You may be entitled to compensation if you have been injured in an auto accident that was caused by a defect in the road. State and federal governments are obligated to provide the public with safe roads and to properly maintain them in a state that is safe for use. If you or a loved one has been injured because of a defect or design flaw in the road, it may be possible to file suit against the liable parties. The auto accident attorneys from our Atlanta-area firm serving all of North Georgia can help determine if the road is defective by looking at the road design, how well it is maintained, and if there is adequate signage warning of possible dangers.
At Hasty Pope LLP, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals. If a road defect causes an injury, contact one of our personal injury attorneys today. Our dedicated and compassionate auto accident attorneys want to help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
The government and its agents, such as outside contractors, are responsible for designing a road that is safe to use and free of major flaws. This entails maintaining the road so that it does not pose a threat to road users and warning drivers with proper signage of any potential dangers on the road, such as dips, unexpected turns, or changes in speed limit. If an injury results from the government or its agents failing to meet these criteria, it may be possible to file a claim for compensation.
The auto accident attorneys from our North Georgia office serving the greater Atlanta area can review your claim and determine your case eligibility. In a road defect lawsuit, it must be proven that the car accident, motorcycle accident, or truck accident was caused by a defect in the road's design, such as a lack of maintenance or a lack of signage warning of dangers.
If it is determined that the accident was caused by another involved party, it may not be possible to file a road defect claim. This complicated task requires experienced and knowledgeable attorneys. Our lawyers have extensive experience in auto accident litigation, and can help you successfully resolve your case. If it turns out that you are eligible for financial compensation, you can be awarded for hospital bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and any property damage.
Drivers face a variety of hazards on the road everyday. A road defect, however, can be a hazard that is outside of a driver’s control. In cases where the road itself is a cause of a motor vehicle accident, the driver(s) involved may have little warning and an inability to take preventive measures. Among the more common types of road defects that cause auto accidents include:
