WINTER WEATHER LIABILITIES

were trying to avoid. Also, much like the lease agreement
with a residential tenant, it is important to specify the
conditions and time constraints for removal in writing.
When contracting any type of service, it is essential to have a
written contract that will guarantee you receive the services
you pay for.
It should be noted that hiring a removal service does not
absolve you of liability. If the company you hire provides
poor service, or does not show up at all, you are still the
party responsible for any injury resulting from a winter
hazard. Make sure to pick a reputable company that you can
trust to do a good job, and always have a plan of action for
removal if they are unable to complete the work as quickly or
effectively as you require.
