When it’s Not Human Error
Investigations and post-accident proceedings can leave victims frustrated, under the best conditions, but what about when there’s nobody to blame but the road designers? Cases involving poorly designed roadways can quickly become complicated too. Insurance companies may be slow to pay out on claims, and they may even try to deny these claims. Most likely, your lawyer will find experts like engineers and other professionals to help your case. It isn’t enough that you know the road is dangerous, you’ve got to have facts to back it up. It’s not like a traditional car accident case, where you know who is at fault, because that person was given a citation.
Dangerous Intersections
Were you injured at a dangerous intersection? Were the lights malfunctioning? Maybe there was foliage obstructing your vision. No matter what the case is, your lawyer can help to get the ball rolling on this type of case. Don’t let your insurance company bully you, and be sure to make your concerns about the dangerous intersection known. It isn’t always enough to just tell somebody. If you can, have it written down in the accident report with law enforcement. Raise your concerns with your lawyer and your insurance company.
Pot Holes, Drop Offs and Unsafe Shoulders
There are so many types of roadway defects. Some of the most common problems are pot holes, drop offs and unsafe shoulders. You might not think a pot hole is no big deal, but imagine it’s really big and you’re going down a roadway with a 55 mile per hour speed limit. Now, we’ve got a problem. You could have a tire blowout, or you could lose control of your car. Likewise, unsafe shoulders are very well known for causing rollover accidents. Say your tire drifts off the shoulder just a bit and you go to correct it. Depending on the type of shoulder, you could risk flipping and rolling your automobile. This is especially concerning on two-lane highways, where wide-load semi trucks might be coming in the other direction. What choice do you have but to veer slightly off of the roadway?
