California Traffic Accident Attorneys—Negligent Roadway Design
Many auto accidents are caused by unsafe driving practices that place innocent motorists and passengers at risk because of the gross negligence of another driver. However, this is not the only cause of traffic accidents; negligent roadway design may also cause accidents resulting in serious injury or death.
What Is Negligent Roadway Design?
Within a city or municipality, officials have an obligation to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians travelling their roads. Whether the lighting is in disrepair; the roads have inherent structural problems or are in disrepair; or highways and freeways’ design is faulty, the city has a duty to fix these issues.
In order for a road to be considered safe, drivers must be able to see, process, and react to information of changes to the road or potential hazards. Building, maintaining, funding, and overseeing roads and road construction falls to both local and federal agencies (highways and freeways), but this is not always their top priority. When gross negligence causes roads to be unsafe for users, injured victims deserve compensation.
