NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Even though we traditionally think of hazardous roads, sidewalks can also be dangerous with this winter weather.
So are you responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of your home?
In Davidson County, there is an ordinance on the books putting the responsibility on the homeowner. So what if someone slips and falls on your sidewalk?
I talked to a personal injury lawyer about the issue. He said if there's an ordinance or your HOA by-laws require it -- do it.
But he says otherwise, it's a gray area.
If someone slips and falls on your sidewalk they will have to prove you were negligent and created a hazard.
Kelsey Gibbs brings us a powerful story of humanity, compassion, and love in action while showing us the hard and lifesaving work our officers do daily. Nashville is lucky to have people like Lt. Hotz wearing the badge.
