Gerry's Video Made The New York Times Blog!

Posted on Feb 22, 2010

The other day when I opened up my e-mail, and I saw a Google alert with the title "When Black Ice Strikes, Who is to Blame?" I was confused when I noticed my name was attached to the title and the website URL was from the New York Times online blog. I knew I hadn't created an article or video with that title, so I clicked on the link to the New York Times and was pleasantly surprised.

The writer, J. David Goodman was writing about how black ice affects people in New York City. In the article he mentioned one of the videos I made involving a woman I represented who slipped and fell in a parking lot on black ice. The key question I raised in the video was who is to blame if you slip and fall and suffer injuries on ice or snow? The answer is never clear cut.

There is always the issue of who was responsible for maintaining and cleaning that part of the property. Sometimes it's a property owner, sometimes it's a municipality, and oftentimes it is a snow plow company that is hired to keep the sidewalk or property clear of snow and ice.

I have written extensively about slip and fall cases on snow and ice and those articles appear here on my website and in video tips on my New York personal injury video blog. If you have legal questions about a slip and fall on snow or ice, I encourage you to pick up the phone and call me or e-mail me since I can answer your legal questions. You can reach me at 516-487-8207 or by e-mail at lawmed10@yahoo.com. I welcome your call.
