Car accidents can occur for a number of reasons, but bad weather adds a hazardous element that multiplies the risks. Rain and flooding, snow, fog, high winds, and ice all contribute to dangerous driving conditions. Low visibility, slippery wet roads, and the mistakes of other motorists compound the risks normally associated with driving and can lead to a devastating crash. Injuries can be severe, ranging from minor fractures and sprains to bone breaks, cranial damage, or death.
If you’ve been in an accident in inclement weather and the other driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensatory damages.

There are a number of factors in bad weather that contribute to an increase in car accidents:
The injuries a victim can sustain in a bad weather accident can be devastating. Fast movement and a sudden stop, which could occur when a car skids on a slick road and crashes into another vehicle or guardrail, may cause neck sprain or strain and soft-tissue damage. It can lead to serious long-term problems if not treated.
The heavy impacts resulting from car crashes can lead to many other combinations of injuries, including cuts, bruises, and scrapes; lacerations; bone fractures and breaks; punctures from bones, glass, or metal; head trauma resulting in brain damage; or damage to the neck and/or spine leading to partial or full paralysis.
The following statistics from safer-america.com underscore just how dangerous driving in bad weather can be, especially when careless drivers don’t take necessary precautions when driving on the road.
While sometimes it’s best to stay off the roads, it’s possible to drive safely in most weather conditions, as long as drivers are cautious and heed to laws of the road. When a driver is careless, however, inclement weather can make an accident much worse.
At Chapman Injury Lawyers, we’ve received a number of questions about inclement weather accidents and negligent drivers. We’ve included some of our most commonly asked questions below, but don’t hesitate to contact our attorneys if you have any additional questions about your accident.
Yes. It is critically important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after any car accident. Even if it seems as though you aren’t injured, the impact of the crash may have caused internal injuries that could be further hidden by the adrenaline rushing through your body just after the accident.
Internal bleeding, fractures, or a concussion could cause serious long-term consequences if not treated right away. At least get the paramedics visiting the scene to look you over, and schedule a doctor’s visit as soon as possible. Medical records will be an important part of your case, and if you refuse treatment, the insurance company may try to argue that you were not injured at all.
After seeking medical attention, keep all records and receipts in a special file. Follow any treatment prescribed by your doctor. Do not speak with any insurance company representatives. Speak with your attorney first. Insurance companies know exactly what to say and what to get you to say in order to avoid paying compensation. Call Chapman Injury Lawyers as soon as possible. Indiana’s statute of limitations on personal injury accident lawsuits is two years, but insurance companies may require that you make a claim within a few days or weeks of the accident, so you should not delay.
Every accident is different, but there are a few typical types of compensation you may be eligible for, including:
The types of compensation possible will be specific to your situation. Speak with your attorney for more information about the forms of compensation you might receive for your own case.
The experienced car accident attorneys at Chapman Injury Lawyers know how hard it can be to come back after a car accident. We speak with accident victims every day, and we understand what you’re going through. You don’t have to face this alone.
