Waco Municipal Negligence Lawyers

A significant portion of your hard earned money is directed to local governments through taxation. Some of that tax money is designated for local road construction and maintenance and should therefore serve to promote the safety motorists, passengers, and pedestrians in the area. But if roadways are not safely maintained, you may be at risk of serious damage or injury. Municipalities have a responsibility to maintain the roads within their jurisdiction and to protect their citizens from harm that could come because of roads being left in a state of disrepair.

If municipal negligence was a contributing factor in your auto accident and subsequent injury, it is important that you properly understand your legal rights. It may be possible to pursue financial compensation with a civil lawsuit. Contact the Waco municipal negligence lawyers at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., by calling 877-948-4842.

Municipal Responsibility

Governmental agencies are created with specific intentions and purposes. All of those purposes should work together to benefit the citizens served by the government. But even these agencies can be negligent in performing the tasks and responsibilities that are expected of them, whether due to budget constraints or simple poor oversight. This type of negligence can create danger on the roadways in the following ways:

  • Inadequately maintained bridges
  • Improper roadway maintenance
  • Lack of road signs
  • Failure to adequately respond to adverse weather conditions
