Does the property need compensation if I slip and fall on a snowy day?

If the property management company fails to fulfill its reasonable safety obligations, such as failing to clear the snow in a timely manner or take anti-slip measures, causing residents or visitors to slip and fall, the property management company may need to bear corresponding liability for compensation. However, if the fall was caused by an individual's negligence or intentional conduct, the property management company may not be held liable.

On snowy days, falling accidents are easy to occur due to the slippery ground. So, when we slip and fall in a residential area or commercial area, does the property management company need to bear liability for compensation?

First of all, we need to clarify the responsibilities of the property company. According to the "Property Management Regulations", the property company shall be responsible for maintaining public order and environmental sanitation in the property area, taking necessary safety precautions, and preventing and handling emergencies. This means that property management companies should promptly clear the snow on snowy days and take anti-slip measures to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.

Secondly, we need to analyze the specific causes of fall accidents. If the fall injury is caused by the property management company failing to fulfill its safety obligations, such as failing to clear the snow in a timely manner or failing to set up warning signs, etc., then the property management company should bear the corresponding liability for compensation. However, if the fall is caused by personal negligence or intentional behavior, such as improper dressing, walking too fast, etc., then the property company may not be liable for compensation.

Finally, we need to consider the legal basis. According to Article 37 of the Tort Liability Law of the People’s Republic of China: “Managers of hotels, shopping malls, banks, stations, entertainment venues and other public places or organizers of mass activities who fail to fulfill their obligations shall If the property management company fails to fulfill its safety protection obligations and causes damage to others, it shall bear tort liability. Therefore, if the property management company fails to fulfill its safety protection obligations and causes a resident or visitor to slip and fall, the property management company shall bear corresponding liability for compensation.

In summary: After a slip and fall on a snowy day, whether the property management company needs to compensate depends on the specific circumstances. If the property management company fails to fulfill its reasonable safety obligations and a fall accident occurs, the property management company shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation. However, if the fall injury is caused by personal negligence or intentional behavior, the property company may not be liable for compensation.
