Bison Law Firm

As winter weather arrives, so does an increase in accidents on icy and snow-covered roads. At Bison Law Firm, we see a significant uptick in cases involving car accidents during the colder months. While you can’t control the weather, you can control how prepared you are. Many of these accidents result in extensive damage to vehicles, serious injuries, and unfortunately, disputes over liability. That’s why being prepared and having adequate insurance coverage is vital. One of the most critical steps you can take is understanding your insurance coverage before disaster strikes.

Tips for Staying Safe and Prepared

While having proper insurance coverage is essential, preventing accidents is always the goal. Here are some tips to stay safe during winter weather:

  • Slow Down: Reduce your speed to account for icy or snow-covered roads.
  • Increase Following Distance: Give yourself more room to stop safely.
  • Stay Prepared: Keep an emergency kit in your car, including blankets, a flashlight, and extra food and water.
  • Check Your Tires: Ensure your tires are properly inflated and have adequate tread.

What to Do After an Accident

If you’re involved in a winter weather accident, knowing how to respond can protect your rights:

  1. Check for injuries and call emergency services if needed.
  2. Exchange information with the other driver(s).
  3. Take photos of the accident scene, including road conditions and vehicle damage.
  4. Contact your insurance company to report the accident.
