Chicago, Illinois: Slip, Trip and Fall Attorney
When you enter another's home or a retail store, you expect that the property is safe, or if there is a danger, you will be warned. Unfortunately, serious and catastrophic accidents occur frequently due to a failure to maintain property or warn of dangerous property conditions. While some of those defects can be very small, they may lead to serious injuries. In fact, if it were a large defect, it would be noticed and avoided.
At Thomas M. Paris, Attorney and Counselor at Law, we offer experienced and strategic advocacy to protect the rights of our clients who have suffered serious injury due to failed maintenance and dangerous property conditions.

Defense theories and arguments blaming the victim, someone else, or God are not new to Thomas M. Paris.

What if I am Partly at Fault?
Even if you were partly at fault for the injury, you may still have the right to recover against a private homeowner's insurance or commercial property owner. Contributory negligence law deals with liability when a victim is partially to blame for the injury. We have extensive experience in dealing with this defense and can help you recover the compensation you deserve.
