It’s very common to slip and fall at work. For example, construction workers suffer more deaths and injuries than any other profession from slipping and falling. But slips and falls also happen at stores and in office buildings. We have many types of businesses in Chicago. Each must maintain their floors and fix the potholes in their parking lots to ensure safe walking conditions for their customers.
Many people blame themselves for falling. But the blame doesn’t always belong to them. If the floor is slippery due to an unnatural condition, the owner of the business has a duty to keep that floor dry and clean so you can safely enter. Further, to keep handrails on stairs up to code, and lighting on in parking lots at night. If they fail in their duty, we can try to hold them responsible for your injuries.
