Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio

I slipped and fell on ice and snow at a hotel in Columbus, Ohio. I live in Indiana. The hotel's insurance company is trying to deny paying for my medical expenses and pain and suffering. Their claim is that the ice was naturally occurring so they are not responsible. I would think all ice and freezing rain snow would be naturally occurring so there would never be any responsibility for property owners to try to maintain a safe slip resistant property. The ice and snow had not been treated with salt, ice melt, kitty litter, sand or anything. They also claim that they hire someone to clear the snow and ice so that company is responsible and not them. What are the laws in regard to this?
