When Accidents are Caused by Hazardous Roads
Motor vehicle accidents aren't always the result of a driver's negligence. Sometimes, the negligence is on the part of the city or government entity responsible for building and maintaining the roads themselves. When an accident is caused by a dangerous roadway, action can be taken against that government entity. At The Stanley Law Offices, LLP, our lawyers are ready to take such action on behalf of victims.
Defective Road Design
A lot of work goes into building a road. In many cases, work continues year after year to build something that will be safe and effective. Unfortunately, sometimes something is missed. Defective design can present itself in many ways. One common problem is a lack of warning signs. For example, if there is a sharp curve but no sign warning drivers to slow down, it can cause a serious accident. We can handle these and all other accidents caused by defective design and dangerous roadways.
Dangerous Road Conditions
Dangerous roadways can also come in many other forms. Construction zone accidents are not uncommon. While the problem may be with the construction itself, the accident may also simply be the result of another driver not paying attention to the signs in a construction zone. Other examples of dangerous roadway conditions include maintenance issues, such as deep potholes that could cause blowouts and other types of accidents. No matter what has happened, we can find out who is responsible and take the appropriate action.
