Who Is Liable for Winter Slip-and-Fall Accidents?

Property owners in Colorado have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. Cities have varying rules regarding snow and ice removal. In Boulder, property owners or occupants are responsible for their own snow removal and may be subject to a fine if they fail to do it within 24 hours of a snowfall. If a city snowplow pushes snow back onto the sidewalk, property owners have a responsibility to remove it. A property owner who knows that snow and ice are present on the property and fails to remove the hazard within a reasonable length of time may be held liable for resulting accidents and injuries.
