What Can You Do to Help Prevent a Winter Slip-and-Fall?
To avoid an icy fall, take extra precautions during the winter months. Make sure you have the right footwear, with soles that improve traction on slippery surfaces. Choose less hazardous routes, and pay attention to the area where you are walking. Do not rush on snow and ice – allow plenty of time, take smaller steps, and walk more slowly than you would if walkways were dry.
Who Is Responsible for Clearing Snow and Ice – the City or the Property Owner?
In Fort Collins, residential property owners are required to remove snow and ice from public sidewalks adjacent to their property within 24 hours of snowfall, as mandated by the City. This ordinance is enforced by Code Compliance Inspectors, who will hire contractors to remove the snow, if necessary, at the property owner’s expense. The City is responsible for removing snow from the downtown area, and from city streets and bike lanes. The City will shovel sidewalks and driveways covered by snowplowing after residents have cleared them, at the property owner’s request.
In Colorado, property owners are responsible for maintaining their property in a reasonably safe condition for visitors. When a slip-and-fall accident occurs on a snowy or icy walkway that should have been cleared, the property owner may be held liable.
At the Tenge Law Firm LLC, we feel a profound responsibility to ensure our client’s physical and emotional well being during one of the worst times of their life. We've put together a page of resources to help you gain legal expertise and education about the law.
Do You Need a Lawyer for a Winter Slip-and-Fall Accident?
If you have been seriously injured in a fall, it is in your best interests to speak with a Fort Collins premises liability attorney as soon as possible. Your damages may be significant, including past and future medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Insurance companies are in business for profit, and they will try to minimize the value of your settlement. Your best chance of recovering full compensation is to have an experienced lawyer represent you.
