Coral Gables Poor Road Design

When there is a two-car collision or multiple vehicle collision, most people realize that there is an at-fault driver and that their insurance company can be contacted in order to get compensation for the injuries. But what happens in a single vehicle accident in Coral Gables or your community? In many cases, poor road design does play a role in these types of accidents, and there may be multiple liable parties that you can pursue as you seek compensation for your damages.

You may have more legal options than you realize and fighting aggressively for full compensation is not only your right but can also help protect you from severe financial distress down the line.

Examples of poor road design or road repair can include:

• Uneven road surfaces
• Potholes
• Poor draining
• Missing or insufficient signage
• Broken paving
• Poor road markings on crosswalks or highways
• Poor lighting
• Missing guardrails
• Malfunctioning traffic signals
• Vegetation that is overgrown on signs or other roadways
• Turning lanes or merge lanes that are too narrow or too sharp

Unfortunately, poor road design and inadequate road maintenance can occur just about anywhere, from freeways to small rural roads. When it does occur, it represents a considerable danger to motorists and other users of the road.

In some cases, it is obvious that poor road design caused a collision. If traffic lights were malfunctioning or a road surface was uneven or riddled with potholes, you may realize very quickly that your collision was caused at least in part by road conditions. In other cases, however, it can be more subtle. You may not realize that a specific intersection has poorly designed lanes or lights that are timed so that a large number of collisions occur on that intersection. In many cases, it takes a thorough investigation to determine the role that road design has played in an accident.

In many cases, to get answers about what has caused your collision, you will want to speak with a personal injury attorney in Coral Gables or your community. Attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts, investigators, engineers, and other professionals who can help determine whether road issues caused your collision.
