DuPage County Premises Accident Lawyers for Slip and Fall Injuries and Dog Bites

People can suffer serious injuries in multiple different situations. In many cases, injury victims will experience personal and financial difficulties as they receive medical treatment, miss work while they are recovering, and deal with the impact their injuries have had on their lives. When injuries are caused by someone else's negligence, victims can seek compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit. A victim who is injured while visiting property owned by another person or company, such as a private residence or a retail store, may take action against the property owner to address the harm they have suffered due to hazards on the property.

When pursuing a premises liability claim against a negligent property owner, victims will need to work with a lawyer who understands the legal issues involved in these cases. At Hunt & Subach, Ltd., we have represented clients in multiple types of personal injury matters, and we can help victims take the correct steps to show that a property owner was responsible for their injuries. We work to make sure our clients receive compensation that fully addresses their damages, including expenses related to medical treatment, income lost while recovering from an injury, impairment to a person's ability to work and earn an income, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.

Injuries Caused by Property Owner Negligence

There are multiple situations where visitors to someone else's home or a public establishment such as a store, restaurant, or shopping mall may suffer injuries. Property owners are required to maintain a safe premises, and this includes correcting or repairing hazards or providing warning signs or other notifications to ensure that visitors can avoid being injured. If property owners fail to follow the proper safety measures, visitors may be injured by:

• Slip and fall accidents - Wet or slippery floors, torn carpets, missing floor tiles, cracked sidewalks, or potholes in parking lots can cause people to lose their footing and fall down. These incidents may lead to traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, dislocated joints, or other forms of bodily harm. Property owners may be held responsible for their failure to address these types of hazards, such as failing to use floor mats or clean up spills or failure to provide adequate lighting to ensure that people can see and avoid hazards.
• Dog bites and animal attacks - A person may suffer multiple types of serious injuries when they are bitten or attacked by a dog, including severe lacerations, broken bones, nerve damage, infections, scarring and disfigurement, and emotional trauma. A dog's owner or the person in control of an animal, such as a dog walker or kennel owner, may be held liable for any injuries suffered by a dog bite victim who was legally allowed to be in the location where the attack occurred and who did not provoke the animal.
• Negligent security - An establishment's owner is responsible for protecting the safety of people in and around their building. Customers at a bar, restaurant, or nightclub may be injured due to a lack of adequate security staff or a failure to break up fights or eject troublesome patrons. Inadequate lighting in a parking garage or the walking areas around the exterior of a building may put people at risk of suffering injuries due to robberies or assaults.
