Chicago Negligence Lawyers

Negligence is defined under the law as the failure to act in a reasonably careful way considering the circumstances. When someone fails to use reasonable care and causes injury to you or your family you have the right to be fairly compensated.

Negligence can occur in a variety of situations. Landlords, business owners, bus drivers can all be guilty of negligence. In fact, almost everyone in society can be guilty of negligence. In determining whether someone has acted negligently, one of the first steps is to ask whether the other person acted unreasonably. If they did act unreasonably and if they have injured you as a result, you may have a legal case against them for money damages.
