As Indiana's first Certified Snow Professional, Mr. Anderson started shoveling neighbors' driveways when he was 6 years old and has worked as an expert witness for attorneys on slip and fall cases on snow and ice since 2011. A former member of the ILCA in the '80s and 90's, he now runs a "snow-only" business in Hammond Indiana. In this session, you will learn the essentials of avoiding liability from a slip and fall lawsuit and how to minimize the damages if you are served with a lawsuit.

It all starts with communicating expectations and negotiating the snow contract when the sun is shining and it's 70 degrees outside. It continues through the proper training of you and your employees, how to best set up your routes, acquiring the proper anti-icing and deicing materials, operations, retention of the proper documentation, and what to do if you are sued. This class is a "must attend' if you are supplementing your summer income with snow and ice services.
