DuPage County Sidewalk Injury Lawyer
The challenge of walking safely on ice and through snow is an unavoidable fact of life every Illinois winter. Not every injury-causing fall justifies legal action against the property owner — but some do. If you believe your serious fall was caused by unreasonable negligence, it is essential to contact an experienced premises liability lawyer who can accurately evaluate your potential claim.
At the Law Offices of Mathys & Schneid, we have successfully obtained sizable compensation for many slip-and-fall victims in the Chicago metro and western suburbs. Our attorneys know the relevant laws in-depth, and when we take on a case, we do so with every intent to win for our valued client.
Experienced, Informed Evaluation of Your Potential Claim
Essential components of your claim for financial compensation will typically include proving that your injuries are serious and that the property owner failed to exercise reasonable care to protect people lawfully on his or her property. Solid cases involving falls on ice and snow usually hinge on showing an "unnatural accumulation" and known dangerous condition caused by:
- An area on a sidewalk or in a parking lot that does not drain, creating puddles and ice-covered areas
- Improperly placed downspouts or gutters that direct water runoff to an area in front of a doorway, onto a sidewalk, or onto an outdoor stairway, for example
- Slippery conditions inside a store or other commercial establishment — with no warnings posted or reasonable effort to perform cleanup and keep patrons safe
Trial Attorneys You Can Trust to Build the Best Possible Case for You
Fast action is often vital to the success of a legitimate premises liability claim or lawsuit. Given the opportunity, we will move quickly to examine the scene of your slip-and-fall accident before the dangerous condition has been addressed. Photographic evidence and witness accounts can be invaluable, and we are adept at presenting this evidence in a compelling fashion in negotiations, mediation or the courtroom.
