proving liability

Proving a slip and fall case can be a challenge. In order to obtain compensation, your lawyer will investigate any liability for the accident and prove that the property owner was negligent. If the incident took place on someone else's property, factors such as trespassing, faulty locks, or lack of signs on the premises may influence liability.

Under Illinois' comparative fault law, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partly at fault. It is necessary, however, to demonstrate that the property owner was negligent in order to receive damages for the accident.
