Slippery conditions due to snow and ice are common hazards in Western New York in winter.
If you’re injured after falling on ice or snow on a property that you don’t own, and the area was not plowed or salted, you might be entitled to compensation.
In New York, you must prove 1) The owner knew or should’ve known about the icy or snowy condition and 2) The owner did not take action within a reasonable time to remedy, warn or remove the icy or snowy condition.
After a fall, you should take a photo of where you fell and seek medical treatment immediately.
How to prove that the owner knew or should’ve known about the icy or snowy condition:
- The thickness of the ice or snow
- Snow plowing and ice removal records
- Weather reports
- Areas that are prone to ice or snow accumulation
If you’re seriously injured after falling on ice or snow, make the RIGHT choice. Call the John Wright Law Firm.
