Premises Liability and Icy Conditions
As the weather starts to get colder there is a dramatic increase in the risk of slip and fall accidents. Even if you are taking extra precautions and being mindful of snowy or icy conditions, accidents can still happen. This is especially true if the property you experience the accident at has not taken proper steps to ensure a decrease in risk. If you have experienced an accident on someone else’s property, it can be not only traumatic physically, but mentally as well, since you may now be faced with medical bills and may no longer be able to work. To help navigate this troubling time it is best practice to contact a personal injury attorney that specializes in premises liability cases.
Weather related slip and fall accidents often occur in parking lots, sidewalks, or walkways. They can also occur on a homeowner’s property. Regardless of where the accident occurs, it is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure the property is inspected periodically and that any snow or ice is removed or remediated in a timely and consistent fashion. If this is not done and an accident occurs, this can result in the property owner being found negligent.
Your Premises Liability Attorney will help to determine if you are eligible for compensation due to a slip and fall accident.
