With more snow and freezing conditions forecast for the weeks ahead it seems we all face the prospect of walking on some very slippery surfaces and many people will end up slipping, losing their balance and injuring themselves as a result.

Freezing slush and melted snow is likely to make pathways, car parks, forecourts, supermarkets and shop entrances very dangerous and extreme care should be taken when walking in icy conditions.

Even with footwear that has the very best gripping soles there is still a high risk of slipping on ice, the resulting injuries can be very serious and range from bruising to fractures and broken bones.

Anyone who suffers an injury following a slip in icy conditions should speak with a personal injury Solicitor who has experience of handling similar cases, they will be able to provide an in depth assessment as to the likelihood of achieving a compensation payout from the responsible party.

The recent cold snap that has struck much of Britain brought with it treacherous driving conditions with thick snow and ice covering many of the UK’s roads.

Despite motoring organisations issuing warnings to car owners to only take to the road if absolutely necessary there have still been thousands of car accidents as a direct result of the terrible driving conditions.

Insurance companies will be bracing themselves, as it is estimated that the repair bill for damage caused to cars involved in accidents in the snow and ice could run into several million pounds.

On top of that is the cost of personal injury compensation payments that will be due to anyone who was injured in a car accident through no fault of their own, payouts will be due to car passengers and motorists who have been hit by another car.
