Personal Injury, Ice and Snow

It's every courteous community neighbor's duty to remove snow, sleet, or ice from sidewalks near homes or businesses. Where winter snows customarily cover walks and roads, local ordinances usually require removal within hours.

A Fatal Slip on Ice 

A woman broke her ankle when she slipped and fell on ice in an apartment complex parking lot. She died two months later from a blood clot resulting from the fractured ankle. She was survived by three minor and three grown children. Her estate's lawyer successfully sued the property's owners for failure to clear the snow-which turned to ice-from the parking lot.
