Car Accidents due to Snow and Ice
A common cause of accidents on the roads is treacherous surfaces covered in snow and/or ice in the winter months.
You will still be entitled to claim if you have an accident caused by someone else in bad weather as road users should take more care when driving in adverse weather conditions by travelling slower and leaving safer braking distances.
If you have been involved in a road traffic accident that wasn’t your fault and were injured as a result, we can help you claim the compensation you deserve.
In addition to this, in limited circumstances you may be able to make a claim when you have an accident caused by a build up of snow and ice on the road making the highway dangerous to navigate. In 2003 a special provision was added to the Highways Act 1980 that stated -
‘In particular a highway authority are under a duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that safe passage along the highway is not endangered by snow and ice’.
If you have an accident caused by snow or ice on the road, that wasn’t your fault you may be entitled to a claim if your local authority had failed to fulfil their duty to ensure the roads are safe.
However, please be aware that the local authority only has to do all that is reasonably practicable and recent case law indicates that the Council will not be liable if they have acted adequately and properly.
Contact us and we can find out if you may be entitled to make a claim in relation to your accident caused by snow and/or ice on the road.
