homes. Property owners must maintain a safe environment for visitors, meaning that they should take steps to repair any dangerous conditions and notify visitors about any dangers that may exist.

Visitors typically fall into two categories: those lawfully on the premises, or trespassers. Different protections apply to each of these categories, but property owners are generally required to provide reasonable care that protects people lawfully on the premises from danger, while they will only be liable for damages to trespassers if injuries were willfully or maliciously inflicted.
