Unsafe Road Conditions

Unsafe, defective, and dangerous road conditions are often a contributing factor to motor vehicle accidents. These conditions can include how the roadway or intersection is designed or maintained as well as road hazards, such as objects in the road, missing signs, signs blocked by trees or vegetation, malfunctioning traffic lights, maintenance neglect, poor lighting, lack of warning regarding road work, and more. Most accidents are contributed to driver error, weather conditions, or other causes; even law enforcement often neglect or fail to suspect unsafe road conditions as an underlying cause or contributory factor in an accident.

Types of Defective and Unsafe Roads

Unsafe conditions and defectively designed or maintained roads, highways, and freeways can range from intersections that have been poorly or dangerously designed to missing guardrails and vegetation blocking a driver's line of sight. Any type of road condition that may have contributed to your accident should be identified, investigated, and reported.
