Free legal advice. Don’t do this.

Ooooffff...we're starting early😣
TODAY (Jan. 24) just after 7 a.m., a barricade on N. Memorial Parkway just before Airport Road was found broken. Someone ignored the warning - and that puts everyone at risk.

Barricades are placed to protect drivers, first responders and road crews. Moving or destroying them is dangerous and illegal.

➡️Respect the closures.
➡️Don’t go around barricades.
➡️Let’s keep Huntsville safe - together.

I've known Brad Travis WAFF 48 Meteorologist since 2009. He does not post something like this as click bait. Plan accordingly now so that you're not caught off guard if a severe snow/ice event happens. Stay safe.

🏠 **Tenant Safety vs. Open and Obvious Dangers**: A Landmark Alabama Case

In the recent **Ex parte Housing Authority of the City of Talladega** case, the Alabama Supreme Court tackled a key question: Do landlords have a duty to fix "open and obvious" dangers on their property?

👉 **Key Takeaway**: Landlords cannot ignore safety hazards just because they're "open and obvious." They must actively ensure tenant safety in areas they control.

**The Case**: Harold Wallace, a tenant, was injured after falling due to missing handrails on his apartment stairs. Initially, the trial court sided with the Housing Authority, stating the missing handrails were an obvious danger Wallace should have avoided. But the case didn't end there.

**The Ruling**: The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed that landlords **do have duties** under Sections 360 and 361 of the Restatement of Torts, even if the danger is obvious. This means:

- **Landlords must ensure safety** in areas they control and tenants use, discovering and fixing dangerous conditions.
- The Court emphasized that the landlord's duty to maintain safe conditions doesn't disappear just because a danger is obvious.

**Why It Matters**: This decision reinforces tenant protections and clarifies that landlords must take reasonable care to address dangers on their properties, protecting tenants even when hazards are visible.

Word to the wise. If weather damages your house or belongings, you expect your insurance company to cover you. But when was the last time you reviewed your policy to see what your coverage is? I recently did it with my house after an issue. Do yourself a favor and look into it tonight. 5 minutes may say you 5 months of frustration.
