Call Selby Legal for help with your Winter Weather Slip and Fall Injury
Winter can be beautiful, but it also brings dangerous conditions that lead to serious injuries. If you’ve slipped and fallen on ice or snow, you may be entitled to compensation. At Selby Legal PLLC, we specialize in helping accident victims navigate the legal system to get the justice they deserve.
Led by George C. Selby, Esq., our firm provides personalized attention and expert legal representation, ensuring that your case isn’t just another file in a large, impersonal law office. Here’s why choosing a small firm like ours is the best decision for your slip and fall case.
Why Ice and Snow Can Be a Legal Liability
Property owners, including homeowners, landlords, and businesses, have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe. In the winter, this includes removing snow and ice in a timely manner and ensuring that walking surfaces remain free of hazards.
If a property owner fails to clear their sidewalks, driveways, or parking lots and someone slips and falls as a result, they can be held liable for the injuries. However, these cases are often complex, as different states and municipalities have varying regulations regarding snow removal and premises liability.
Does Homeowner’s Insurance Cover Slip and Fall Injuries?
Many people don’t realize that homeowners’ insurance policies often cover slip and fall injuries that occur on their property. If you’ve been injured on someone else’s icy walkway or driveway, their insurance may be responsible for covering your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
However, insurance companies often try to deny or minimize claims, arguing that the injured party was partially at fault or that the homeowner had no reasonable opportunity to clear the ice. This is where having an experienced lawyer is essential.

What to Do If You’ve Been Injured in a Slip and Fall on Ice
If you’ve slipped and fallen due to negligently maintained snow or ice, here’s what you should do:
✅ Document the scene – Take photos or videos of the icy conditions before they’re removed.
✅ Seek medical attention – Even if you feel okay, injuries can worsen over time.
✅ Get witness information – If anyone saw your fall, their statement can help your case.
✅ Report the incident – Notify the property owner, landlord, or business manager.
✅ Contact Selby Legal PLLC – The sooner you reach out, the stronger your case will be.
