Paramedic Slipped and Fell In Driveway While Responding to Emergency

The failure to maintain a residential driveway in the wintertime resulted in a painful injury to an ambulance paramedic. The elderly home owner had not treated the ice and snow in the driveway for several days. One evening, she called 911 due to an emergency. On arrival, the paramedic slipped on ice in the driveway. The insurance company of the homeowner paid for the homeowner's failure to maintain the driveway in a safe condition resulting in the significant hand and wrist injury.
