What If I'm Injured Due To A Road Defect?

Road defects stem from poor design, poor maintenance and many other sources. They can cause accidents even when you haven’t made a mistake behind the wheel. You must know how to proceed. Compensation may be possible even when no other drivers were involved.

Examples Of Road Defects

Road defects may include:

• Sudden drop-offs
• Uneven traffic lanes
• Missing signs
• Improper signs
• Unsafe guardrails
• Missing guardrails
• Equipment or debris on the highway

At highway speeds, your reaction time may not be enough to save you from a serious accident.

Who Is Liable?

If you were not liable and no other driver was at fault, liability may fall on:

• Contractors and construction crews that built or worked on the road
• The municipality that is supposed to properly maintain the road
• A parts and materials supplier that provided defective materials

Every case is unique, so it is important to sort through all of the details of your case.
