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.

This case is a great example of the term ‘vicarious liability’ used in a real life claim for personal injury compensation. Vicarious liability simply means that the negligent actions of a colleague at work is the responsibility of the employer.

So, rather than suing your work colleague for negligence, they should be covered by your employers insurance. Here we will take a look at a case we won on this argument in law.

We blogged about the impact that the cold weather over Christmas has had on our roads and paths just recently. Whilst it was nice to have a bit of snowy weather over the festive period, the recent bout of snow that hit many parts of the country this week hasn’t helped the pothole situation.

It’s actually a bit of a grey area in law when it comes to the duties of a bus driver to wait for passengers to be seated before setting off. In a news report from the BBC, a pensioner in Scotland has been awarded £10,000 in Court after she fell and inured her shoulder on a McGill’s coach in these exact circumstances.
