How BIG A Defect Do You Need In a Sidewalk Fall Down Case? [BJP #135] [Call 312-500-4500]

Chicago fall down lawyer

How big a sidewalk defect do you need to win a fall down injury case?

There is a egal rule called "de minimus" which requires a defect in Illinois to be more than an inch and a half or two inches tall. If it defect is smaller than that, you run the risk of the Judge throwing your case out of Court.

The reason why is that landlords cannot be held to keep their property in 100% perfect condition at all times.

But, there are definitely circumstances where even smaller defects can give rise to a good law suit and calim for personal injuries.

Lawyers will investigate a case and see if they can come up with a theory of liability that may not be obviuous at first So always talk to a lawyer and get a free consultation if you have been injured.
