Shoveling snow is a common winter task that carries risks such as slips, falls, and even injury from overexertion. Poor snow removal can also lead to liability if walkways are not properly cleared. Murphy Insurance provides practical tips to help reduce risk, prevent accidents, and maintain safe conditions during winter weather.
Winter is underway and we’ve already had the first snow fall of the season. If you own residential or commercial property, it’s essential to understand your legal responsibilities regarding snow removal. The state you live in has laws that dictate snow removal and in many cases, your city or town may have local ordinances or by-laws that further define snow and ice removal responsibilities.
