We\u2019re in the height of the colder months of the winter, so if you have had a motorbike accident in snow, you may find the advice in this article useful.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re the innocent victim in a motorcycle accident and you\u2019ve suffered injuries as a result, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation<\/strong><\/a>. If another road user is at fault, they can\u2019t rely on the excuse that the weather was a contributing factor to the accident to completely get away with it. We all have a duty to adapt to the weather conditions, so it\u2019s no defence to say such a thing.<\/p>\n

In snowy conditions, the risks of an accident taking place can be greater, so it\u2019s important that we address this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Claiming for a motorbike accident in snow<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re the injured rider who was the innocent victim of a motorbike accident in snow, you should be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation in the usual way.<\/p>\n

If another road user was at fault for the incident, their insurance should cover you for any suffering and loss. We can offer No Win, No Fee arrangements in the usual way.<\/p>\n

If they failed to stop, verged into your lane or skidded out from a side road as a result of snow, it\u2019s simply no excuse. Road users must adapt their driving to suit the conditions of the road, and in snowy weather, this means slowing down; perhaps even to a crawl. The weather contributing to an accident taking place is not a viable defence to a claim.<\/p>\n

If the weather is the only cause\u2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the weather is the only cause of a motorbike accident in snow, it\u2019s not so easy to claim.<\/p>\n

If you skidded and came off your bike as a result of the road conditions, there isn\u2019t usually anyone to blame. Although councils and highways authorities do grit and clear roads, it\u2019s incredibly difficult to establish a case of negligence where this isn\u2019t done. The weather can turn fast, and there\u2019s only so much that can be done to make the roads safer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always worth speaking to our team just in case, especially when injuries suffered are serious.<\/p>\n
