Every winter, Scalli Murphy Law represents many wonderful people and families needlessly injured because a property owner failed to remove snow, clear walkways, stairs and parking lots or salt or sand icy areas. Broken ankles, legs, elbows or arms are almost a certainty in any slip and fall on snow or ice.
Please protect others this winter by removing snow, treating ice and using reasonable care to make sure no one is injured on your property.
Please also protect yourself by wearing shoes and boots with good grip, watch where you are walking (no text walking) and remember what was water during the day is likely ice at night.
Have a wonderful and safe winter.
