Can You Afford the Risk of a Slip-and-Fall Lawsuit?
Each winter, businesses face a serious financial risk from slip-and-fall accidents, with lawsuits averaging between $10,000 and $100,000. Don’t let snow and ice put your business in jeopardy. Protect your customers, employees, and your bottom line with proactive winter safety.
The Solution: Comprehensive Winter Response
A winter storm can disrupt your business operations for days—or even weeks—leading to significant costs and lost productivity. In the Pacific Northwest, where winters are notoriously unpredictable, it’s essential to plan ahead. Storms can strike unexpectedly, frost and ice form overnight, and many businesses find themselves scrambling for snow and ice removal services at the last minute.
At MSNW, we offer a robust Winter Risk Mitigation Program, designed to minimize your liability and keep your property safe all season long. Our program leverages expert planning, advanced technology, and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure a safe environment during even the harshest winter weather. From pre-season walkthroughs to real-time weather monitoring and rapid anti-icing response, we provide full-service protection for your business.
How We Help Defend Against Slip-and-Fall Lawsuits
Winter Response Plan
Be prepared before the snow falls. We provide a defendable, detailed plan tailored to your site to ensure quick, effective action when winter hits.
Site Engineering & Pre-Season Documentation
Our experts create custom site maps and operational plans to streamline snow and ice removal. We also stake snow removal zones and prepare detailed documentation, ensuring you’re ready before the winter season begins.
In-Season Documentation
Maintaining accurate documentation is crucial for defending against potential lawsuits. We track every service and provide the following:
- GPS clock-ins and material usage data for real-time tracking of anti-icing and snow removal services.
- Photo documentation proving that your property was serviced, leaving no room for doubt.
- Certified weather reports to validate site conditions and further strengthen your defense.
Proven Legal Defense
Our meticulous records have helped clients successfully defend against slip-and-fall lawsuits. By documenting every step of your winter maintenance plan, we demonstrate that you’ve taken every precaution to mitigate risk and keep your site safe.
Anti-Icing
Anti-icing is the first line of defense in a winter storm. Applied before snow or ice forms, it prevents ice buildup and is a sign of your commitment to safety. Taking proactive anti-icing measures is crucial—not only does it help keep your property clear of dangerous ice, but it also strengthens your defense in the event of an accident. Regular anti-icing demonstrates diligence in preventing hazards, reducing your liability, and protecting your business from potential negligence claims.
So, why do we include anti-icing in our Winter Response Plan? Because it saves on materials, time, and hassle—while safeguarding your business and community from winter hazards. When we dispatch to your site ahead of freezing temperatures, your property is more prepared during a storm, giving you the peace of mind you deserve.
Why Take the Risk?
Developing a winter plan is a good business practice. Without a winter response plan and anti-icing services, your business is exposed to increased risk of accidents—and potentially devastating lawsuits. With MSNW’s Winter Risk Mitigation Program, you can rest easy knowing that your property is as safe as possible, and your business is protected.
