Wreck in the rain? The other driver may owe you.  Learn more...

4/24/2023

Were you recently in an accident where the other driver blamed 'hydroplaning' for losing control of their vehicle? Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle's tires slide across a wet surface, and it can result in chain reaction crashes that cause injuries. While some hydroplaning incidents may be unavoidable, many can be prevented with proper driving techniques.

Negligent driving practices can cause hydroplaning, including driving recklessly on wet roads, driving with under-inflated tires, driving through standing water at high speeds, making sharp or sudden turns in wet conditions, and failing to maintain adequate tires on a vehicle. In some cases, an accident could have been avoided if the driver had been more careful, and the blame falls on them.

If you or a loved one were hurt in an accident due to someone's careless driving, you may have a case that proves their negligence, and you could potentially receive compensation for any pain or suffering you experienced. At the law offices of T. Verner Smith, we represent clients who have suffered personal injury due to the negligence of others. These lawsuits not only provide compensation for those who were wrongfully hurt, but also promote safety standards for all.

In a wreck because someone hydroplaned?

Have you recently been involved in an accident in which the other person has blamed 'hydroplaning' for losing control of their vehicle?
Hydroplaning is a term describing the sliding of tires across a wet surface. These incidents often cause a chain reaction crash, often resulting in injuries. While some hydroplaning incidents may be determined as unavoidable, a great number can be prevented with proper driving techniques.
Hydroplaning can be caused by multiple negligent actions:
  • Driving recklessly on wet roadways
  • Under-inflated tires
  • Driving through standing water at unreasonable speeds
  • Making too sharp or too quick turns in wet conditions
  • Failing to maintain adequate tires on a vehicle
While each case is different, there are times when an accident could have obviously been avoided, placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of the driver.
If you believe that you or a loved one have fallen victim to someone who was careless while driving, you may have a case that proves their actions were negligent and any pain or suffering you endured or continue to endure could result in a potential lawsuit. Contact us for a case review.
At the law offices of T. Verner Smith, we represent clients who have suffered personal injury due to the negligence of another.
