What are road hazards?
Road hazards are items in the roadway that are not normally there. These unwelcome obstructions pose a threat to unsuspecting drivers that may run them over or hit them. Things that are typically considered to be roadway hazards include the following:
- Potholes
- Debris
- Fallen tree limbs
- Broken down cars
- Construction equipment
It is the responsibility of the working construction company or the local municipality to ensure that roadways are kept clear and safe for drivers. Failure to respond appropriately to reports of road hazards can put them at fault for any injuries that occur as a result.
If you have been injured in a car accident that was caused by unmarked hazards in the roadway, you may deserve to claim damages. Contact the Waco car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. at 877-948-4842 to speak with us about your options.
