Snow is one form of cold weather that comes with good associations - snowballs, hot soup and log fires, among others - but also has a downside, in that it can be a factor in causing personal injuries. If snow falls where it can be dangerous, and is not cleared away, people who have accidents there may be able to make a no win, no fee claim for injuries suffered.
Snow and highways
Roads and pavements are the location of many snow-related falls and accidents. The amount of gritting that the responsible parties are expected to do is a matter of dispute, but it may be possible to make a no win, no fee claim on the grounds of negligence if, for example, a busy road or public crossing is not made safe.
As it is a complex area of the law, however, it is advisable to seek a legal opinion from a firm, such as YouClaim, with wide experience of handling a no win, no fee claim in personal injury cases.
Snow and work-related injuries
Snow in a work environment, such as a building site, can lead to serious complications. Slips and falls are more likely from icy scaffolding, for example, and employers who do not take steps to ensure that such areas are made safe may be counted as negligent, which can make them liable to a no win, no fee claim being made against them.
Snow and visiting workers
Responsibility for making snow safe can also lie within one's own property. If a worker visits a house to check a meter, say and suffers an accident because the ground around the meter is slippery with snow, the home-owner may be liable for negligence in allowing the worker to attempt to perform his / her job in an unsafe area.
