Slip & Fall Injuries

When you think of a slip and fall accident, know that they’re not limited icy sidewalks in the winter. They’re also caused by uneven surfaces like potholes or dangerous walking paths with unsuitable conditions. As injury attorneys in Chicago, we know the most important aspect to consider in a slip and fall lawsuit is liability.

Proof is Key

If you have been injured in a slip or fall, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries including your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. In order to prevail in a slip and fall claim, you must prove that the property owner or their employee was negligent or caused the condition that caused you to fall.  For example, the owner or employee should’ve recognized the potential danger and removed it and it was reasonable to assume someone would fall as a response.

Who is Responsible?

It’s important to preserve any evidence that indicates why you slipped or fell.  Make sure to write down what happened shortly after it happened while it is fresh in your mind.  Take photos of the area where you fell and photos of your injuries as well as document what medical treatment you have received.  

If you or a loved one has recently been involved in a slip and fall accident, our injury attorneys in Chicago want to discuss your case. We can help determine the best course of action you need to take in order to receive justice. Contact the Law Office of Daniel Goodman today!
