To determine liability for slips and falls on snow and ice, Illinois follows what is known as the unnatural accumulation of snow and ice rule. In order for there to be liability for a fall on ice or snow, the ice or snow that made you fall must be an unnatural accumulation of ice or snow. If it is a natural accumulation of ice or snow, there is no liability. The dividing line between what is considered a natural accumulation of snow and ice and what is considered an unnatural accumulation of snow ice is many times a blurry one, even for experienced Illinois personal injury lawyers who have handled many cases involving slips and falls on snow and ice.
Basically, what it comes down to is this: the snow and ice is considered a natural accumulation if it is the result of natural weather conditions. This means that if the basis of your case is that the snow and/or ice was not shoveled or salted, there is no liability for the property owner. Going a step further, the law still considers ice which has been formed by snow being tamped down by pedestrian or vehicular traffic to be a natural accumulation of snow and ice. It also considers puddles of water inside of buildings resulting from pedestrians tracking in snow that melted to be a natural accumulation of snow.
And that's from an ambulance chaser.To us, it is the BEAST.
