Could Better Road Design Have Prevented Your Accident?
Highway design defects are a hidden cause of many motor vehicle accidents. If your accident could have been avoided with the help of better road engineering and construction, you may have a claim against the state. The following are just a few examples of road design defects:
- Inadequate signage: When traffic control signs are not designed, placed and installed correctly, drivers can get into serious collisions and other accidents.
- Poor intersection layout: A large percentage of accidents happen at intersections, and in some cases, intersection design plays a role by increasing the risk of collisions.
- Insufficient curve grading: When curves are not sufficiently graded, cars and trucks can be dragged off the road by centrifugal force, resulting in serious accidents.
- Inadequate drainage: Highway engineers have a responsibility to design roads in a manner that will reduce flooding and other problems caused by water flow.
- Improperly designed cable barriers: When median barriers are not carefully designed, they can allow vehicles to cross into opposing traffic, causing serious head-on collisions.
You may have limited time to bring a claim against Arizona highway officials. If you have been injured or have lost a loved one as a result of defective road design, do not hesitate to contact us to have your claim evaluated by an experienced personal injury trial lawyer.
