How a Case Develops After a Slip-and-Fall Due to Snow or Ice
Most slip-and-falls due to ice or snow are the result of property owners’ negligence. They fail to clear the snow from the sidewalk in front of their buildings or do a poor job of clearing the snow or ice, making sidewalks hazardous. Both the city and private property owners are required by law to keep their sidewalks free of ice and snow. Our attorneys will review the circumstances of your fall and identify the responsible party.
We also consult with your doctors and other medical specialists when needed to determine the extent of your injuries and impact on your life. This allows us to appreciate the specific impact of injury on your life, so as to help us obtain maximum compensation for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and for out-of-pocket losses associated with medical bills and lost wages.
