When Are Aurora Slip and Fall Accidents Valid Personal Injury Cases?

According to the Illinois Premises Liability Act (740 ILCS 130/), property owners must maintain safe conditions for visitors. They can be held liable for injuries if they knew about a hazard but failed to fix it. To win a claim, injured victims must show negligence caused unsafe conditions.

Examples of accidents on someone else’s property include falls caused by: a person slipping on a wet floor at a store, tripping due to inadequate lighting in a parking garage, slipping due to icy sidewalks, uneven or broken pavement, or getting injured on a hazardous site (a construction accident).

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in Aurora

If you or a loved one has physical injuries caused by a dangerous condition, follow these steps:

  1. If your fall occurred due to a property owner’s negligence, seek medical attention first.
  2. Document the scene immediately to preserve key evidence. Take photos and videos of the hazardous condition before the hazard is cleared or repaired.
  3. Report the accident to the property owner, landlord, or building manager. Keep the incident report.
  4. Avoid posting about the incident on social media.
  5. Collect witness information (all names and contact details).
  6. Avoid giving a recorded statement to insurance adjusters before consulting a lawyer.
  7. Contact an attorney to discuss legal options.

How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Claim in Illinois?

Illinois law sets a two-year deadline for personal injury claims, including slip and fall cases (735 ILCS 5/13-202). Claims involving government entity property have a shorter deadline of one year. Missing the deadline can forfeit your right to file. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, call an Aurora personal injury attorney for help.

What Financial Compensation Could I Receive for My Slip and Fall Accident Claim?
