    Slip and Fall Accident FAQs

    A slip and fall case is a type of premises liability claim. It occurs when someone is injured due to a dangerous condition on another person’s property, such as a spill, broken steps, or poor lighting. To recover compensation, you must show the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to correct or warn about the hazard.

    In most cases, Illinois law allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claims involving government-owned property may have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.

    Yes. Illinois follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you were less than 50 percent at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

    If you were injured on the job, you may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. Our firm handles both premises liability claims and workers’ compensation cases in Carbondale and can help determine the best path forward.

    Lawler & Lawler Injury Law works on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront costs, and we only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you.
