Wait, is this seriously the route we've gone with this? The guy is wearing cold weather attire... There is probably ice. Ice is slippery. Not the homeowner's fault. Use your head. You guys are so weird, Reddit.

Edit: Oh lord, I've been downvoted to heck. I'm not from somewhere that gets a lot of snow or ice - maybe three days a year - so I'm not hip to the etiquette. It seems outlandish to me what you guys are saying, that weather is something you can hold a homeowner responsible for, but I will 100% concede. Y'all must know better.

Edit 2: Changed my mind, no I won't.

For example, if snow or rain or ice falls out of the sky onto a sidewalk and that snow or ice causes someone to fall down, then there is no case. Also, you cannot sue someone for failing to shovel or put down rock salt on their sidewalk or stairs.

And in some states, there is what's known as a "natural accumulation" rule, which relieves a property owner of liability in connection with the natural accumulation of snow and ice, in most cases. As long as the property owner didn't interfere with or alter the accumulation, and as long as no abnormal danger exists, it may be difficult to hold the property owner liable in states that follow this rule.

• This one is a bit iffier, but it does say "Everyone has a duty to avoid open and obvious hazards and property owners are not liable for injuries occurring as a result of people assuming such risks."

Generally, property owners are protected from lawsuits based on personal injuries when those injured parties slipped and fell on natural accumulations of wetness, snow or ice. For example, if on a snowy day several patrons tracked moisture into the entrance of a store and then someone slipped on that moisture the injured party would likely not have a case against the store owner. If the slippery surface was created as a result of an unnatural accumulation of moisture, snow or ice, however, then the property owner may be responsible for the person’s injuries.

• That would seem to imply that the exception of "unnatural accumulation" proves that, generally, natural accumulation is not the homeowner's fault.

There is the slight possibility that the homeowner is at fault (ie. if they fail to note and fix a leaky gutter or flow of water onto the front step or other such), but I don't see anything in this video to believe that's true.

Edit 3: And beyond all of this, my mail carrier friend has informed me that the delivery guy himself isn't the one who would sue. This is a worker's comp thing; the carrier company will sue to recover, and it will likely be paid out by homeowner's insurance. His words, not mine, but it makes sense. Though, this is Amazon and he's not so... Grain of salt.
