Dangerous Premises

Illinois Dangerous Premises Attorneys

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition so it doesn't pose a danger to others.

• Homeowners need to keep their sidewalks shoveled and free of ice in the winter and repair broken or crumbling stairs.
• Municipalities need to maintain public sidewalks, roadways, and the playground equipment in parks so they don't risk injuring people.
• Owners of retail stores, shopping malls, office buildings, sports arenas, and anywhere else open to the public must keep their property well lit and safe.

If there is a broken railing, a wet floor, or a sidewalk trip hazard, the property owner must fix it or warn people of the danger. Otherwise, the hazard can result in a retail accident, pedestrian accident, or other type of premises accident that can cause serious injury.
