People who are involved in a collision and suffer personal injury may be found liable for the incident if the roads were icy or snowy and they did not have snow chains or tyre snow socks on their vehicle's wheels.
In cases where it is clear which driver was responsible for the crash, details like these might not impact on the court proceedings.
However, when both motorists are partly liable or the evidence presented does not lead to an obvious conclusion and verdict, the difference between having extra grip on the car tyres or not might make all the difference.
For example, if, in very particular circumstances, both individuals have been deemed responsible for the incident, the court may decide that the road user whose' vehicle had less grip on the tarmac has greater accountability due to not being suitably prepared for poor weather conditions.
Similarly, the court's verdict may be influenced, in the event that the cases' other specifics do not make liability clear, to rule that the collision was the fault of the individual who had not fitted snow chains or socks to the tyres of their car.
Drivers should be prepared for poor road conditions, since failing to be prepared can result in sustaining a personal injury, or causing someone else injury, in an accident.
Motorists are liable for their actions, or inactions behind the wheel. If the road is slippery or slushy, and they have no extra grip on their wheels in the form of chains of tyre socks to help them, they should drive carefully to avoid an accident.
Driving in the same way as they would on a highway clear of water, ice or snow, on a road which does contain one or more of these things, without any extra safety measures fitted to their vehicle, is likely to mean that any compensation claim they might make would be unsuccessful.
