Have You Been Injured in a Slip-And-Fall Accident?
Owners of supermarkets, apartment buildings, condominiums, malls, retail stores, parking lots, restaurants, hotels and other buildings are aggressive in defending against slip-and-fall accident claims. If you have been injured in such an accident, the property owner may deny liability or even claim the accident was your fault. The property owner may try and quickly repair the dangerous condition, so it’s important to call Trapp & Geller immediately so we can begin to investigate. We have highly trained experts and investigators who take pictures and perform inspections of the premises to determine who is at fault.
Our Chicago slip and fall accident lawyers know how to counter such claims. We conduct thorough investigations of slip-and-fall accidents to find the facts and identify liable parties. Our investigations often uncover evidence of a property owner or manager failing to prevent or fix hazards such as:
- Produce or other slippery items on a floor
- Broken stairs and stairwells
- Ice and snow on walkways
- Cracks or potholes in walkways
- Tears and defects in carpets
- Inadequate railings
- Inadequate lighting
- Obstacles left in walkways
