If you're one of the millions of Americans that live in an area that has freezing weather during the winter months, you know how dangerous walking on ice can be. It's a fact of life that after a rain or snowfall, ice will amass on sidewalks, porches, parking lots, and other areas where there is foot traffic. While most property owners understand this and, as such, know they have a responsibility to keep visitors safe from danger, sometimes people don't take care of their property as they should, which can lead to injuries.
If you're asking, "can you sue a business for slipping on ice," you've likely already experienced a slip-and-fall accident due to ice. Generally, to have a successful claim, you have to demonstrate that the property owner was negligent, resulting in your injuries. If you can do this, you may have grounds to sue them for compensation. The personal injury lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are here to help.
