Accidents On Winter Roads

Careless Drivers And Winter Roads

Important factors to consider in a winter road accident include:

• Driver responsibility: Drivers must be cautious on winter roads. When the speed or failure to allow enough distance between cars to safely stop, they are not exercising due caution. Depending upon other circumstances, these drivers may be found solely liable for car accident injuries.
• Multiple car accidents: Winter road conditions often give rise to pileups and other multiple car accidents. It can be very difficult to demonstrate any driver was more negligent than the other. Oftentimes, it is found that the winter road conditions were responsible for the accident and no driver was at fault.
• Maintenance problems: In some cases, a party charged with maintaining winter roads may be found liable for damages. Parking lots, driveways, and other areas must be cleared of ice and snow in a timely manner to protect visitors from harm. Failure to do so can result in traffic accidents and slip-and-fall accidents.
