The winter often brings with it icy roads, wet and icy pavements and treacherous conditions underfoot. This understandably leads to more accidents on the roads and more falls than are experienced in the summer months, accidents that the victims of are still able to claim compensation for.
One of the most common forms of compensation claim is the no win no fee claim for injuries sustained in a fall. During summer months falls such as this are often down to badly maintained pavements, damaged roads and store owners failing to clear up spillages. In winter however these falls are even more common and are usually down to icy conditions caused by the weather and a lack of care from the local council.
The roads are equally hazardous during the winter months, as cars and even larger vehicles find it difficult to manoeuvre. A failure to grit the roads sufficiently often results in cars being unable to stop, losing control and crashing into other cars. These accidents often cause damage to vehicles and result in injury to the drivers, ranging from whiplash to serious injuries.
Compensation can be sought for injuries and vehicle damage sustained in accidents such as these by employing the services of a no win no fee personal injury lawyer. Whether your claim is against the council for inadequately gritting the roads, of against the driver of the other vehicle for not showing care and attention in treacherous conditions, a no win no fee solicitor will be able to guide you through the process.
