Malman Law - Extensive Slip and Fall Experience Pays Off

11-Aug-2011 Malman Law recently called upon our extensive experience with slip and fall accidents in the Chicago area to recover substantial awards for clients in separate incidents. Our team of personal injury attorneys has successfully argued several slip and fall accidents in Chicago and the surrounding area, and we are pleased with the outcome of these two recent settlements.

The first slip and fall accident occurred when a female client slipped and fell on water at a retail store. As a result of the accident, she sustained shoulder injuries that required surgical repair. The Malman Law team worked with her to recover $475,000.00 for her injury, pain and suffering.

The second case involved a woman who was involved in a slip and fall accident that resulted in a wrist fracture. She was awarded $125,000.00 with assistance from our personal injury Chicago attorneys.

Our Chicago personal injury attorneys know that slip and fall accidents are very common - they happen every day. But in many instances they are completely avoidable if proper care and maintenance are observed. Stores, restaurants, and other premises frequented by visitors, patrons, and others must make sure that there are no slippery conditions that can cause a Chicago, Illinois slip and fall accident. Slip and fall injuries can be extremely painful and costly for the victim. It is the job of property owners to make sure that if there are any slippery conditions or other hazards on the ground that can cause Chicago slip and fall, trip and fall, or step and fall accidents that warnings are issued so that people know that they must exercise caution.

Examples of Other Same-Level Fall Accidents that Can Cause Painful Injuries:
• Slip and fall accidents
• Stump fall accidents
• Step and fall accidents
• Fall accidents involving the victim experiencing “forced rotation,” such as the twisting of an ankle


Chicago Slip/Stump/Step/Trip and fall accidents are not uncommon. The medical costs to treat and recover from this type of Cook County premises liability accident can be high and the victim could be laid up for weeks or even months, which could prevent him/her from going to work. These are just a few reasons why obtaining your Chicago personal injury recovery is so important.
