Did an unsafe roadway play a role in your truck accident?
Generally, roads in the United States are well designed, constructed, and maintained. However, due to weather, poor construction, or lack of maintenance, there are some roads which can become dangerous. Some roads have been poorly designed and once in use, the dangers become apparent. One recent nationwide study found that more than half of the fatal accidents that occur in the United States are related to deficient roadway conditions.
Unsafe construction zones, lack of traffic controls, poorly maintained roads, and insufficient merging space all pose hazards to vehicles on the road. Tractor trailer trucks, with their larger size and weight compared to other vehicles, can be especially prone to accidents in unsafe conditions. If the roadway that is unsafe is a highway, with trucks traveling at high speeds, this can cause serious injury or even death.
In the United States, governments at the city, county and state levels are bound to not only design and construct safe roadways, but to maintain those roads in a reasonably safe condition. It is not always easy to tell whether dangerous road conditions or an unsafe highway design was a factor in an accident, so it is important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. Pursuing a lawsuit against a federal, state or local governmental entity can be particularly challenging, and your lawyer should know the laws regarding highway design and maintenance, as well regulations for commercial trucks, in order to ensure the success of your truck accident case.
