Barrington Lawyer for Injuries Caused By Dangerous Property Conditions
Premises Liability Attorney Serving Palatine, Lake Zurich and Surrounding Areas
Property owners have a legal responsibility for the safety of visitors. They must comply with building codes and be vigilant in maintaining their premises. They have a duty to take action when a guest or tenant reports a safety hazard.

We handle premises liability cases in Barrington and throughout the northwest suburbs of Illinois. Contact us as soon as possible so we can preserve evidence and preserve your rights.
Holding Property Owners Responsible For Unsafe Premises
There are several elements to a premises liability claim. First, there must be a dangerous condition that is not open and obvious. Second, there must be serious and lasting injury. Lastly, we must demonstrate that the property owner created a hazardous condition or knew or should have known of the danger.
Our lawyers can explore — at no cost to you — your potential claims if you or a family member was injured on someone else's property from:
- Stair collapse or broken railing
- Deck collapse or other structure collapse
- Missing or broken handrails
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
- Sharp protrusions
- Chemicals or flammable substances
- Uneven pavement or potholes
- Accumulations of ice and snow
- An untended swimming pool
Joseph Lucas and his team conduct a prompt and thorough investigation to establish liability. We take photos of the hazard (if it has not been corrected) and locate witnesses. We obtain maintenance records and research prior complaints, lawsuits or citations. We bring in experts who can identify construction defects and code violations.
