There are strict drink driving limits in place in order to help make our roads a safer place. Over the Christmas and New Year period people often exceed legal limits on drinking alcohol and still drive their vehicles, which on occasions leads to an accident and injuries.

There has been a recent case involving a driver from Southmead, Bristol. The drunk driver crashed his car whilst he was three times over the legal alchohol limit. As a result he has been banned from driving for three and a half years.

Bristol Magistrates Court was told how the 67 year old drunk two pints of cider and a glass of wine and then went to drive his car to Southmead Hospital in order to pick up his wife.

His car was witnessed swerving in Greystoke Avenue before mounting a kerb and colliding with a flower bed and then coming to a stop.

On arrest he had 101 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit is 35. As well as being banned for three and a half years, the man was ordered to pay costs and remain at home at night under curfew for three months.

If as a driver or passenger you have been injured by a driver over the alcohol limit as a result of an accident you may be able to make an over the limit car accident claim.

In order to make a drunk driver accident claim you’re injuries will need to be diagnosed by a doctor and on medical records. It would be useful if you obtained a police reference number from the police.

With all the bad weather and very low temperatures throughout most parts of the UK, many of the roads are very dangerous to drive on and with so many being closed, drivers in some areas are being told to only make essential journeys.

Traffic accidents due to a car being hit in the rear by another car which slides on ice, and looses control, are very common in these severe icy and snowy conditions.

The collision then often causes not only damage to the vehicles, but also to drivers and passengers who are already having a bad time of getting from one place to another.

It is when a traffic accident happens and innocent drivers and passengers are injured, due to a car accident on ice, that a claim for injury compensation is often made.

Any driver or passenger who suffers an injury due to a car sliding on ice and colliding into them, if the injury is sufficient, may claim for compensation. The majority of injuries we help people claim for following a non fault car accident are for whiplash, soft tissue injury and a back injury.

The injury suffered in the traffic accident will need to be recorded on medical records, therefore a visit to hospital or the doctors will be necessary.

If you have been injured in a car accident due to ice and snow, and you were not at fault, please contact us to see if a claim for compensation can be made on a no win no fee basis. All successful claims for car accidents on ice are paid out 100% of the compensation awarded.

Having been involved in a traffic accident yesterday at around 2.45pm on the main road between Torquay and Teignmouth, an elderly couple were taken to Torbay hospital by ambulance with serious injuries.

The car they were driving in ploughed into the back of a lorry causing severe damage to the car.

A South Western Ambulance spokesman said the female passenger suffered ‘life threatening injuries’ while the driver of the car suffered ‘significant multiple injuries’.

The accident was witnessed by someone working nearby who gave assistance to the elderly couple, believed to be in their eighties.

The traffic accident required the fire service, police, ambulance as well as the Devon Air Ambulance to attend the scene.

The accident happened on the A379, which had to be closed following the accident. The road was likely to be closed for between four and six hours. The fire service had to remove the roof of the Mitsubishi to allow paramedics to treat the injured driver and passenger.

Newton Abbot Traffic Unit were investigating the accident. The car hit a lorry which was stationary on the side of the road and was being unloaded.
