Property owners in Illinois could be liable for slip and fall injuries if a wet or slippery floor created an unreasonable risk, the owner knew or should have known about the risk, and did not warn people about the floor or fix the hazard. Having no wet floor sign could render a property owner responsible, but liability is not automatic.
Compensation for slip and fall injuries in Chicago can range from thousands to millions of dollars. Payouts can vary widely based on the severity of injuries, cost of medical bills, lost wages, whether you share fault for the fall, and the quality and quantity of evidence supporting your claim. Understanding these factors will help you get a clearer picture of the value of your case and make an informed decision on how to pursue the case.
