The Dangers of Wintertime Driving

These statistics are alarming for those who regularly drive in states with harsh winters, as adverse weather-related collisions tend to have particularly devastating repercussions for motorists and passengers whose injuries are often severe. Unfortunately, many at-fault drivers use the existence of inclement weather as an excuse for their poor driving in an effort to avoid liability for a collision. The courts, however, expect motorists to drive with care at all times, especially during poor weather, meaning that those who are involved in wintertime collisions are often still entitled to damages compensating them for accident-related losses, including medical bills and lost wages.
