Car Accidents Caused by Snow and Ice

Driving in wintry weather is part of many people’s daily lives in Pennsylvania. Although drivers endure regular snowfall and road freezing for several months out of the year, hundreds of winter weather-related accidents still occur in the state annually.

Snow and ice can create slippery and hazardous road conditions. A car travelling too fast may not have enough time to stop on an icy road surface, which can lead to multi-vehicle pileups as well as serious injuries and deaths. When large commercial vehicles are involved, the devastation can be even worse.

Weather Related Crash Statistics

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHA), one in every four crashes on U.S. roads each year is weather-related. Many of these occur in snow, ice, sleet, and other winter driving conditions. That number adds up to 1.5 million weather-related car accidents every year.

We Hold Negligent Drivers Responsible

Pennsylvania drivers have a legal obligation to drive safely and consider potentially dangerous weather conditions. Tragically, negligent drivers cause accidents when they fail to adjust their behavior in low visibility and/or slippery road conditions.

Proving negligence in a weather-related accident can be complicated. Our lawyers know how to investigate and uncover the details of vehicle accidents that occurred in snowy and icy conditions and use that critical information to act on victims’ behalf.
