Well OK – the weather has been a little hit and miss so far and we’re yet to see the best of the summer break through. But as the weather gets warmer, the number of bike accidents tends to rise as the bikers come out from their winter hibernation and get back out on the roads.

It’s a serious problem. Drivers ought to know the rules of the road and should always be scanning ahead and looking out for vehicles and pedestrians. Yes, bikers are harder to spot – but that’s no excuse when it comes to negligence on the road.

Rear end crashes are one of the most common scenarios for car accident injury claims. People fail to stop in time and they hit someone in the back – it’s easily done.

A hot spot for rear end shunt incidents is at the entry to roundabouts where traffic can suddenly slow and where speeds of traffic can vary significantly depending on volumes of cars on the roundabout and the directions they’re coming from. If you are hit at the foot of a roundabout then you have an almost guaranteed claim if you have been injured.

Who is to blame in an accident is really down to who has failed in their duty of care for the other road user. We do take on and win many claims that are against drivers who were drunk at the time of the accident, and it’s clear to see that many incidents could have been easily avoided if it were not for the selfish actions of a driver getting behind the wheel when over the limit.

But does being drunk automatically place someone at fault?

We have successfully won compensation claims for victims of wing mirror accidents – something that may sound a little odd until I elaborate further on the subject.

Pedestrians and cyclists are perhaps in the greatest danger of being hit by wing mirrors of normally larger vehicles. Buses that come too close to pavements, or lorries overtaking cyclists, have caused these accidents in the past. As you may be aware, their wing mirrors are fairly sizable when compared to most normal vehicles.

The weather is no defence to an accident claim in the majority of circumstances. Drivers ought to know to adjust their driving to suit the road and weather conditions, and a failure to do this that leads to an accident is negligent.

So if you have been the victim of a road accident that has been caused by the wet and rainy weather, know your rights!

We have been seeing quite a bit of heavy snow lately, and these periods of bad weather often lead to increases in people making road traffic accident claims with our expert team here at The Injury Lawyers.

A lot of it is down to drivers skidding on snow and ice and hitting the backs of other vehicles, or sliding out of side roads and causing accidents. It doesn’t help when road markings are harder to see and bouts of snow can turn a road from clear to an ice rink in less than minutes!

So if you have been the victim of a road accident that has been caused either in full or partially by the snow and ice, read on for more advice.

Given our recent bout of cold and wintery weather, potholes have been springing up all over the place. When water seeps in to cracks in the surface it can freeze, expand, and break up the concrete and create a cater of chaos that poses a significant tripping / falling hazard as well as a serious danger to motorists.

They have hit the news again in recent days as the cost of claims last year has been revealed – and we may be set to see some new technology to help prevent pothole dangers in the future.

Whilst it was nice to have a little bit of snow over the festive season, it has resulted in a lot of potholes being formed which have resulted in accidents and injuries caused to both pedestrians and drivers alike. Weather reports are now warning of a big freeze hitting us over the next few days which maybe set to leave our roads in even more of a dangerous condition.

Its likely more potholes will form and it’s likely there will be an increase in road accidents – so here is what you need to know if you are the victim of an incident where the weather is involved.

As a driver for 9 years now, I feel I’m fairly confident when it comes to the rules of the road and driving safely – as well as being quick to react to potential accident situations. But even the best of drivers cannot avoid the negligence of other drivers, which is why we have to have compulsory insurance to cover accidents and claims.

Roundabouts are a known accident hotspot – I’ve almost been in two non fault ones this week alone! So it seemed worthwhile to write a blog about the basics of roundabout exit claims.
