Winter is Here and Raphael Barristers Wants to Remind People that With Snow Comes Slip and Falls
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) November 29, 2014 -- Raphael Barristers, a personal injury law firm, warns residents about the dangers of the snow and ice this winter. Snow and ice can be fun for the kids to play on, but as adults, the blustery, wintery conditions can serve as a hazard, resulting in a slip and fall accident. Even when sidewalks seem clear, the danger of slipping and falling could be lurking with ice that is hidden underneath a small layer of snow or unable to be recognized in the dark of night.
Canadians need to prepare for the harsh winter ahead by taking the necessary steps to protect the sidewalks and streets in front of homes and businesses. In addition, wearing the right gear and allowing a few extra minutes to get to a destination can help to diminish the risk of unnecessary slips and falls on snow and ice. The holiday season naturally brings with it a hustle and bustle as the season becomes busier and busier. Consumers are out hitting the stores and everyone is in a rush to get to work when traffic is at its peak and tempers are flaring. Anyone is at risk for falling on snow and ice, whether kids, young adults or seniors. Everyone needs to take care to watch out for the conditions and help others get through the ice and snow with care.
Raphael Barristers have seen hundreds of cases involving slipping and falling on ice and snow due to the negligence of home and business owners. It is a requirement as well as common courtesy to ensure that every public walkway, parking lot and entrance is clear of snow and ice to ensure the safety of visitors of homes and customers of businesses. When everyone works together, the incidents of slipping and falling on snow and ice can be minimized.
