Slip and fall accidents are caused by unaddressed safety hazards on a property and can result in serious injury to victims. Whether you are a tenant living on someone else’s property, a customer at a shopping center, or an employee or guest at a place of business, you expect that the manager or owner will maintain their premises to a reasonably safe degree. When safety hazards do exist, it is their responsibility to fix them in a timely manner or provide clear and proper warning for those on the property. Our Morris slip and fall accident lawyers and Joliet slip and fall accident attorneys have been pursuing compensation for victims since 1984. Mueller, Lawson & Frobish, P.C., in Morris, IL, can be reached at 815-942-0635. In Joliet, IL, we can be reached at 815-725-7300.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

  • Indoor or outdoor surfaces that are wet, slippery, or icy.
  • Stairways, aisles, sidewalks, and other walkways that are uneven or not properly maintained.
  • Indoor and outdoor areas that are poorly lit.
  • Debris and hazardous objects in walkways.
  • A failure by owners or managers to properly warn of safety hazards.

Obstacles You May Be Facing After a Slip and Fall Accident

Real estate law can be very confusing and, as real estate clients, the firm helped us draft up legal documents in no time at all. JC and Team got back to us quickly and made it a seamless operation. Closing was a breeze even with a small child, under an hour! My husband and I highly recommend and will work with this law office again. Thanks, JC Lawson and Team!

JC Lawson was referred to us by our RE agent for our closing. It was a long wait, back and forth process due to it being an estate sale. On top of that, the appraisal came back lower than our offer. But JC and Nikki was very patient and helpful in working through the process and reduced our purchase price 20%! Great team to work with, I highly recommend them!
