Premises Injuries

When property owners fail to keep their premises safe and you get hurt, Illinois premises-liability law gives you the right to recover. Marker Law builds the notice case that wins.

What This Category Covers

The Cases We Handle Here

Slip-and-falls get most of the attention, but premises liability covers far more — negligent security, dog bites on property, swimming-pool injuries, falling objects, structural defects. Pick the kind of case that matches your facts.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to the questions Marker Law clients ask most often about this topic.

Notice means the property owner knew (actual notice) or should have known (constructive notice) about the dangerous condition. Establishing notice is the central battle in almost every premises case.
Generally two years from the date of injury in Illinois. Claims against governmental property owners can be one year. Call quickly so surveillance video (often overwritten in 30-60 days) can be preserved.
No. Liability requires that the owner had notice and a reasonable opportunity to fix or warn — and that the failure caused your injury.
Illinois generally protects owners from liability for natural accumulations. But if removal efforts made it worse, or the ice came from an unnatural source (broken downspout, plowed pile), liability can attach.
Yes — the Illinois Animal Control Act imposes strict liability on owners whose dog attacks without provocation. Marker Law has handled severe dog-bite cases involving disfigurement and reconstructive surgery.
