The weather has turned. We\u2019ve seen temperatures drop and snow has fallen. So, it\u2019s a time of the year when we remind ourselves of the dangers of bike accidents in icy weather.<\/p>\n

When it comes to a bike accident, the weather is never an excuse. A driver who hits a biker because of the weather conditions can\u2019t just rely on the weather as a defence. Road users need to adjust in icy conditions, which means reducing speeds and increasing stopping distances.<\/p>\n

Even when we think it\u2019s fine, there could be traitorous black ice waiting to slip is up. Bike accidents in icy weather can easily happen when road users fail to adjust their driving to suit the conditions. We\u2019re here to fight for justice for injured riders if an accident ever happens.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Increasing bike accidents in icy weather<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Increasing bike accidents in icy weather can come hand-in-hand when the conditions turn like they have. The need for increased stopping distances and reducing speeds, together with paying full due care and attention of course, is the only way to stop accidents.<\/p>\n

The same rules apply when it comes to overtaking, changing lanes and pulling out of side roads. Drivers must give way when they should do, but low visibility can make bikers harder to spot. Add the inability to stop as easily to avoid an accident when a mistake happens, and you can see why bike accidents in icy weather can increase at this time of the year.<\/p>\n

Compensation for bike accidents in icy weather<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Injured riders can be eligible to claim compensation for bike accidents in icy weather<\/strong><\/a>. The driver at fault cannot simply use the excuse that the weather caused the accident, because that\u2019s not how the law works!<\/p>\n

Drivers must adapt their driving to suit the conditions in the same way bikers must. We should all take greater care to make sure we don\u2019t cause any accidents in dangerous conditions.<\/p>\n

We can offer No Win, No Fee representation for injured riders who wish to claim for bike accidents<\/strong><\/a> in icy weather. Speak to the team today about what has happened to you and we\u2019ll see if we can assist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
