Dangerous Roadways
Injured on a Dangerous Road in the Metro Area?
Not all motor vehicle accidents are caused by driver negligence or recklessness. Although New York state, city and other authorities strive to comply with federal guidelines, wrecks and collisions are sometimes attributable to dangerous roadway defects, inadequate road or street maintenance, or negligence when setting up a construction zone.
We are experienced personal injury litigators and skilled negotiators with in-depth knowledge of what may justify a claim against a municipality or another government entity. After any car, truck or motorcycle accident you believe was caused by problems with the road you were traveling, contact us right away. We will welcome your call and evaluate your case free.
Insight Across the Spectrum of Road Defects and Practical Legal Action
Some of the many types of dangerous roadway defects that can result in serious, injury-causing or even fatal car accidents include:
- Fundamentally unsafe highway conditions such as curves that are too sharp or lanes that are too narrow—sometimes created by construction in progress
- Potholes that should have been repaired or marked
- Improperly placed guardrails or other design defects
- Blind or obstructed intersections
- Severe pavement defects or unacceptably slippery pavement, most commonly on an older road or in inclement weather
