The Dangers of Slip and Fall Accidents in Winter Weather: A Plaintiff Attorney’s Guide
Winter in Connecticut increases the risk of slip and fall accidents due to icy sidewalks, snowy walkways, and inadequate snow removal. These accidents often result in serious injuries, such as broken bones, head trauma, and spinal damage, with elderly individuals being particularly vulnerable. Under Connecticut's premises liability laws, property owners must maintain safe conditions by clearing snow and ice promptly. Victims can pursue claims by proving negligence, causation, and damages.
