Liability in Inclement Weather Car Accident Claims
Drivers in Massachusetts are legally obligated to exercise a duty of care, particularly under adverse weather conditions. Failure to adapt driving behaviors appropriately during inclement weather can lead to accidents for which drivers may be held liable. Common examples of negligence in these situations include:
- Speeding
- Failing to signal turns
- Opting to drive in unsafe conditions
- Following too closely
- Drowsy driving
- Continuing to drive with poor visibility
- Driving through flooded areas
- Not clearing windows of ice and snow
- Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance
These are just a few instances where driver negligence can contribute to weather-related accidents. Peck Trial Attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation into your accident to pinpoint the exact cause and identify the responsible parties.
The Critical Role of Evidence in Weather-Related Accident Claims
In weather-related car accident claims, timely collection of evidence is crucial. Photographic evidence can capture specific weather conditions at the accident scene, proving invaluable long after the weather has changed. Other essential evidence includes witness statements, police reports, and weather reports, which collectively support your claim by documenting the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Due to the transient nature of weather conditions, it is imperative to collect evidence immediately following an accident. Delaying can result in the disappearance of critical proof as conditions change. Contacting an attorney swiftly ensures that they can start gathering evidence and building your case right away.
