What Happens When the Road Causes a Crash?
When a car accident is caused by a negligent driver, it is obvious who is responsible. However, not all accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Many are actually caused by the road itself.
At the law firm of Owen, Patterson & Owen, our attorneys understand how to handle complicated accident cases involving road hazards. With more than 30 years of experience serving Southern California, we know how to find out who is responsible and hold them accountable. We know how to get results for you.
$3.5 Million Settlement: A driver was left paralyzed after a truck rollover accident that could have been prevented if proper guardrails had been in place along the steep shoulder of the road. Without having to go to trial, our lawyers obtained $3.5 million in compensation for the victim of the road hazard.
Road hazards can come in many forms. There can be defects in the blacktop, such as large potholes. There can be the lack of proper safeguards, such as guardrails or warning signs. There can be missing stop signs or malfunctioning stop lights at busy intersections. Any of these hazards can cause an accident with severe consequences.
Poorly managed construction zones can also be considered road hazards. These can involve situations such as unguarded holes, failure to put up traffic signs to warn of construction or even construction vehicles moving out into traffic.
Our law firm is able to represent clients in all road hazard and construction zone accident cases. We take great care in finding out who is responsible for the car accident. We do the work. We ask those responsible to provide you with fair compensation for your injuries. If they don't, we will take the matter to court to see that you get the positive outcome you deserve.
