The Law Offices of Scott Righthand represents drivers and passengers who were injured on a poorly designed or poorly maintained San Francisco highway, street or road.  When a government entity, such as the municipal, state or federal government, fails to provide a safely designed and maintained roadway, they may be held liable for any resulting accidents and injuries.

Evidence of highway design problems include the following:

  • Malfunctioning Traffic Signals.  Includes damaged traffic lights or railroad crossing arms.
  • Signs With Poor Visibility. Includes obstructed, missing or damaged stop signs, yield signs, curve signs, or one-way signs.
  • Lack of Warning.  Includes the failure to warn drivers of fallen power lines, work crews and other road hazards.
