Deadly Defective Roadways
Fatal traffic accidents are often caused by defective roadways. Roadway defects which are not corrected will continue to cause unnecessary accidents and death. Some defects are obvious, such as a bridge collapse, but many are more difficult to detect and can even result in innocent drivers being held wrongly responsible for accidents.
Roadway defects
Roadway defects which can cause fatal accidents include:
· Improper design
· Failure to post warning signs or signals
· Malfunctioning traffic lights
· Inadequately maintained bridges and overpasses
· Missing or defective guardrails
· Excessive oil and/or gravel
· Debris which has not been removed in a timely fashion
· Inadequately marked construction zones
· Inadequate or malfunctioning warning signs or signals
· Inadequate highway division status, line striping and edge lines
· Shoulder drop-offs
· Inadequate or insufficient notification of changes in the shoulder
· Dangerous intersections which have not been modified despite past indications of hazard
Defective roadways can lead to a number of types of fatal accidents including:
· Bridge, overpass, or tunnel collapse
· Debris falling from bridges or overpasses
· Rollovers
· Head on collisions
· Accidents in intersections
· Pedestrian accidents
· Plunges off embankments or steep cliffs
· Rear end collisions and multicar pile-ups by striking stopped cars waiting in construction zones
Roadway defect wrongful death lawsuits
In most cases government entities are responsible for designing, building, and maintaining roadways. Lawsuits involving government entities are subject to strict time limits and more complicated rules and procedures than those against individuals and corporations.
Roadway defects can be very difficult to prove. Unfortunately, law enforcement and insurance companies cannot be trusted to conduct a thorough investigation and bring the defect to light. In some cases there will be a history of accidents caused by the same defect and an experienced attorney can find the paper trail which shows that the defect has caused accidents in the past. Often, you will need to move quickly to preserve the evidence of the defect before it is corrected.
One roadway defect can ruin many lives. When roadway defects go undetected innocent drivers may be held financially and even criminally responsible for accidents which they did not cause. If the defect is not corrected it will cause more accidents and senseless deaths.
If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident caused by a defective roadway, a wrongful death lawsuit may be the only form of justice available. Typically, those responsible for maintaining roadways cannot be charged criminally for the deaths caused by the defects. If the deceased was the breadwinner of the family, obtaining just compensation may be necessary to support yourself and your children in the future.
About the Author
If a loved one in your family has been seriously injured or killed as a result of what you believe is a defective roadway in Maryland, Washington DC, or Virginia, contact the law offices of Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata, & Siegel P.C.
