It is that time of year again. It is time for holiday parties, school pageants, and of course, the first significant Chicagoland snowfall. Inevitably, the first significant snowfall, and all those thereafter, bring with them traffic accidents.
Is Anyone Liable for Motor Vehicle Accidents that Happen in Snow and Ice?
In many cases, a driver is liable for motor vehicle accidents that happen in inclement winter weather. A driver has a duty of care to other travelers in all types of weather. That duty of care may be breached if a driver travels too fast for the road conditions, for example. It is important to remember that the posted speed limit is set for ideal conditions and that it might not be safe to travel at the posted speed limit in bad weather.
