How does severe weather impact a car accident case? Can that affect liability?
Severe weather, especially in Western New York, can have a real impact on how car accidents are evaluated and how liability is split up in inclement weather, whether that’s snow that we’re used to up here in Western New York or bad rain or something else. We have a duty to be careful and we have a duty to be careful under the circumstances. So, if it’s snowing bad or if it’s raining bad, we have to proceed with caution. We have to drive slower. We have to give even more space between our car and the other car. There’s a lot of different factors that come into play in these types of accidents, especially those involving snow and ice.
This is why it’s so important to call an experienced personal injury law firm like our firm who has a lot of experience in handling snow and weather car accident cases so we can investigate quickly and ensure that the other driver’s insurance company isn’t going to try to put fault on you and try to lower the value of your claim.
