Who’s responsible for injuries someone else caused on your property? Take the example of a leaking sprinkler. They are common enough that we may not even give them a second thought, but they can actually pose real safety risks. Even if they’re not on your property, they can create hazards that directly affect you, including slip and fall risks from water pooling on sidewalks or flooding basements, for example.
There are many other situations in which a neighbor’s negligence may have direct impacts on your health. Badly-maintained fences or walls may fall over and injure someone. Old, dying trees may fall on houses in a storm, causing serious injuries and property damage. If you or someone in your family was hurt because of a neighbor’s negligence in 2026, our Rolling Meadows personal injury attorneys can help you figure out who should be held responsible for your losses.
