St. Louis Lawyers: Slip-and-Fall Injuries in Ice and Snow
Along with cold weather, the onset of winter in St. Louis, Missouri and Southern Illinois ushers in ice storms and snowfall. Landlords, property owners, property managers, municipalities and other government entities are responsible for keeping their premises safe for pedestrians and motorists. Those who fail to clear ice and snow within a reasonable time may be liable for any injuries or damages suffered as a result of the slippery, dangerous conditions.
A property owner may be liable for accidents that occur in such areas as:
- Snowy parking lots
- Icy stairs
- Slick streets
- Slippery sidewalks
The experienced St. Louis lawyers at Kolker & Germeroth know how to handle slip and fall injuries in ice and snow. When a property owner fails to shovel, plow, salt or sand the area affected by ice or snow, a visitor may be entitled to compensation for injuries, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering and lost wages.
It is crucial for anyone who has sustained injury by slipping and falling on ice and snow to contact an attorney immediately. Because snow and ice may melt or be removed after an accident, it is important that an investigation be started at once to assess the condition of the property.
