Potential Liable Parties in Winter Slip and Falls

• Head trauma – concussion, open head wound, skull fracture, traumatic brain injury
• Upper extremity injuries – shoulder injuries, shoulder fractures, rotator cuff tears, clavicle fracture, elbow dislocation, wrist, hand, and finger injuries
• Lower extremity injuries – dislocated hip, femoral head fracture, pelvic fracture, knee and ligament injuries, broken leg, fractured ankle, and feet injuries

If snow or ice is left on walkways around office buildings, apartment complexes, supermarkets, or stores, and it results in a fall injury, there are a number of parties potentially liable, including:

• Employer
• Property management company
• Apartment landlord
• Maintenance company
• City

While everyone has a duty to walk carefully and watch where they are going, property owners have a duty of care to maintain the premises for their tenants, employees, and guests.
