Snow and Ice

Winter is here. Not every fall on snow or ice can result in a legal claim. Claims for slip and fall injuries and premises liability are filled with complicated legal issues. For example, a business does not have to remove snow or ice until a reasonable time has passed after the precipitation has stopped. Also, in any Virginia case, the injured party has to be able to show that there was no act or omission on his/her part that contributed to the fall. So always take extra precautions such as watching where you step and choosing the safest possible route.
