Snow Removal Expert Witness
Every year the weather experts predict what kind of winter is coming and every year we follow their prophesies with skepticism. We find it’s best to plan for a cold and snow winter every year, so top Snow Removal Expert always ready.
2019 looks like it will go down in the record books as one of the coldest and snowiest ever, and we are grateful we’ve had the equipment and the manpower to handle it.
Every year, we’re concerned when small and even mid-size commercial property owners try to remove large amounts of snow from their parking lots themselves or hire someone who lacks the proper skills and equipment for the job.
We don’t mind losing an account to a competitor, but we don’t like to see people have accidents and even injure themselves or others.
We observed someone bolt a snow blade to the front of a Nissan Sentra and then proceed to slide into 4 cars and cause serious damage. Then the “snowplow” got stuck in a ditch.
When snow gets as heavy as it has this year, we often see cars completely buried—so much that you can’t see them at all. Someone could be inside, so it’s crucial to proceed with extreme caution to avoid hurting anyone.
Amateur snow plow drivers have also crashed into utility equipment from cable TV to electrical to natural gas valves. These are dangerous situations and are very expensive to repair.
Before every commercial snow removal job, crews should thoroughly inspect the property for hazards while the weather is clear to help prevent accidents after heavy snowfall.
