The sidewalks are icy. Is it your job to scrape it?

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.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
