Road traffic accident compensation claims

Not very good at coping with adverse weather conditions, Britain must be one of the only countries in Europe that run out of grit and salt when the roads and pavements need it most. No doubt they will just about manage to stock up on salt and grit as the hosepipe ban comes into effect during the summer. How Britain is ever short of water never ceases to amaze me.
In June, 2007 thousands of homes were flooded in England after torrential rain saw many local rivers burst their banks. So as weather patterns change – apparently due to global warming – isn´t it time we were better prepared for chaos on the roads and pavements of the UK. I may not be qualified to run as transport minister but what I can say for sure is:- YES we may suffer torrential rain in summer. YES we may get more than three days of snow in winter, and YES we could suffer snowstorms in summer and a heat-wave in winter. Deal with it!

According to the Met office, the western and northern parts of the UK tend to lie close to the normal path of the Atlantic depressions (depressions being the operative word), and average rainfall varies enormously over the UK and up to 200 inches fall annually in Scotland, and an average of 20 inches in parts of England. The wettest areas of England are in the western half of the country. The most mountainous parts of the UK are in the west, and when westerly winds are forced to rise over the mountains, rain is produced.

So with all this advanced technology and detailed information at hand, how come we are never prepared for prolonged periods of snow or sunshine? An average winter´s day sees 10,000 accidents on Britain´s roads, but last week 30,000 accidents were reported over a 24-hour period. Not all of the road accidents could be attributed to the fact that roads weren´t treated, but many were. Nobody went to work, nobody went to school and my father described his local high street near Nottingham as having a carnival atmosphere. He said the pubs were packed and it was like a bank holiday.

Great for the skivers, but at what cost to England´s industry when the whole country grinds to a halt after workers can´t get to their jobs because of snow and ice on the roads? It´s a good job Geoff Hoon, (buffoon) isn´t solely responsible for getting Britain back to work. His ´stop whingeing´ comments only proved to infuriate a slipping, tripping public who didn´t feel safe enough to walk or drive to the local shops. A tax-paying public who contribute heavily to the local authority, and might well expect their roads and pavements to be gritted after a heavy snowfall, were justifiably outraged by his insensitive comments.

A friend of mine who works at a supermarket near Northampton said that three people had slipped on ice outside the store last week, and all had sustained personal injury as a result of the pavement surfaces not being salted or gritted. One lady is still in hospital after suffering a double arm fracture. This was three incidents of personal injury outside one shop on one day. Aside from the jovial comments about ´snow days´ and everyone being happy to skive off work, personal injury caused by slips and trips is a serious business.

Stockpiling bread and milk during bad weather and/or bank holidays may be a British ´thing´, (apparently there has been a rush on jaffa cakes too??), but nobody deserves to suffer personal injury after a trip to the shops because roads and pavements are left untreated.Why should you suffer after negligence from a local authority? You can claim compensation for personal injury following a slip, trip or road accident that was not your fault. For free advice, contact a personal injury solicitor who will let you know if you have a claim for personal injury compensation following a road accident or a slip or trip that was not your fault – even if you were stockpiling jaffa cakes when the incident took place!
