Frequently Asked Questions About Premises Liability in Illinois

What is a premises liability attorney?

A premises liability attorney is a legal professional who specializes in cases where an individual has been injured on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions or negligence. This can include slip and fall accidents, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, or inadequate security incidents.

When should I contact a premises liability attorney in Illinois?

You should contact a premises liability lawyer in Illinois if you've been injured on another person's property and believe that the injury was due to the property owner's negligence in maintaining safe conditions.

How can a premises liability attorney in Illinois help me?

A premises liability law firm in Illinois can help you by investigating your claim, gathering evidence, proving the property owner's negligence, negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf, and representing you in court, if necessary.

What are the typical fees for a premises liability attorney?

Most premises liability attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your case. The fee is typically a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually between 25% and 40%.

What factors influence the outcome of a premises liability case?

Factors that can influence the outcome of a premises liability case include the severity of your injuries, the extent of the property owner's negligence, whether the injured party had any fault in the accident, and the ability to prove all these factors in court.

What are common defenses in premises liability cases?

Common defenses in premises liability cases include claiming that the victim was trespassing, the victim was aware of the dangerous condition and assumed the risk, or the property owner had no knowledge of the dangerous condition.

How long does it take to resolve a premises liability case?

The length of a premises liability case can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the parties to negotiate, and the court's schedule. It can take anywhere from a few months to several years.

Can I file a premises liability claim against a government entity?

Yes, you can file a premises liability claim against a government entity, but it is often more complex due to sovereign immunity laws and stricter filing deadlines. A knowledgeable attorney can guide you through the process.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability cases?

The statute of limitations for premises liability cases varies by state, but it is usually between two and four years from the date of the accident.

What is the difference between premises liability and personal injury?

Premises liability is a subset of personal injury law. While personal injury encompasses any situation where a person is injured due to someone else's negligence, premises liability specifically deals with injuries that occur on someone else's property.
