Injured in a slip, trip, or fall?

A single hazard, whether from a cracked sidewalk, a missing sign, or even an unmarked spill, can cause life-changing injuries. Bret Franco knows how to prove a property owner's negligence.

Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome with respect to any future case. Each case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances.

You didn't create the hazard. You shouldn't pay for it.

Slip, trip, and fall accidents happen on sidewalks, in stores, at apartment buildings, and on private property throughout Chicago, whether it's a cracked stoop in Logan Square, a slick grocery store floor downtown, or an icy parking lot after a heavy winter storm has just rolled through the whole area.

Most of these incidents happen because an owner failed to fix a known hazard, ignored basic maintenance, or overlooked a dangerous condition that a reasonable routine inspection would have easily caught long before someone got seriously hurt on the property itself.

Bret Franco's defense-side experience means he's seen firsthand how property owners and their insurers argue a hazard was open and obvious to avoid paying a claim. He knows exactly how to counter that defense in negotiations and, when necessary, at trial.
