Owning property, whether residential or commercial, carries with it the responsibility to keep the property reasonably safe so that other people are not injured. However, too many Illinois property owners fail to live up to their responsibilities, resulting in serious injuries to others.
At Steinberg, Burtker & Grossman, we represent those who have suffered injuries on dangerous and poorly maintained property in Chicago, elsewhere in Cook County and throughout Illinois. With more than 40 years of experience as Chicago slip-and-fall lawyers, we act quickly and decisively to build claims for our clients. Whether you fell and injured your head, your back or any other part of your body, we will work diligently to recover compensation from the negligent property owner and his or her insurance company.

Preserving Evidence Is Key
When someone is injured, it is very common for the property owner to rush to repair the condition that caused the accident. That means it is critical to gather evidence as soon as possible, before it disappears. In many situations, even a timely consultation with an attorney may be too late to obtain certain evidence. To bolster the strength of your potential claim, and if you are able, try asking a friend or family member to take pictures of the dangerous condition. If the accident happened at a store, hotel or other commercial establishment, contact the manager so that a report can be made.
All Personal Injury Cases Are Handled on a Contingency Basis
We have the resources to invest in your case. We will not ask you for any payment unless we are successful in getting you compensation in your slip-and-fall case.
