Cary Car Accident Lawyer
Other Drivers Aren't the Only Danger You Face on the Roads
When a motorcycle, car or truck accident occurs, it is natural to think that the collision occurred because one of the drivers was negligent. Sometimes, though, another factor — a dangerously maintained or designed road — is to blame.
Governmental agencies like the North Carolina Department of Transportation have a legal duty to follow federal regulations and standards, and to provide roads that are safe. When roads are dangerous and/or an agency fails to address a known danger, victims may be able to pursue compensation from the state or any contractors who worked on the roadway.
The Durham unsafe road conditions attorneys of The Law Offices of John M. McCabe, P.A., can conduct a thorough investigation and provide seasoned and effective legal assistance. One of the challenging aspects of unsafe road condition accidents involves establishing that the unsafe road actually caused the accident. If you have been in a motor vehicle accident recently, ask yourself:
- Do you believe an unmarked or "blind" curve or intersection contributed to the accident?
- Did you lose control of your car on mud that a construction crew failed to clean up?
- Did an unsafe road shoulder height cause or contribute to the accident?
- Did an excessively large pothole or crack in the road contribute to the accident?
