Highway Defects

Not all automobile accident cases result from the negligence of another driver. Sometimes defects in the roads, themselves, can lead to serious injury accidents. Even the safest highways in the United States pose many potential risks to drivers due to elevated speed limits and the number of drivers who violate even those limits. A defect in construction, design, or lighting can turn an already potentially dangerous stretch of road into one rife with serious, even deadly, hazards. In such cases, it may be possible to take legal action against relevant government agencies if an injury results. Likewise, various government agencies may be held liable for the failure to post clear warnings of hazards, unsafe construction sites, and improper placement of utility poles.
