Conditions that Can Lead to Indoor Slip and Fall Accidents (Part A)

If you or someone you love has been involved in an indoor Illinois slip and fall accident, you may be wondering what your legal rights are. An Illinois slip and fall lawyer can help you understand how to determine liability and what recourses you may have to recover compensation. Since slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries and even death, it is important that you contact a Chicago personal injury lawyer to discuss these options.

Property owners can be held liable if their failure to take necessary precautions resulted in a slip and fall injury. In addition, if a property owner failed to correct a problem that led to a slip and fall accident, then the owner may also be held liable.

 

Conditions That Can Lead to Indoor Slip and Fall Accidents

Most slip and fall accidents occur due to the condition of the flooring. Although property owners are expected to take care of their floors, if a wet floor leads to a slip and fall injury, then the owner may be held liable. If a property owner does any of the following, they may also be liable for injuries sustained in a Chicago slip and fall accident:

  • Fails to provide adequate warnings that a floor is being cleaned or is wet;
  • Fails to close off an area that is wet;
  • Uses too much polish or wax on a floor;
  • Unevenly applies polish or wax on floor;
  • Treats only some parts of the floor which causes a change in conditions when walking across it;
  • Treats flooring that is inclined or slopes; and
  • If required, a failure to use non-skid ingredients when treating a floor.

If you are involved in an indoor slip and fall in Chicago due to any of the above reasons, then you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim. A Chicago personal injury lawyer can help you determine eligibility.
