Property Owner Liability Explained

Summary

As a property owner in Illinois, you could be held liable if someone is injured on your property, even if someone else resides there. Liability depends on factors such as the circumstances of the accident, whether the injured party was legally on your property, and if you were negligent in maintaining the property. If someone is injured due to a known hazardous condition you didnt address, you could be held liable. Illinois law follows the comparative negligence rule, which may reduce or deny compensation if the injured party was careless. Its advisable to consult a local attorney for specific advice and to document any injuries and circumstances related to the incident.
