Many traffic accidents result from one or more drivers losing control of their vehicles – commonly due to poor weather conditions, distraction, intoxication, or other factors – but at the center of a personal injury claim is “negligence,” meaning that one party’s negligence directly resulted in the accident and your injuries.
Although poor weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog, can cause a driver to lose control of his/her vehicle, these conditions do not excuse a driver from liability for an accident because the driver is legally responsible for driving with as much caution as is necessary in accordance with such conditions. If a snowstorm is occurring, drivers must reduce their speed and be careful when making turns; otherwise, there would be an accident at nearly every intersection. When a driver is distracted or intoxicated and loses control of the vehicle as a result, liability is arguably more clear and obvious than in any other scenario.
Whether the road or the weather is in poor condition, drivers must still exercise proper caution according to the circumstances, and failure to do so may be considered negligence and, thus, legal liability for an accident involving a pedestrian.
