After a particularly snowy winter, we’re sure many of our readers are welcoming the spring weather, rain or shine. But for those recovering from slipping and falling on ice, the pains of last season are still very real. Whether you’re still recovering from your injuries or struggling to cover medical costs from your fall, it’s important to consider who bears the fault for this accident. If your slip occurred on someone else’s property, here are some things you should consider. Being experienced personal injury lawyers in Kansas City, we know there’s a lot of confusion over how liability for falls caused by ice and snow is determined in Kansas and Missouri. While the weather may not be that different across state lines, the laws certainly are. Here’s an overview of how premises liability concerning snow and ice is treated by each state. LIABILITY STATE BY STATE
naturally. Thus, if you fell on a property where nothing has been done to clear the winter buildup, the owners are not considered at fault. However, this changes as soon as any plowing, shoveling, or salting occurs. Under Missouri law, once a home or business owner begins the process to clear ice and snow, they are then responsible for doing a thorough job. If part of a parking lot is left unplowed, or if they fail to salt afterward, the property owner is then liable for injuries caused by snow and ice. While Kansas law does require property owners to keep their walkways and parking lots shoveled, they don’t expect them to do so during a blizzard. The state operates under what’s known as the “winter storm doctrine,” which allows home and business owners some leeway during and after winter storms. Thus, if you’re out walking around on someone else’s property during storm conditions, you do so at your own risk. KANSAS MAKES ROOM FOR STORMS
