Steckloff v. Codomo

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the doctrine was inapplicable where formation of black ice on a roadway was “influenced by human intervention,” i.e., early-morning snow plowing undertaken in response to an overnight snow
• holding that, absent evidence to the contrary, undisputed evidence of a snowstorm, subsequent plowing of the road, and a later slip and fall on ice “suggests that the condition of the land was influenced by human intervention”
• stating plaintiff “observed that some portions of the road were covered with packed down snow from being plowed and that there were patches of cleared asphalt”
• explaining appeal properly lies from judgment entered following trial court’s disposition of post-trial motions
• stating that, under the hills and ridges doctrine, a land possessor is not liable for generally slippery conditions “for to require that one’s walks be always free of ice and snow would be to impose an impossible burden in view of the climatic conditions in this hemisphere”
• “Despite [a]ppellants’ error in prematurely filing their notice of appeal, this Court will address the appeal -8- J-A13035-20 because judgment has [since] been entered on the verdict.”
