When You Fell on Ice or Snow and Injured Yourself, Was it Because of Someone's Negligence? Ask a Lawyer
Connecticut is subject to extreme weather and conditions in the winter, including snow storms resulting in accumulation of ice and snow. When ice and snow accumulates on a property, property owners owe a duty of care to people visiting the premises to remove and control the hazardous conditions.
After a snowfall, responsible property owners remove the snow from sidewalks and entryways. In any cold weather, it is important for property owners to watch out for frozen pipes and to warn pedestrians of any spillage that freezes and creates a slippery surface.
Even wet puddles inside a building during winter may be a "side effect" of snow and ice outdoors that comes in on people's feet. Building management personnel should be aware of dangerous circumstances and provide non-skid mats on marble floors, for example, to prevent injury.
