Weather-related Accident Claims Types
Unfortunately, there are a number of different types of accidents which can occur as a result of extremities in weather, some of which are below. Of course, the list is not comprehensive and there may be other types of injuries you have experienced which you may want to discuss with our team.
- Accidents in the snow
- Slipped outside on an icy supermarket entrance
- Fallen in the street on snow or ice
- Been injured as a result of flooding
- Had an accident in a car skidding on an icy road
One of the main types of accidents highlighted were car accidents caused as a result of a number of problems caused or exacerbated by the weather:
- Motorists driving on icy roads
- Inadequate gritting of roads by the council
- Potholes that are sufficiently managed in time by the council
The report concluded that most of the accidents were preventable if some attention to problems had been acknowledged and addressed beforehand.
Accidents In The Snow
During the winter months, the snow can cause serious disruption and injury to many individuals. While it is difficult to fully anticipate the snow, many people are injured due to others’ unawareness of the potential hazards of accidents in the snow.
Have you been injured from icy or snow covered company pathways or vehicle entrances? Have you received any injuries from other motorists’ careless driving in the snow? Have you suffered harm as a result of someone else’s negligence to properly remove the dangers of snow and ice? You would be surprised how many people suffer from accidents in the snow.
Regardless of the situation, if you have been involved in a major or minor accident you could claim accident compensation.
