Each Chicago premises liability lawyer at The Horwitz Law Group offers experienced and aggressive advocacy to maximize compensation for our clients who have suffered serious injury caused by negligent maintenance, structural defects or a security breach.
We will aggressively investigate your case and identify potential defendants. Whether you were involved in a slip and fall or security breach case, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
Premises liability actions provide recourse against property owners, landlords, and security companies that failed to repair or maintain premises to keep all tenants or visitors safe. You may be entitled to compensation if an individual or entity had warning of a defect and failed to make a repair leaving a broken light, broken lock, or broken gate. You may also be entitled to compensation if you slip and fall in a commercial or residential establishment. However, the evidence must be preserved which requires prompt action on behalf of the injured party. Our firm will take an aggressive approach, collect all necessary evidence and aggressively pursue your claim.
Situations such as slippery surfaces, broken stairs and faulty handrails can lead to serious accidents. A skilled Chicago slip-and-fall injury lawyer can explain your options for monetary compensation.
