Inclement weather such as fog, rain, sleet, snow, and ice can reduce visibility, traction, speed control, and brake performance. For this reason, drivers must adjust their speed and take extra care when traveling in bad weather conditions. Drivers who fail to do so not only put their own lives at risk but also endanger everyone else around them.<\/p>\n<p>According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ops.fhwa.dot.gov\/weather\/q1_roadimpact.htm\">Federal\u00a0Highway\u00a0Administration<\/a>, weather causes\u00a0more than 1.3 million crashes in the U.S. each year. These crashes result\u00a0in more than 6,000 deaths and 480,000 injuries annually. Kentucky is among the states\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/icyroadsafety.com\/fatalitystats.shtml\">most at\u00a0risk<\/a>\u00a0for icy road deaths.<\/p>\n<p>Although bad weather makes for dangerous driving conditions, the at-fault driver may still be held responsible. Their insurance company may try to deny liability, claiming that the weather conditions caused the crash. However,\u00a0the defendant may have failed to take necessary safety precautions, such as lowering speed, using headlights, or completely clearing snow\/ice from their vehicle before driving. A car accident lawyer at Farmer &amp; Wright will help determine whether driver negligence played a part in your crash.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hire_the_Best_Car_Accident_Law_Firm\"><\/span>Hire the Best Car Accident Law Firm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you have suffered an injury because another driver failed to drive safely\u00a0in adverse weather conditions, we are here to help. \u00a0You will need an experienced team on your side to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>At Farmer &amp; Wright, we operate on a contingent fee basis.
