Winter Storms Spark Legal Warnings as Lawyers Share Safety Tips
Severe winter storms have placed nearly half the U.S. population under weather warnings. As icy conditions raise safety concerns, two New Jersey personal injury lawyers have shared advice on preventing accidents and understanding legal rights. Their guidance covers slip-and-fall risks, road hazards, and the importance of acting quickly after an injury.
In January 2026, Jeffrey Berg, a personal injury lawyer in New Jersey, published an article on winter safety. He highlighted the rights of accident victims and offered tips for avoiding slip-and-fall incidents on icy surfaces. Road safety during freezing conditions was also a key focus.
Around the same time, Michael J. Epstein, founder of The Epstein Law Firm, provided similar advice. As a specialist in negligence cases, he stressed that winter injuries—even seemingly minor ones—can lead to long-term harm. Both attorneys warned that delayed action, especially in cases involving municipalities, could jeopardise legal claims due to strict filing deadlines. The lawyers also clarified legal responsibilities. Property owners and local authorities must keep walkways and roads safe during winter. Failure to do so, such as neglecting snow removal or improperly operating winter equipment, can result in serious injuries and potential liability.
With winter storms affecting millions, the attorneys’ advice aims to reduce accidents and ensure victims know their rights. Property owners and municipalities face legal obligations to prevent hazards. Those injured in winter incidents are urged to seek help promptly to protect their claims.
