Injuries Due to Dangerous Roads

Contact Our Sacramento Car Accident Lawyers

Dangerous roads are a leading cause of car, truck, bicycle, and motorcycle accidents. Faulty design, construction, maintenance, or adaptation to changing conditions can cause a car to cross into a shoulder and hit a fixed object, roll over, or drop off a slope or cliff. While the government attributes these accidents to driver error, dangerous roads are often a contributing factor. However, there are few attorneys with the skill to recognize this issue or the experience to take on these expensive and challenging cases. We welcome them.

At Piering Law Firm, our Sacramento car accident attorneys have the experience and resources to handle the most challenging dangerous road cases. With more than 50 years of combined experience in personal injury law, our attorneys Robert Allen Piering, John Beals, and Sukhtej Atwal understand the complex factors involved in these cases and how to prove that dangerous roads caused your accident. If you believe that a dangerous road caused your accident, it is important to speak with a skilled attorney immediately.

Unrivaled Experience In Complex Cases Involving Dangerous Roads

The government has a duty to ensure that dangerous roads do not put Californian’s lives in danger. It must also act reasonably to repair dangerous roads. Proving that dangerous roads caused an accident requires an attorney to show that the government knew of the danger yet failed to correct it. This is a complex process requiring extensive investigation and research.

Our lawyers will review the original road designs, topographical maps, photos, traffic studies, and road maintenance records. We will investigate the cause of your accident and determine whether steps taken by the government could have prevented it. We will involve engineers, accident reconstructionists, and road design experts to build the strongest possible case for you.

While our primary goal is to obtain maximum compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, we also have a secondary goal: to force changes in dangerous road conditions that could save lives.

Types of Dangerous Roads That Lead to Accidents

The condition of a road may lead to an accident because it was designed or constructed improperly, is poorly maintained, or because weather conditions have created hazards.

Examples of common road dangers include:

Blemishes in the road like potholes or wheel ruts
Fallen debris, such as a downed tree or power lines
Ice patches
Steep shoulder drop-offs
Poorly designed intersections
Poorly painted road lines
Missing or misleading road signs
Work zones, especially if not carefully marked
