Illinois premises liability law requires property owners and occupiers to exercise reasonable care in maintaining their property and to warn visitors of known dangers. The duty varies based on the visitor's status — invitees (customers, guests) receive the highest duty; licensees (social guests) receive a somewhat lower duty; trespassers generally receive minimal duty except in child trespasser cases involving the attractive nuisance doctrine. Our Chicago premises liability attorneys know exactly what duty applies in your situation and how to prove it was breached.
While slip and fall cases are the most common form of premises liability claim, property owner liability extends to a wide range of dangerous conditions — inadequate security leading to criminal assault, swimming pool drownings, dog attacks, falling objects, toxic substance exposure, and more. Any injury caused by an unsafe condition on someone else's property may give rise to a premises liability claim. Our attorneys evaluate every case thoroughly.
