A lawyer says slippery ground means "walker beware". Walkers always assume some risk when they walk on an icy walk way, hey says, but a property owner or landlord may be liable for any damages if they know in advance that an area is dangerous.

Lawyers say some of the responsibility lies with the walker, but owners and landlords play a role too.
