In Chicago, we know the cold winters all too well. But snow and ice are hazardous conditions that we can only do so much to protect ourselves, whether we are in a car or walking. But especially for those walking, there should be precautions that property owners must take to make sure that people are not put in immediate danger by these conditions. If you or a loved one has been injured in a snow or ice slip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property, contact an attorney at Mike Agruss Law to help you resolve your case and compensate you for your damages.
As the cold winter months approach, snow and ice in Illinois is bound to build up and create dangerous conditions for everyone on foot. To mention a couple of solutions, we can mitigate some of the risks of walking on snow and ice by salting and snow plowing the roads and sidewalks. As a property owner, one should always be aware of the weather conditions and preparing accordingly. They have a duty of care owed to their customers or guests to keep them safe and protected. Premises liability laws aim to protect any people on someone else’s property (besides undiscovered trespassers) by allowing them the right to sue the property owner if they are injured on the premises.
A slip and fall on snow or ice can be very dangerous, and especially to the elderly. Most of the time, falling on snow or ice means falling on hard or concrete ground, which can be deadly for that age group. Otherwise, slip and falls can result in broken or fractured bones, concussions, traumatic brain injury, bruising, and more. A successful case can cover the large medical expenditures that you have to make to treat the injuries that they caused. You should just be able to prove that they breached their duty of care to you which caused your injuries, and you suffered damages from those injuries.
