Falling Injuries Resulting From Failure to Clear Snow or Ice
Western New York residents are accustomed to the challenges of snow and ice. But a property owner's failure to maintain reasonably safe conditions by not clearing snow and ice can create serious hazards and result in harm to the unfortunate person who slips and falls.
At the Buffalo area law office of Sarles, Frey & Joseph in Williamsville, our attorneys represent people across the region in personal injury cases involving premises liability. We serve clients facing a wide range of injuries and financial challenges. Whether you are permanently disabled or out of work for a few weeks, we can help you pursue the financial support you need.
Hazardous Premises Caused by Snow and Ice
Falling accident injuries resulting from hazardous snow and ice conditions can happen indoors as well as outdoors. For example, if a grocery store fails to clean up melting snow that pools on a slippery floor and you fall and injure yourself, the owners may have been negligent. Similarly, you should speak with our lawyers if the entrance to your apartment building is insufficiently lit and you slip on ice you could not see.
We represent clients who have suffered various slip, trip or fall injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Back or neck injuries
- Torn muscles, tendons or ligaments
- Injured joints
- Rotator cuff or other shoulder injuries
- Nerve damage
- Soft tissue injuries, such as serious bruising or whiplash
Whether a private property owner, such as a neighbor, failed to maintain a safe premises or you were injured in a public location such as a parking lot, you have the right to seek compensation from that the owner's insurance policy and other sources. We can help you understand your rights and demand fair treatment.
