Insurance Companies report a Surge in Claims

Some of the top insurance companies have reportedly paid out over £650 million in weather-related accident claims comprising of damaged houses, cars and businesses. Personal injury claims also make up a considerable portion of the figures.

Weather-related Accident Claims Types

Unfortunately, there are a number of different types of accidents which can occur as a result of extremities in weather, some of which are below. Of course, the list is not comprehensive and there may be other types of injuries you have experienced which you may want to discuss with our team of specialist personal injury solicitors:

  • Accidents in the snow
  • Slipped outside on an icy supermarket entrance
  • Fallen in the street on snow or ice
  • Been injured as a result of flooding
  • Had an accident in a car skidding on an icy road

One of the main types of accidents highlighted were car accidents caused as a result of a number of problems caused or exacerbated by the weather:

  • Motorists driving on icy roads
  • Inadequate gritting of roads by the council
  • Potholes that are sufficiently managed in time by the council

The report concluded that most of the accidents were preventable if some attention to problems had been acknowledged and addressed beforehand.

Have you been injured from icy or snow covered company pathways or vehicle entrances?  Have you received any injuries from other motorists’ careless driving in the snow?
