Credit Union Premises Liability

Here, William Lowrence alleged that he was injured when he slipped and fell on ice on the sidewalk outside the credit union.

The sidewalk was owned by the City of Kenosha and not by the credit union. The credit union, however, allegedly customarily engaged in snow removal practices on this sidewalk to comply with a city ordinance.

The court found that the credit union’s practice of engaging in snow removal did not raise a duty to the allegedly injured party.

Hence, the court held that the plaintiff’s complaint would be dismissed and there would be no liability on behalf of the credit union. William Lowrence v. AM Community Credit Union (Court of Appeals of Wisconsin, Case No. 93- 2400).
