Premises Liability Attorney in Southern Illinois

Premises Liability Law

The owner or person in charge of a property has a legal obligation to ensure it is safe for those who use or visit it.  This includes private, commercial and government property and applies to indoor and outdoor areas.  Where actions or omissions of those responsible for the property result in an injury, they can be held legally liable for restitution to those affected.  In some cases a suit may be filed against an individual and in other cases a company.  Examples of conditions which may warrant a personal injury claim include:

• Lack of warning of hazardous conditions
• Obstructed pathways or exits
• Uneven flooring or walking surfaces
• Holes in the ground or cement walking areas
• Poorly built or maintained stairs
• Slippery surfaces
• Electrical hazards
• Dangerous chemicals
• Malfunctioning equipment
• Lack of security or insufficient security
