Should I Get a Lawyer for a Slip and Fall in Chicago?

If you’ve suffered an injury in a slip and fall accident in Chicago, you might be wondering if you truly need legal representation. The answer is almost always yes. While every case is unique, hiring an experienced Chicago slip and fall attorney significantly increases your chances of securing the compensation you deserve and navigating the complexities of the legal system.

Here’s why having a dedicated slip and fall lawyer from Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers on your side is crucial.

Understanding Complex Premises Liability Laws

Illinois’s Premises Liability Act (740 ILCS 130) dictates the duties of property owners. A skilled attorney understands these nuances, recent legal developments, and how they apply to your specific situation, including the intricacies of proving negligence and the property owner’s duty of care.

Proving Negligence and Liability

Establishing that a property owner was negligent and directly caused your injuries is the cornerstone of a successful slip and fall accident claim. This often involves:

• Thorough Investigation: Our team conducts in-depth investigations, gathering crucial evidence like accident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements.
• Identifying Liable Parties: We meticulously identify all potentially responsible parties, whether it’s a landlord, business owner, employee, contractor, or even a government agency.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. Without legal representation, you risk accepting a settlement that is far less than your case is worth. Our attorneys have decades of experience negotiating with insurance companies, ensuring your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation for all your damages.

Calculating Full Damages

Many victims underestimate the true cost of their injuries. Beyond immediate medical bills, a slip and fall can lead to lost wages, future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and significant non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life. 

We meticulously calculate both economic and non-economic damages to pursue the maximum possible recovery.

Navigating Comparative Negligence

Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence model (735 ILCS 5/2-1116). If you are found to be 50% or more at fault for your accident, you cannot recover compensation. An attorney can argue against allegations of your fault and protect your claim.

Adhering to Strict Deadlines

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Illinois is generally two years from the date of the accident (735 ILCS 5/13-202). Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim. Our legal team ensures all paperwork is filed accurately and on time.

Focusing on Your Recovery

Dealing with the aftermath of an injury is stressful enough. By entrusting your case to our experienced attorneys, you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery while we handle all the legal complexities.

Don’t wait to seek legal guidance. The sooner you contact us, the easier it will be to gather crucial evidence and build a strong case. Contact Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation. We handle slip and fall accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win.

Slip and Fall Injury Settlements Recovered by Our Chicago Law Firm

At Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers, we’ve recovered significant financial compensation for fall victims across Chicago and beyond. Below are some examples of our recent settlements:

• $4,000,000 – Wrongful death settlement for the estate of Thomas, 71, who died from a subdural hematoma after falling during a hospital stay for hip replacement surgery. Despite being flagged as a high fall risk, staff failed to use bed alarms or assistive devices and left him unattended. After the fall, he was found hours later on the floor, with no immediate medical intervention provided. The delay in diagnosis and treatment of his head injury contributed to his rapid decline and death, leading to a substantial settlement for negligence in fall prevention and post-fall care.
• $2,600,000 – Marcus, 42, a union laborer, tore multiple knee ligaments after tripping over debris at an active Chicago jobsite. He required surgery and could no longer return to heavy labor. While workers’ compensation covered his basic medical care and partial wage loss, this larger settlement came from a third-party lawsuit against the subcontractor responsible for site cleanup. Because the at-fault party was not his direct employer, Marcus was eligible to pursue a civil claim in addition to benefits afforded to him from his employer under the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Act.
• $2,000,000 – Lena, 28, fractured her pelvis after slipping on unsalted ice outside a Chicago church. The property owner failed to treat walkways after a snowstorm. 
• $1,500,000 – Harold, 80, fell down a stairway at his apartment due to missing handrails and uneven steps. The building had multiple city code violations tied to previous complaints. 
• $1,200,000 – Denise, 56, slipped on food debris in a major retail store in Chicago. She suffered a broken arm and underwent surgery after surveillance confirmed the hazard was ignored.

This list is not exhaustive, and our Chicago personal injury lawyers continue to secure significant results for those hurt in slip and fall accidents.

What Are Your Legal Rights If You Slip and Fall on Someone Else’s Property in Chicago?

Under the Illinois Premises Liability Act (740 ILCS 130), the state treats invitees and licensees the same, and property owners and occupiers have a duty to keep their premises safe for all visitors. 

This law establishes a basic rule of reasonable care, meaning owners must address hazards or warn guests about them to prevent injuries. 

An example of reasonable care is promptly mopping up a spilled drink in a grocery store and placing a warning sign to alert customers of the wet floor. But if it’s left unattended for three hours, that’s typically seen as negligence. 

If someone violates this duty of care and you’re injured as a result, you could be entitled to compensation for any injuries resulting from your slip and fall accident.

What Are the Most Common Injuries Sustained in Slip and Fall Accidents?

Slip and fall accidents can cause far more than a temporary inconvenience—they often result in serious injuries that disrupt a person’s health, mobility, and overall quality of life. At our firm, we’ve represented clients facing a wide range of slip and fall injuries, including:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A sudden fall can cause a powerful blow to the head, sometimes resulting in a traumatic brain injury. In severe cases, part of the skull may fracture and pierce brain tissue. 
• Spinal Cord Injuries: Falls can exert intense force on the spine, leading to fractured vertebrae, nerve damage, or, in some cases, paralysis. Victims may suffer chronic pain, muscle spasms, loss of movement or sensation, and even bowel or bladder dysfunction. Some spinal injuries worsen over time without proper medical care.
• Broken Bones: Fractures are one of the most common outcomes of a fall, particularly for older adults. They can significantly limit mobility and may require surgery. 
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons can result in ongoing pain, weakness, and restricted movement. Soft tissue injuries often require extensive physical therapy and, if left untreated, can lead to chronic discomfort or recurring flare-ups.

• Hip Fractures: Hip fractures are especially common and serious among elderly fall victims. These injuries often require surgical intervention and can lead to long-term immobility, loss of independence, and a difficult recovery process.
• Neck Injuries: Neck trauma from a fall can involve whiplash, pinched nerves, or strained muscles. This often leads to headaches, limited motion, and nerve pain radiating through the shoulders and arms.
• Dislocated Shoulder: A fall can cause the shoulder joint to dislocate, resulting in sharp pain, instability, and limited use of the arm. In many cases, victims face a high risk of repeated dislocations or require surgical repair.
• Knee Injuries: Falls frequently cause ligament damage, fractures, or long-term joint problems in the knee. Victims may need surgery or joint replacement and often face lasting mobility challenges.

What Damages Are Available to Slip and Fall Injury Victims?

There are primarily two kinds of damages you can recover in a slip and fall accident case – economic and non-economic damages. 

Economic damages related to tangible financial expenses you incurred as a result of the serious injuries you sustained in your fall, such as:

• Past and current medical bills
• Future medical bills
• Lost wages 
• Rehabilitation costs
• Skilled nursing care
• Property damage

Non-economic damages aren’t related to financial losses. Instead, they relate to subjective factors, including:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Disability
• Scarring
• Loss of life enjoyment

Under 735 ILCS 5/2-1115.05, punitive damages in slip and fall accident cases are awarded to punish the defendant for particularly harmful behavior and to deter similar actions in the future. 

They can only be given when the defendant acted with an evil motive or showed reckless and outrageous indifference to a highly unreasonable risk of harm.

In one example, $140 million in punitive damages were awarded to the estate of Elvira Nunziata, a nursing home resident who died after falling down a stairwell while strapped into her wheelchair. The jury found the facility acted with reckless disregard for resident safety, amid widespread neglect and understaffing.

What Is the Value of Your Slip and Fall Case?

Data by Law.com based on 317 lawsuits filed in Cook County reveals that the median slip and fall accident settlement is around $177,500, suggesting that half of the payouts fall below this amount, often reflecting cases with moderate physical pain or less severe injuries. 

In contrast, the average settlement is much higher at $499,745, likely influenced by outlier cases involving significant bodily harm, head injuries, or extensive medical treatment due to a negligent property owner. 

Slip and fall settlements depend on individual factors, but reviewing similar past cases can offer some insight. These accidents may allow you to recover monetary and non-monetary damages, with settlements typically higher for catastrophic or permanent injuries. To better understand your potential damages, consult our attorneys or use our slip and fall settlement calculator. 

What Are the Most Common Causes of Slips and Falls in Chicago?

While slips and falls can happen almost anywhere in Chicago, certain conditions make them far more likely to occur. Below are frequent causes of slip and fall accidents, which may lead to claims against property or business owners. 

• Weather-Related Hazards – Ice buildup near L stations or on Lake Shore Drive, as well as snow accumulation at busy locations like the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier, can create a dangerous condition. Slick sidewalks at spots like Union Station or the Riverwalk also pose a high risk, often requiring victims to seek damages for medical expenses following a slip and fall injury. 
• Poorly Maintained Public Areas – Cracked sidewalks in neighborhoods such as Wicker Park or Logan Square, along with pothole-filled parking lots in retail areas like Water Tower Place, can lead to slip and fall injuries. 
• Slippery Floors in Businesses  – Spilled liquids at grocery stores like Jewel-Osco or Mariano’s and freshly mopped surfaces in hospitals such as Northwestern Memorial or Rush University Medical Center, without proper warning signs, can lead to serious injuries. 
• Inadequate Lighting in Public and Private Spaces – Dimly lit stairwells at older apartments in Hyde Park or insufficient lighting around parking garages like Millennium Park often hide wet spots and uneven steps. This increases the chance of slip and fall accidents. 
• Construction Zones and Public Transit Risks  – Uneven surfaces or obstructed walkways at CTA stations, such as Roosevelt or Belmont, and sidewalk closures near The Loop or West Loop construction sites frequently contribute to slip and fall injuries. 

What Duties Do Chicago Property Owners Have to Prevent Slips and Falls?

Under the Illinois Premises Liability Act, property owners must take reasonable steps to ensure visitor safety, whether it’s a business on Michigan Avenue or an apartment in Hyde Park. 

While they aren’t liable for obvious dangers or unknown risks, they must address hazards that could harm people on their property.

• Maintaining a Safe Environment – A “reasonable person” standard determines how owners should act. For example, a River North restaurant manager needs to quickly clean spills and place wet floor signs, while a landlord should inspect hallways and sidewalks for cracks or debris to prevent accidents.
• Clear Signage and Warnings – If a hazard can’t be fixed immediately—for example, a wet floor at a busy CTA station—property owners should post signs or barriers to warn people.   
• Prompt Removal of Ice and Snow – During Chicago’s winters, icy sidewalks and entrances pose significant risks. Property owners along Lake Shore Drive or in the Loop should consistently shovel and salt to prevent slips and falls.  

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Slip and Fall Accident Case?

Liability for a slip and fall accident can rest on different parties, depending on the circumstances and location of the accident. Below are examples of who might be held responsible:

• The Property Owner – If Downtown Chicago landlords or property owners fail to address issues like water leaks or poorly maintained common areas, they could be held liable for injuries. This includes landlords who fail to maintain common areas in apartment buildings.   
• Employees or Contractors – Cleaning staff, construction workers, or restaurant employees may be responsible if their negligence leads to accidents.  
• The Manufacturer – Defective products, like poorly designed ladders, can make manufacturers liable if the product causes a fall. 
• Maintenance Personnel – Property managers or groundskeepers who neglect hazards like ice, snow, or sidewalk cracks may be at fault for accidents. 
• Government Agencies – If public property is unsafe, government entities might be liable, but victims must meet specific notice deadlines to file claims. 

Our Chicago premises liability attorneys can help identify the liable parties and fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve.

How Do You Prove a Slip and Fall Case? 

If you’ve been hurt in a slip-and-fall accident, the law requires that you prove you were legally on the property and that the owner was negligent. The following are the elements required to prove and win a slip and fall case:

• The property owner knew about the issue   
• They failed to correct it
• The hazard existed so long that the owner should have discovered and fixed it before you got hurt

To determine liability and reasonableness, the court examines if the defendant knew or should have known about the hazard and whether they acted to fix it or warn others. Factors include property type, hazard severity, how long it existed, and the owner’s response.  

When you hire the best slip and fall lawyers in Chicago, slip and fall evidence will be recovered to help you prove negligence.  

What Are Some Common Defenses in Illinois Slip and Fall Cases?

When pursuing a slip and fall claim in Chicago, it’s crucial to understand that property owners and their insurance companies will often employ various defenses to minimize their liability or outright deny your claim. 

Our experienced attorneys are well-versed in these common defenses and are prepared to counter them effectively on your behalf.

Here are some typical defenses you might encounter in an Illinois slip and fall case:

The “Open and Obvious” Doctrine

This is one of the most frequently used defenses. Property owners may argue that the dangerous condition that caused your fall was “open and obvious”. 

The Illinois Supreme Court defines the definition of ‘open and obvious’ as “A possessor of land is not liable to his invitees for physical harm caused to them by any activity or condition on the land where danger is known or obvious to them, unless the possessor should anticipate the harm despite such knowledge or obviousness.” Ward v. K-Mart, 136 Ill. 2d 132 (1990). In Sollami v. Eaton, 201 Ill. 2d 1 (2002).

If a hazard is deemed open and obvious, the property owner might claim they had no duty to warn you or protect you from it.

• Our Response: We investigate whether there were any exceptions to this rule, such as the “distraction exception” (where foreseeable distractions prevented you from seeing the hazard) or the “deliberate encounter exception” (where you were compelled to encounter the hazard for economic or other reasons).

Lack of Notice

The property owner may claim they did not know about the dangerous condition and had no reasonable opportunity to discover or fix it before your accident.

• Our Response: We work to prove “actual notice” (they directly knew about it) or “constructive notice” (the hazard existed long enough that they should have known about it through reasonable inspection and maintenance). Evidence like surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness testimony is crucial here.

Comparative Negligence (Your Fault)

The defense will often attempt to argue that your own actions contributed to your fall, such as being distracted, not paying attention, or wearing inappropriate footwear. If your percentage of fault is found to be 50% or more, you lose your right to seek compensation.

• Our Response: We meticulously gather evidence to demonstrate that the property owner’s negligence was the primary cause of your fall and mitigate any claims of your contributory fault.

Natural Accumulation Rule (for Snow and Ice)

In Illinois, property owners are generally not liable for injuries caused by the natural accumulation of snow or ice on their premises. This means if you slip on a natural patch of ice that hasn’t been altered, the owner may not be held responsible.

• Our Response: We investigate if the accumulation was unnatural (e.g., caused by a defective downspout, improper plowing, or melting and refreezing due to building defects), or if the property owner’s efforts to remove snow or ice actually made the condition worse.

Lack of Causation

The defense might argue that the dangerous condition on their property did not actually cause your injuries, or that your injuries were pre-existing or caused by something else entirely.

• Our Response: We work closely with medical experts and gather comprehensive medical records to unequivocally link your injuries to the slip and fall accident.

Trespasser Status

Property owners generally owe a lower duty of care to trespassers (individuals on the property without permission). The defense may argue that you were trespassing.

• Our Response: We will establish your legal status on the property (e.g., invitee or licensee) at the time of the accident to ensure the appropriate duty of care applies.

Understanding these potential defenses highlights the importance of having skilled legal representation. Our Chicago slip and fall accident lawyers anticipate these arguments and build robust cases to overcome them, ensuring you have the strongest possible chance of success.

How Does a Victim’s Fault Affect the Success of a Slip and Fall Claim in Illinois?

Under 735 ILCS 5/2-1116, Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence model in personal injury cases, including slip and fall incidents. Under this rule, victims can only obtain compensation if they are less than 50% at fault.  

For instance, if a facility addresses a spill by marking and cleaning the area, but you ignore warnings or fail to exercise caution, a court may find you more than 50% responsible, barring compensation.

Where Do Slip and Fall Accidents Happen in Chicago?

According to slip and fall statistics, these incidents are the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Anyone can suffer injuries from a fall, regardless of gender or age. Some common places where slips and falls accidents occur are: 

• The workplace – Slips and falls are the number one cause of workers’ compensation claims;  
• Nursing homes – Nursing home falls can be especially dangerous, as seniors are much more likely to die as a result of their injuries.  
• Private property – If you fall on someone’s private property, the homeowner can be held responsible.
• Chicago Retail Stores & Supermarkets – Slippery floors from spilled liquids or items that have been knocked off shelves can pose serious risks in places like HomeGoods, IKEA, Costco, and 7-Eleven. 
• Restaurants and Cafés in Chicago – Fast-paced service and messy eating areas can lead to spills that aren’t cleaned up fast enough. Examples include Baskin-Robbins, Domino’s Pizza, Starbucks, and Wendy’s.
• Airports and Stadiums – Busy hallways and concourses often become congested, and wet floors from tracked-in rain or snow add to the danger. For example, slips and falls may occur at Guaranteed Rate Field, Midway International Airport, O’Hare International Airport, United Center, and Wrigley Field.
• Popular Chicago Attractions – Large crowds and frequent visitors can mean more wear and tear on facilities, creating hidden slip hazards at places like Willis Tower, Grant Park, and Soldier Field.
• Malls, Construction Sites, & Nursing Homes – Malls, like Woodfield Mall in Chicago, often have slick floors and tight corners, and construction zones can leave debris or uneven surfaces, all leading to slips and falls. 
• Commercial property – A commercial property owner or the tenant currently occupying the space can be held liable for falls. 

How Long Do You Have to File a Slip and Fall Claim in Illinois?

Per 735 ILCS 5/13-202, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Chicago is two years from the date of the accident. You will not be able to file a personal injury claim after this time elapses unless your case falls into an exception that extends the deadline. 

Also, the sooner you reach out for help, the easier it will be for your lawyer to find the evidence they need.   

What Are Some Recent Cases and Settlement Values in Illinois?

Recent settlement data from Illinois shows a wide range in compensation values for personal injury claims, including fall accidents. While some cases settle for as little as $5,750, others reach as high as $5.3 million. 

Andreas Bakopoulos v. Union Pacific Railroad Co.

In a Chicago case, diesel mechanic Andreas Bakopoulos was awarded $5.45 million after slipping on diesel fuel while working at a railyard. He claimed the railroad failed to provide a safe work environment and proper tools, leading to a back injury and a hernia. 

The jury found Union Pacific 60.5% liable, rejecting the defense’s argument that his injuries stemmed from a later car accident. Bakopoulos underwent spinal fusion surgery and experienced lasting physical pain and limitations that affected his ability to work and engage in daily life.

Michael D. Berk v. Pepper Construction Co.

In Chicago, Michael Berk slipped on black ice outside a construction site and fractured his ankle, requiring multiple surgeries over several years. He sued Pepper Construction, claiming the company’s snow removal practices created the hazardous ice buildup. 

The defense denied liability and argued Berk was distracted at the time of the fall. Despite complications including infection, chronic pain, and permanent limitations on physical activity, Berk resumed some sports and parenting duties. 

A jury awarded him $2 million in damages, covering medical costs, physical and emotional pain and suffering, disfigurement, and loss of normal life.

Maria Garcia v. 6653-55 North Seeley Building Condominium Association 

Maria Garcia slipped on an icy, dimly lit stairway at a Chicago condominium and fractured her knee. She sued the property owner for failing to maintain proper lighting, which she argued contributed to the dangerous condition. 

Garcia underwent three surgeries, including a knee replacement, and was told she may need another within 10–15 years. The jury found the defendant 62.8% at fault and awarded $1.18 million, later reduced to $740,183.97 due to Garcia’s share of comparative negligence. Her award covered medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of normal life, and disfigurement.

Chicago Slip and Fall FAQs

What Should I Do After a Slip and Fall Incident? 

After a slip and fall, prioritize getting medical attention to address your injuries. If possible, report the incident to the police to document the event and request medical help if needed. Once treated, consult a slip and fall lawyer promptly. Your Chicago slip and fall injury attorney can investigate the site, gather witness statements, and obtain medical and first responder reports. 

What Should I Do If I Fell in My Apartment?

Document the dangerous condition that caused your slip, such as a broken step or slippery floor from a leaky pipe. If the landlord or property manager neglected to fix the hazard, you might recover compensation for medical expenses or lost wages. Keep records of communication with your landlord about the issue. Consult an experienced Chicago slip and fall law firm as well. 

How Do I Pay Medical Bills Following a Slip and Fall?

Your health insurance may initially cover some costs, but you might still be left with significant expenses after the injury occurred. An experienced lawyer can pursue a premises liability case to seek compensation for treatments. If you secure a fair settlement or court award, that money can pay your outstanding medical bills.

How Long Will My Case Take to Resolve?

Every case is different, and the complexity of your claim can affect how long it takes. Chicago courts often have busy dockets as well, so the availability of judges is a factor. Additionally, the willingness of the property owner’s insurance company to negotiate will play a part. A slip and fall case can sometimes settle in months or stretch beyond a year.

Can I File a Slip and Fall Injury Lawsuit if the Incident Happened at Work?

If you fell at work due to negligence, you might qualify for workers’ compensation benefits to cover medical costs and some lost wages. Additionally, if a third party caused the fall, you could file a premises liability claim to seek damages for pain, suffering, and emotional distress. Consult an experienced slip and fall lawyer to identify the best course of action. 

Can I Sue the Government if I Fell on Public Property?

Yes, but suing a government entity often involves strict guidelines for filing notices and meeting legal deadlines. If government entities fail to maintain sidewalks or buildings under their care, you may hold them accountable for your injuries. Because those claims can be complex, it’s always a good idea to consult a top-rated Chicago slip and fall accident attorney.

Is a Property Owner Liable for Injuries to Trespassers?

Generally, Chicago property owners owe no duty of care to adult trespassers unless they acted recklessly or intended to cause harm. However, defendants could be liable for foreseeable risks if a child trespasser is involved.  

Do I Have to Go to the Doctor After I Fall?  

Even if you feel okay, seeing a doctor is important because injuries like head trauma or spinal cord injuries might not show symptoms right away. Documentation from a medical exam can also support your premises liability case against the responsible party. Quick treatment helps protect your health and your legal claim.

Do I Need an Attorney to File a Premises Liability Claim? 

While it’s possible to file on your own, hiring a lawyer can make it easier to gather evidence of someone else’s negligence and negotiate with insurance companies. A trip and fall accident lawyer understands how to prove liability and can protect your rights during the legal process. 

Insurance companies tend to take you more seriously the moment you start working with a lawyer, leading to a better settlement offer.  

Are Chicago Slip and Fall Injury Lawyers Expensive? 

Most slip and fall lawyers in Chicago charge a contingency fee of 33% to 40% of the total recovery, depending on the stage at which the case is resolved.

How Can You Assess the Track Record of a Chicago Slip and Fall Lawyer?

Check their case results, client reviews, and legal ratings. Ask about past settlements or verdicts in similar cases to gauge their experience.
