Dangerous Roadways
Morristown NJ Dangerous Roadway Accidents Lawyers
Roadway Defects Can Cause Car Accidents
Dangerous roadways include roadways that are in poor repair, icy, inadequate drainage, 
missing necessary safety signs or barriers, or are dangerous in some other way caused by human error or oversight.
When dangerous roadways contribute to a motor vehicle accident, the resulting question of who bears legal responsibility becomes much more complex. Perhaps one or both drivers bear some degree of responsibility. However, the extent to which the dangerous roadways contributed to the accident must also be examined — by experts who understand what they are looking at.
Attorneys Who Understand Lawsuits Based on Dangerous Roadways
At the Morristown, New Jersey, law firm of Leonard & Leonard, P.A., we have extensive experience handling complex cases. These complex cases include those where dangerous roadways contributed to the accident — resulting in injury.
Car accidents involving dangerous roadways usually result in legal action against a government agency — such as a state or federal transportation agency. Lawsuits against government agencies are complex because they proceed according to different rules than lawsuits against private citizens. Again, it is wise to seek legal counsel from lawyers with experience in these types of cases.
Our personal injury lawyers have decades of practical experience representing clients in dangerous roadway cases, where road design, maintenance or conditions contributed to the accident. Examples include:
- Potholes
- Bad drainage systems
- Water on the road
- Ice on the road
- Drop-offs
- Incorrect signage
- Missing signs
- Dangerous curves
- Inadequate median dividers or guardrails
We often work with transportation engineers and accident reconstructionists to develop a clear picture of how the presence of dangerous conditions on the road helped create the situation in which our client was injured. We work hard and we work smart — and we do not rest until we have put forth our best effort to get our client the compensation he or she deserves.
