Road Defects and Auto Accidents
Auto accidents can be caused by many different factors, including vehicle defects, inclement weather conditions, and driver error. A common cause of many vehicle accidents is defective road conditions, which can pose a serious threat to the health and safety of drivers and passengers alike.
It is often the responsibility of state and local governments to maintain and repair damaged roadways to prevent serious accidents. If you or someone you love has been injured in a serious accident, you may be eligible for compensation for your pain, suffering, and medical expenses.

Road Defects
Commonly reported road defects include:
- Potholes
- Cracked asphalt
- Shoulder drop-off
- Damaged barricades or guard-rails
- Poorly designed entrance and exit ramps
- Faulty signage or roadway markings
Drivers and passengers may also suffer serious injuries if city workers leave construction vehicles or materials in the roadway, so it is especially important that such items be removed from driving lanes and properly stored in a safe place.
If there are road defects that have not been repaired, drivers should be warned of the impending dangers that they may face as they navigate the roads, highways, and city streets. If a hazard is not clearly marked and defined, a serious accident may occur.
