5 Tips to Avoid a Winter Slip & Fall in Pennsylvania

Posted on Jan 28, 2012

In a report from Go Erie, winter weather in Pennsylvania can keep emergency rooms busy with serious injuries resulting from a slip and fall. Some of the injuries that are more common include fractured wrists, back pain, and head injuries.

Here are 5 tips that can help you avoid becoming the victim of a winter slip and fall in Pennsylvania:

wear appropriate footwear (such as nonslip or neoprene soles);
keep walkways clear of any ice or snow;
be cautious and alert while walking;
older adults should use a cane or walker; and
try to break your fall if you can (which can prevent more severe injuries).

Although you can make every effort possible to avoid a slip and fall, there is still the chance that the negligence of another could lead to one. If an owner fails to maintain their property or fails to correct a hazardous condition, they could be held liable.

To learn if you have a legitimate case worth pursuing, you should consult immediately with a Pennsylvania slip and fall attorney. An attorney will:

examine the details of your case;
determine if someone else may potentially be held liable; and
explain what your next step should be.
