UNDERSTANDING GOVERNMENT LIABILITY FOR INJURIES CAUSED BY HAZARDOUS ROADS OR DEFECTIVE TRAFFIC SIGNS
There are numerous causes of terrible car accidents. Everything from driver error to an auto manufacturing or design defect can potentially cause a serious collision. Another hazardous cause of a car accident is a poorly designed or maintained highway or road.
If you were involved in an accident and the design or maintenance of a roadway or traffic sign contributed to your accident, you may be able to file a claim or lawsuit for compensation. Depending on where the accident took place, the government or local municipality may be held liable for your injuries. Again, here in California there is a 6 month claim requirement so act quickly.
TYPES OF HIGHWAY DEFECTS
Certain things that may point to highway design fault include:
- Malfunctioning traffic signals or damaged traffic lights, stop signs or railroad crossing arms
- Signs with poor visibility, obstructed signs, missing or damaged signs including yield signs, curve or one-way signs
- Lack of warnings for fallen power lines, work crews or other road hazards
- Missing or faulty safety equipment, including crash barriers and guard rails
- Poor road maintenance involving potholes, roadway obstructions or flooding
- Lack of share the road signs, or lack of bikeways
- Lack of crosswalks or safe crossing areas
- The use of crosswalks without added lighting or enhancements
