There should be no doubt that you can benefit from a slip and fall accident lawyer’s help. Those who suffer injuries or lose loved ones due to falls in Chicago should retain an attorney because:
Your Recovery Must Come First
Brain injuries are among the many ailments associated with falls, as are broken bones and various internal injuries. Whatever your specific injuries are, your recovery must be the priority because:
- Giving your all to recovery ensures you will heal as quickly as possible
- If you fail to rest and recover as necessary, you may cause long-term or even permanent health problems
- Liable parties will be monitoring your actions and may accuse you of exaggerating injuries if you aren’t committed to recovery
You should not divide your time between your recovery and any insurance claim or lawsuit you pursue. Instead, let an attorney guide your case to the finish line while you focus your energy on healing.

How Our Firm Will Fight for a Full and Fair Financial Recovery
With our extensive experience representing slip and fall victims, you can trust that we can build a convincing case on your behalf. We will lead your case from start to finish, and our process will likely include:
Handling All Communications and Paperwork for You
You should not have to deal with a single case-related obligation. While you may need to make a statement, we will walk you through that process. Otherwise, let the team at Michael J. Brennan Injury & Accident Lawyer deal with insurance companies, draft and file all paperwork, and oversee the other critical steps in your case.
Documenting the Cause of Your Slip and Fall
We will secure all evidence that helps prove the cause of slip and fall and who is responsible for your fall. Such evidence may include:
- Photographs of conditions that led to your fall
- Any records that suggest the property owner has a history of negligence
- Eyewitness accounts of your fall and/or the conditions that led to your fall
- Video footage of the fall
- Incident and police reports
We may even hire an expert to reconstruct the events that led to your fall, as well as the fall itself. This may be especially helpful if no video of the slip and fall accident is available.
Documenting Damages You’ve Suffered Because of the Fall
Your Chicago slip and fall lawyer will prove the harm you’ve faced because a negligent property owner failed to protect you. Relevant documentation of your damages may include the following:
- Your doctors’ notes about your injuries and symptoms
- Bills for diagnostic procedures and treatment
- A mental health expert’s evaluation of your pain and suffering
- Bills for mental health treatment
- Evidence of lost income and other professional damages
Because every fall-related injury is unique, we will calculate your specific damages. This personalized approach is one of the many benefits of hiring our firm.
Calculating the Exact Amount of Money You Are Entitled To
We must ensure you don’t pay a dime for fall-related damages, now or in the future. This means that we must calculate exactly how much your damages are worth, including any medical services, professional damages, and other harm you will face in the future.
Negotiating a Settlement
Attorney Brennan is experienced both as a negotiator and trial attorney. This means we are confident in negotiating a fair settlement for you, whether negotiations are with insurance companies or other liable parties.
Reviewing Settlement Offers with You
If and when liable parties extend settlement offers to you, your attorney will discuss the fairness of such offers. As the person enduring the effects of fall-related injuries, you will have the final say on whether to accept a settlement or have us continue fighting for you.
Filing a Lawsuit and Going to Trial, If You Decide To
Filing a lawsuit is an option in slip and fall cases. While most cases settle, our goal is to obtain the compensation you deserve, which can mean going to trial.
Recoverable Damages Common in Chicago Slip and Fall Accident Cases
Damages are always our focus when leading slip and fall accident cases. We must answer the question: How has the slip and fall accident negatively affected you?
Your recoverable damages in slip and fall may take many forms, including:
- Pain and suffering: Our Chicago slip and fall lawyers will calculate the exact value of your pain and suffering. This type of non-economic damage can include lost quality of life, sleep problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, scarring and other types of disfigurement, and other similar hardships.
- Professional losses: Those who fall may be unable to handle the most routine activities, let alone the demands of their job. This can lead to lost income, diminished earning power, and a range of other professional damages. Your attorney will account for all your professional damages as they determine your case value.
- Medical expenses: You must seek a medical evaluation and treatment after a slip and fall. Leave it to attorney Michael J. Brennan to seek fair compensation for any emergency services, procedures, medications, imaging services, and other items and care that result in medical bills. We know how costly care can be for fall victims, and we will demand that liable parties cover all your fall-related medical expenses.
- Disability-related harm: You may face extraordinary damages if you suffer a disabling injury due to a fall (which can come from brain injuries or other ailments). Our settlement demand letter will reflect medical care, medical equipment, total income loss, immense pain and suffering, and other challenges.
Our team evaluates clients’ damages case by case, knowing that no two cases are exactly alike. We vow to account for all your fall-related damages and demand that liable parties pay you fairly.
We Fight for Clients Affected by Fatal Slip and Fall Accidents
Falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death in America. For those affected by fatal falls, this reality is far more than a statistic. Wrongful deaths are life-changing in the worst way, and attorney Michael J. Brennan will provide compassionate, results-driven representation for you.
Some common damages in fatal slip and fall accident cases include:
- Funeral costs
- Burial or cremation expenses
- Grief and several other types of pain and suffering
- Loss of the decedent’s income
- Loss of the decedent’s contributions to their dependents and spouse
- Loss of consortium
Our firm forms close relationships with our clients, whether they have suffered an injury or lost a loved one. This allows us to gauge the true cost of the fall and seek fair compensation from liable parties.
We Prove When Property Owners Fail to Maintain Safe Premises
Experts know that no space is immune from the risk of slip and fall accidents. Whether in summer, winter, or other seasons, these accidents happen in Chicago in various conditions. A common thread exists between almost every slip and fall accident: Someone who should have prevented the accident failed to do so.
Some common slip hazards that can lead to an insurance claim or lawsuit include:
- Spills
- Weather-related hazards, like rain and snow
- Slick flooring material
- Loose carpet
- Loose items on the floor
- Uneven or broken stairs
Chicago property owners must take active measures to reduce the risk of someone falling and suffering injuries. When they fail to do so, our firm holds property owners accountable for their negligence.
