Chicago, IL Premises Liability FAQs
What is premises liability?
Premises liability refers to legal responsibility that property owners have for injuries that occur due to unsafe or hazardous conditions on their property.
Do I have a case if I was hurt on private or commercial property?
Possibly. If the property owner knew — or should have known — about the hazard and failed to take action, you may be able to file a claim. A free consultation can help clarify your options.
What evidence is needed in a premises liability case?
Photos of the scene, witness statements, surveillance footage, and maintenance records can all be helpful. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better chance you have to preserve this evidence.
How much does it cost to hire Michael J. Brennan?
You don’t pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay if we recover compensation for you.
