With the recent week's New York snow still and ice still coating sidewalks and city street curbs, most New York pedestrians know to watch out for black ice, icy steps, and other
slip and fall dangers. But
NY personal injury lawyers admit that New Yorkers can enjoy the snow too, with outdoor snow activities including skiing, sledding and snow-mobiling. According to the
NY State Department of Labor, NY hosts more ski locations than any other state. With that comes the risk of head injuries, sport-related slip and fall, collision and other personal injury, according to a recent
public safety warning. To prevent a ski injury,
New York personal injury lawyers warn skiers to ski under control, look ahead, and exercises caution while boarding and traveling on ski lifts. Other folks may choose snow-mobiling as a fun, winter sport, This too requires an eye on off-road motor vehicle safety. According to a
recent editorial, the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission documents that the most common snowmobile injuries result from collision with dangerous conditions, such as wires, other vehicles and trees. To prevent a NY personal injury on a snowmobile, ride with a buddy, and stay clear from frozen bodies of water or unfamiliar territory. In short, enjoy the snow, but be careful!
