living in such a compact area we have too. if someone slips and falls, we could get sued too....so better off shoveling. walking is a bigger thing here than driving...so keeping sidewalks clean is a must....
I don't care to have a law that says that you have to, but yes, I can see someone suing these days if they fall in front of your house. I clear mine with that thought in mind, plus it's just being a good neighbor.
when i was younger, i slipped and sprained my wrist cuz the occupants of this one corner 3 family house never shoveled, or cleaned their sidewalk. We went to an attorney...he said taht if I did break my wrist, it wouldve been an ez win, but with only a sprain and no medical record of it...it would just get tied up in court, and the chances of winning was next to nil....
DOT fined them, and ordered them to clean up their part of the sidewalk......
suffice to say, after that, that corner was always nice and clean.
so...now i always make it a point to keep our sidewalk clean.....
we only rent but if there was a lawsuit...the we would end up paying for it too since the rent would more than likely go up......
besides it's pretty good excercise....
