Rockford, IL Premises Liability Lawyers

Winnebago County Attorneys Representing Clients Injured on the Property of Others

Property owners are responsible for making their premises safe for invited guests and visitors who have the right to be on the property. This holds true in both commercial and residential settings. When owners fail to take reasonable steps to keep their property free of hazardous conditions, and an injury occurs, they can be held responsible. If you or a loved one have been injured due to the negligence of a property owner, it is important to speak with an experienced premises liability attorney, so you understand your rights and options.

At Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Injury Law, we have over two decades of experience helping clients secure just compensation when injured on the premises of another party. Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of premises liability law and what it takes to prevail in even the most complex cases against well-funded Chicago area adversaries. We have a strong track record of success with these types of cases, and we have the knowledge, resources, and commitment to ensure that our clients receive the skilled representation they deserve.

Comprehensive Premises Liability Representation in Illinois

We handle a wide range of premises liability cases, including but not limited to:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Wet, oily, or uneven interior or exterior surfaces present a hazard to guests and visitors. When these issues are not addressed in a reasonable manner, slips, trips, and falls with serious injuries can occur.
• Restaurants, Stores, and Malls: Owners and caretakers of these types of properties have a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for those who enter the property. If they deviate from this standard of care, and an injury occurs, they must be held to account.
• Dog Bites: Each year, thousands of individuals in Illinois require medical care due to a dog bite or animal attack. Certain dogs, such as pit bulls and Rottweilers, are especially dangerous, and owners need to take proper steps to ensure they do not harm guests, visitors, or pedestrians passing by.
• Workplace Injuries: If you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation. In some cases, especially those involving construction sites, those who suffer workplace injuries can file a premises liability claim.
• Daycare Injuries: Safety issues at daycare centers can lead to children being harmed. Unfortunately, far too many daycare injuries are the result of the negligence or recklessness of the management or staff.

To prevail in a premises liability case, several important elements need to be established, including:

• The defendant owed a duty of care;
• That duty of care was breached;
• This breach directly resulted in the plaintiff being injured; and
• The injuries sustained resulted in compensable damages.
