Why Cronauer Law
The attorneys who prove owners knew, and did nothing.
Premises cases turn on notice: did the owner know, or should they have known, about the hazard. We gather the evidence that proves it before it disappears.
We prove the owner's negligence.
Incident reports, maintenance logs, and surveillance footage tell the real story. We move fast to preserve the evidence that proves the owner was at fault.
We document the full injury.
Falls cause fractures, head injuries, and lasting harm. We prove the true medical picture and everything your recovery will cost.
Trial-ready against businesses and insurers.
Property insurers blame the victim by default. Our verdicts show we're ready to prove them wrong in front of a jury.
Zero risk to you.
Free consultation. No upfront cost. Our fee comes from the recovery, only if we win.

What You Can Recover
Damages aren’t just medical bills.
Most injury victims underestimate what they’re owed, and adjusters count on that. We document, calculate, and demand every category of damages. The first offer is almost never the real number.
Medical bills
Past, present, and future medical expenses: emergency room, surgery, rehab, therapy, prescriptions, assistive devices.
Lost wages & earning capacity
Time off work, reduced hours, and the future income you can no longer earn because of your injuries.
Pain & suffering
Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the impact on your relationships.
Property & out-of-pocket loss
Cost to repair or replace damaged property, plus the everyday expenses your injury forced you to take on.
Future care
Long-term medical care, assistive equipment, in-home help, and modifications to your home or vehicle.
Punitive damages
When the at-fault party acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, extra damages may be awarded.
How It Works
Three steps. No surprises.
Step 01
Free Phone Call
Tell us what happened. We listen, answer your questions, and tell you honestly whether you have a case. No obligation, no pressure.
Step 02
We Build Your Case
We investigate, gather evidence, line up experts, deal with the insurance company, and document every dollar of your damages.
Step 03
We Win Your Case
Most cases settle once the evidence is undeniable. When the insurance company won't pay full value, we take them to trial, and we have the verdicts to show for it. You owe us nothing unless we win.
FAQ
Slip & fall and premises questions, answered.
When is a property owner responsible for my injury?
An owner can be liable when they knew or should have known about a dangerous condition, failed to fix it or warn about it, and that hazard caused your injury. Proving the owner's knowledge is the heart of these cases, and it's where evidence matters most.
What should I do after a slip and fall?
Report the incident to the property owner or manager, get photos of the hazard, collect witness information, seek medical attention, and keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing. Then call us before giving any statement to the property's insurer.
What if I was partly at fault?
Illinois uses modified comparative negligence. As long as you're less than 51% at fault, you can still recover, with your damages reduced by your share of fault. Owners often exaggerate the victim's fault, so don't assume you have no case.
How long do I have to file in Illinois?
Most Illinois premises liability claims must be filed within two years, with shorter deadlines for claims against government entities. Surveillance footage can be erased within days, so contact us right away.
How much is my premises liability case worth?
It depends on the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost income, and the strength of the evidence. We give an honest assessment after reviewing the facts, never an inflated promise.
How much does it cost to hire Cronauer Law?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, only if we win. The initial consultation is always free.
Don’t wait
Don't let a property owner off the hook.
Every day you wait, evidence disappears and your case gets weaker. The consultation is free. The advice is honest. The fight is ours.
