Slip/fall on Black Ice!

Please use caution when walking your pet.  I slipped and fell on black ice last year. I still have the remnants of vertigo and I am petrified of falling.  This may sound silly, but carry a flashlight to guide you safely across black ice.

The black ice is shiny and its surface can be more easily discerned by a light shining on it. Ice melts and refreezes. This creates a seriously dangerous condition. Please take photos of the scene, take names and telephone numbers of witnesses.  Call 911! I struck the back of my head and luckily only ended with vertigo versus a cracked skull.  In any event, the property owner has, what is called: a nondelegable duty to keep the premises safe.

This means the property owner, property manager and the snow removal company are all possible defendants; but the owner is most responsible for failure to keep the property safe for the public and tenants and visitors.
