Bergen County Snow and Ice Injury Attorneys
Failure to clear walkways in a reasonable time is considered negligence under New Jersey's premises liability law. But it is not enough to simply shovel snow after a storm. If the ownership or management does an inadequate job, the snow can melt and re-freeze into patches of black ice, which are even more dangerous. Thus, many of the worst injuries occur not on the day of a storm but a day or two later.
We investigate swiftly to capture photos of the unsafe condition and talk to witnesses or other people who slipped. We work to document negligence such as:
- Failure to clear snow or ice from walkways and steps
- Failure to cover the shoveled walk with salt/sand
- Piling snow in a negligent manner
- Slippery puddles of melted snow in entryways
- Failing to create safe passage for disabled persons within 48 hours of snowfall under New Jersey's Snow Removal Law
