Keep Sidewalks Safe

"🏡❄️ Winter Home Tips with Kevin Fancy from The BIG Insurance Brokerage! ❄️🏡 As the snow blankets our neighborhoods, join me for a discussion on winter home care. We'll explore strategies for managing snow and ice around your property, the importance of keeping those sidewalks clear, and how your home insurance can provide peace of mind in unpredictable weather. Let's navigate winter together! Check out Kevin's expertise at www.thebig.ca/kevin-fancy.

Be neighbourly and keep your sidewalks safe this winter, it could save you from a fine or lawsuit! As a homeowner, making snowy and icy sidewalks safe for the public should always be a priority. This is important to prevent anyone from injuring themselves in a fall. It is best to shovel snow soon after it has fallen, and covering the sidewalks in salt before ice starts to form. Municipalities have different rules and regulations for the clearing of snow and ice, but homeowners should be aware that they can be liable should an injury occur on or in front of their property.

Icy roads? Who’s at fault?

Driving in wintry conditions can be hazardous, no matter how slow you may be driving. If your car slides on an icy road and hits a stationary object or vehicle, the general rule is that the person who is in control of the moving vehicle is the one at fault if they hit a stationary object or other car.

If this happens to you and the damage is minimal, it may be best to pay for the repairs yourself rather than make an insurance claim for two reasons:

1. You would have to pay your collision deductible is you were at-fault.
2. An at-fault collision on your driving record could cause your premium to increase.

If you estimate the damage is bad and would cost more than your deductible, you can call our 24/7 claims line any time to make a claim at 1-866-670-0905.

Follow these tips to avoid a collision and drive safely in icy and snowy road conditions:

🌨️ Install winter tires to give you better traction in slippery conditions.
🌨️ Ensure clear visibility; remove all ice and snow from sight lines on your vehicle.
🌨️ Stay calm in slippery conditions and never slam on your brakes. Instead pump on the brakes or rely on your vehicles anti-lock braking system (ABS).
🌨️ Keep a safe distance from vehicles around you and drive slowly.
🌨️ See and be seen by turning your lights on and regularly checking mirrors and blind spots.
🌨️ Stay on main roads and avoid driving in very bad road conditions if you can.
